Possible of the risk factors of osteoarthritis at knee joint for female patient attended at CRP

Abstract

Purpose: To identify the possible of risk factors of osteoarthritis at knee joint for female patient attended at CRP. Objective: To explore the socio-demography information, to identify the vulnerable age group, occupation, traumatic and nontraumatic injury for possible of risk factors of osteoarthritis at knee joint for female patient attended at CRP. Methodology: The study was hospital based case control Study. Convenience sampling technique was used to carry out the study. Total sample was 60 among them 30 were cases and 30 were controls. The data were collected through using structured questionnaire by face-to-face interview. The area of the study was musculoskeletal unit of CRP, Savar, Dhaka. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Result: Investigator found the risk of knee osteoarthritis increased in the past history of a major or acute knee injury, odds ratio (OR) = 1.529 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.536-4.361), using high heeled shoe, OR = 1.784 (95% CI = 0.616- 5.169), past history of painful knee swelling, OR = 6.000 (95% CI = 1.890-19.043), bare foot walking, OR = 2.667 (95% CI = 0.924-7.699), high body mass index, OR = 2.000 (95% CI = 0.619-6.465), duration of daily physical activity more than four hour, OR = 1.308 (95% CI = 0.473-3.615), stair climbing, OR = 1.351 (95% CI = 0.460- 3.968), sitting on the floor for home activity, OR = 2.250 (95% CI = 0.801-6.321), prolong standing, OR = 4.125 (95% CI = 1.387-12.270), positive family history of knee or other joint diseases, OR = 2.591 (95% CI = 0.914-7.342), regular weight bearing, OR = 1.818 (95% CI = 0.518- 6.382), and sustained knee bending, OR = 2.000 (95% CI = 0.705-5.677). Conclusion: The result of research is including the female person who have the past history of knee injury or overweight or physical problem and or any faulty functional activity. Acknowledging these risk factors are useful for the prevention of knee osteoarthritis of female person in Bangladesh.
