Table 2.

Enrollment Scenarios: The four enrollment scenarios are characterized by a different distribution of subjects from each of the Groups defined by Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) score.

Enrollment scenario (KL = 0) (KL = 1) (KL = 2) (KL = 3)
1. Base Case: community equipoise 50% 10% 20% 20%
2. Selective enrollment of subjects with less severe OA 60% 30% 5% 5%
3. Selective enrollment of subjects with more severe OA 10% 10% 30% 50%
4. Highly selective enrollment of subjects with severe OA 5% 5% 20% 70%

See Table 1 for a description of the baseline and follow up WOMAC scores for each KL grade, both for surgically and nonoperatively treated subjects.
