Multivariable linear regression analysis of factors associated with the HOOS JR at baseline, accounting for factor 1 pain coping and factor 2 mood
| Variable | Regression coefficient (95% CI) | Standard error | Partial R2 | p value |
| Factor 1: Pain coping | -5.4 (-7.8 to -3.1) | 1.2 | 0.10 | < 0.001 |
| Factor 2: Mood | 0.51 (-1.8 to 2.9) | 1.2 | 0.0010 | 0.67 |
| Kellgren-Lawrence grade | -0.41 (-2.0 to 1.2) | 0.82 | 0.0013 | 0.61 |
| Employment status | ||||
| Employed | Reference value | |||
| Unemployed | 2.5 (-7.4 to 12) | 5.0 | 0.0013 | 0.62 |
| Retired | 4.0 (-0.16 to 8.1) | 2.1 | 0.018 | 0.06 |
| Disabled | -9.4 (-17 to -1.6) | 4.0 | 0.029 | 0.02 |
| Primary total joint replacement | ||||
| Yes | Reference value | |||
| No | -5.3 (-9.6 to -1.0) | 2.2 | 0.030 | 0.02 |
Adjusted R2 = 0.23; that is, this combination of variables explains 23% of the variance in HOOS JR at baseline.
