Progressors at other anatomical sites of OA Knee OA
Knee OS progressors Knee OS non‐progressors OR (95% CI) Knee JSN progressors Knee JSN non‐progressors OR (95% CI)
Hand osteophytes 30 10 2.5 (0.6 to 10.0) 10 25 0.6 (0.1 to 2.6)
Hand JSN 25 7 1.8 (0.4 to 7.7) 15 26 0.4 (0.1 to 1.2)

Except where otherwise indicated, values are numbers of patients.

AO, anterior osteophytes; BMI, body mass index; CI, confidence interval; DSN, disc space narrowing; JSN, joint space narrowing; OA, osteoarthritis; OR, odds ratio; OS, osteophytes.
