  • a Model obtained with generalised estimating equations (GEE). An OR >1 indicates an increased risk for undergoing TKA (total knee arthroplasty).

  • b OR adjusted for age and sex. β = regression coefficient (beta). JSN = joint space narrowing. K/L = Kellgren and Lawrence. OR = odds ratio. ROM = range of motion.
