Patients and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 150 patients with knee OA diagnosed according to the American College of Rheumatology Criteria for classification knee OA. Patients’ age, gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, educational level, and disease duration were recorded. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score was used to measure functional status of patients with knee OA. Results: A total of 150 (97 females) patients with knee OA were recruited in the study. The mean age of patients was 52.5±10.1 year and mean BMI was 30.3±6.0 kg/m2. The mean of total WOMAC score was 8.05±2.10 (Range 3–12). The mean WOMAC of: pain score was 3.22 ±0.76 (1–4), stiffness score was 2.05±1.01 and for functional disability score was 2.79±0.88. There was a positive significant correlation between age of the patients and severity of knee OA assessed with total WOMAC score (p=0.026). However, there was a significant negative correlation between educational level and total WOMAC score (p=0.015). Conclusions: Functional status in knee OA was impaired and there was a statistically positive significant correlation between age of the patients and severity of knee OA with functional impairment. Also, significant negative correlation was demonstrated between educational level and functional impairment.https://www.mjrheum.org/assets/files/792/file144_795.pdfknee osteoarthritisosteoarthritisfunctional statuswestern ontario and mcmaster universities osteoarthritis index (womac) score |
