Abstract
AbstractThis study aimed to elucidate the relationship between the quantitative value of suprapatellar effusion and the longitudinal changes in lower-extremity muscle mass (MM) in a cohort with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Fifty-three subjects (106 legs) with bilateral radiographic KOA at baseline (BL) were enrolled. MM was calculated by bioimpedance analysis three times at BL, and at the one-year (1Y) and three-year (3Y) follow-ups. The longitudinal change in the lower-extremity MM was calculated by subtracting MMBL from MM1Y, and MM1Y from MM3Y. Subjects with ≥1.0 z-score loss were defined as having severe MM loss (SMML). Effusion was evaluated as the sagittal area of suprapatellar pouch (mm2) by ultrasonography. The ROC curve was drawn to determine the cut-off of effusion area. General estimating equations (GEEs) were conducted with the prevalence of SMML as the dependent variable and with the cut-off of effusion area as the independent variable. Sixteen legs (15.1%) demonstrated SMMLBL-1Y and another sixteen legs demonstrated SMML1Y-3Y. GEEs revealed that individuals with ≥90 mm2 effusion had significantly higher odds of SMMLBL-1Y prevalence (Odds ratio: 21.561; P-value: 0.003). Individuals with leachate knee effusion at BL had a significant risk of losing MM through the first year of the initial knee effusion assessment.
