Assessment Outcomes of Knee Osteoarthritis
Keywords:
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), KOOS, Health quality of life, Pain scores.Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) mainly impacts older individuals and is a common source of
disability and decreased quality of life in this age group. This study was contributed to assess
outcomes of patients with knee osteoarthritis. A cross-sectional study was conducted for patients with
osteoarthritis of the knee, which included 80 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, and samples were
collected from different hospitals in Iraq during the period between July 15, 2022, and August 28, 2023.
This study contributed to assessing the quality of life for all patients with osteoarthritis in the Knee
before and after surgery under Health Quality Questionnaire SF-36. The clinical results of the patients
were recorded, which showed that patients in the age group between (60 - 70) years were 50% of the
total rate of patients, followed by patients in the age group between (50 - 59) years, which was 30%.
Female patients had a higher rate of 70% than Males at a rate of 30%. The rates of body mass index >
30 included 44 patients, the body mass index between (25 - 29.9) was 20 patients, and the body mass
index was 16 patients. This study showed the rates of patients’ quality of life assessment before and
after surgery, the most prominent of which was the aspect Physical was 32.51±12.85 before surgery
and 65.46±10.09 after surgery, and mental health was 51.92±8.52 before surgery and 78.63±10.35 after
surgery. This study indicated that knee osteoarthritis negatively affects daily activities and well-being,
which contributes to improving the quality of patients’ general health.
