Relationship of Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis to Changes in Performance-based Physical Function Over 7 Years: The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective To determine the relationship of patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) to changes in performance-based function over 7 years. Methods There were 2666 participants (62.2 ± 8.0 yrs, BMI 30.6 ± 5.9 kg/m 2 , 60% female) from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study with knee radiographs at baseline who completed repeated chair stands and a 20-meter walk test (20MWT) at baseline, 2.5, 5, and 7 years. Generalized linear models assessed the relation of radiographic PFOA and radiographic PFOA with frequent knee pain to longitudinal changes in performance-based function. Analyses were adjusted for age, sex, BMI, tibiofemoral OA, and injury/surgery. Results Linear models demonstrated a significant group-by-time interaction for the repeated chair stands ( P = 0.04) and the 20MWT ( P < 0.0001). Those with radiographic PFOA took 1.01 seconds longer on the repeated chair stands ( P = 0.02) and 1.69 seconds longer on the 20MWT ( P < 0.0001) at 7 years compared with baseline. When examining the relation of radiographic PFOA with frequent knee pain to performance-based function, there was a significant group-by-time interaction for repeated chair stands ( P = 0.05) and the 20MWT ( P < 0.0001). Those with radiographic PFOA with frequent knee pain increased their time on the repeated chair stands by 1.12 seconds ( P = 0.04) and on the 20MWT by 1.91 seconds ( P < 0.0001) over 7 years. Conclusion Individuals with radiographic PFOA and those with radiographic PFOA with frequent knee pain have worsening of performance-based function over time. This knowledge may present opportunities to plan for early treatment strategies for PFOA to limit functional decline over time.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
