Abstract
Introduction

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease associated with functional impairment, activity limitation, participation restriction, and poor quality of life. Therefore, comprehensive assessment is important to determine how complex problems affect patients with OA.

Objectives

The first aim of this study was to link and allocate items of The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) OA index with the ICF Comprehensive Core Set for OA. The second aim was to examine the relationship between quality of life and each ICF component score based on WOMAC clinical data in OA.

Materials and methods

Health status was evaluated with WOMAC and quality of life with the Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). The WOMAC items were linked with codes of the ICF Comprehensive Core Set for OA and allocated with the ICF components by three researchers. The relationship between WOMAC scores and the NHP was determined by Pearson correlation analysis.

Results

87 patients with OA were included. As distinguished by the researchers, 7 items of WOMAC covered body function and 17 covered activity-participation. Body function and activity-participation had a moderate correlation with the pain subtest of the NHP and low correlation with the energy level subtest and total score of the NHP. Activity-participation had a high correlation with the physical abilities subtest of the NHP.

Conclusion

Although WOMAC does not cover environmental factors, it is a comprehensive tool to assess health status and quality of life. Our results showed that in OA physical abilities can lead to limitations in activity and participation, and these limitations are associated with the individual's pain, energy level, and quality of life.

Clinical trial registration number: NCT04956510.

Resumen
Introducción

La osteoartritis (OA) es una enfermedad degenerativa común asociada con deficiencias funcionales, limitaciones en la actividad, restricciones en la participación, así como una mala calidad de vida. Por tanto, la evaluación integral es importante para determinar cómo los problemas complejos afectan a los pacientes con OA.

Objetivos

El primer objetivo de este estudio fue vincular y asignar elementos del índice OA de las universidades de Western Ontario y McMaster (WOMAC) con el conjunto básico completo de ICF para OA, mientras que el segundo objetivo fue examinar la relación entre la calidad de vida y las puntuaciones de cada componente de la ICF en función de los datos clínicos de WOMAC en OA.

Materiales y métodos

Se evaluó el estado de salud con WOMAC y la calidad de vida con Nottingham Health Profile (NHP). Los ítems de WOMAC se vincularon con códigos de ICF Comprehensive Core Set for OA y 3 investigadores los asignaron con los componentes de ICF. La relación entre las puntuaciones WOMAC y NHP se determinó mediante el análisis de correlación de Pearson.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 87 pacientes con OA. Según la distinción de los investigadores, 7 ítems de WOMAC cubrieron la función corporal y 17 cubrieron la actividad-participación. La función corporal y la participación en la actividad tuvieron una correlación moderada con la subprueba de dolor de NHP y una correlación baja con la subprueba de nivel de energía y la puntuación total de NHP. La actividad-participación tuvo una alta correlación con la subprueba de habilidades físicas de NHP.

Conclusión

Aunque WOMAC no cubre los factores ambientales, es una herramienta integral para evaluar el estado de salud y la calidad de vida. Nuestros resultados mostraron que en la OA, las habilidades físicas pueden conducir a limitaciones en la actividad y la participación, y estas limitaciones se asocian con el dolor, el nivel de energía y la calidad de vida del individuo.
