Association between synovial tissue volume (STV) and symptoms

Outcome	Synovial Tissue Volume (N = 50), b^† (95% CI), P value
WOMAC^* pain	2.2 (0.6–3.7), 0.006
WOMAC stiffness	1.1 (−0.8 to 3.1), 0.24
WOMAC function	2.1 (0.3 to 3.8), 0.02
WOMAC total	2.0 (0.5–3.5), 0.01

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

N-value corresponds to the number of participants included in each analyses.

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.
