Association between ligament-based BML volume, with or without a cyst-like component, and symptoms

MRI parameter	Outcome
	b (95% CI), P value
	WOMAC^† pain score	WOMAC stiffness score	WOMAC function score	WOMAC total score
Ligament-based BMLs without a cyst-like component^‡ (N = 13)	2.6 (−2.2 to 7.4), 0.29	2.6 (−3.0 to 8.3), 0.36	3.0 (−2.2 to 8.3), 0.26	2.9 (−1.9 to 7.6), 0.23
Ligament-based BMLs with a cyst-like component^‡,^* (N = 6)	1.1 (−3.9 to 6.0), 0.67	−2.5 (−8.4 to 3.4), 0.4	2.5 (−2.9 to 7.9), 0.36	1.8 (−3.1 to 6.7), 0.47

All results presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

N-values correspond to the number of participants included in each analyses.

Volumes include cyst-like component volume.

^†

WOMAC index; range from 0 to 100 units with higher scores denoting worse pain and disability.

^‡

Beta coefficients are scaled to reflect a unit change in WOMAC score (0–100) for a 1 cm³ increase in volume in the structural parameter.
