TABLE V.
Patient-Reported Outcome Scores at Baseline and 2 Years Postoperatively, Stratified by Preoperative Compartment-Specific Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) Score*
Patient-Reported Outcome | Low Medial, Low Lateral | Low Medial, High Lateral | High Medial, Low Lateral | High Medial, High Lateral | P Value |
WOMAC pain | |||||
Baseline | 43.5 (17.1) | 38.4 (17.5) | 36.5 (16.4) | 41.1 (17.9) | 0.57 |
2 yr | 10.1 (20.2) | 7.4 (11.6) | 5.7 (10.6) | 7.8 (12.2) | 0.47 |
Change from baseline to 2 yr | −33.4 (15.6) | −31.0 (15.4) | −30.7 (19.2) | −33.4 (15.3) | 0.69 |
KOOS ADL at baseline | 55.0 (16.3) | 61.8 (16.3) | 62.6 (15.7) | 58.6 (17.4) | 0.73 |
KOOS ADL at 2 years | 86.7 (19.5) | 89.5 (16.2) | 92.6 (10.6) | 90.7 (12.0) | 0.26 |
Change in KOOS ADL from baseline to 2 years | 31.8 (16.1) | 27.7 (16.3) | 29.9 (19.1) | 32.0 (17.3) | 0.35 |
Patient-reported outcome scores are reported separately for 4 preoperative compartment-specific OARSI score combinations: low medial, low lateral (milder osteoarthritis of the medial and lateral compartments); low medial, high lateral (milder osteoarthritis of the medial compartment, more severe arthritis of the lateral compartment); high medial, low lateral (more severe osteoarthritis of the medial compartment, milder osteoarthritis of the lateral compartment); and high medial, high lateral (more severe arthritis of the medial and lateral compartments). Continuous variables are given as the mean, with the standard deviation in parentheses. P values represent comparison across all compartment-specific OARSI score combinations, as assessed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. WOMAC (Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index) pain is scaled 0 to 100, with 100 being the worst pain. KOOS ADL (Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score activities of daily living) is scaled 0 to 100, with 100 being the best function.
