“…For example, the prevalence of osteoarthritis in India, which has the second largest population in the world, a size close to that of China, has increased from 23.46 million in 1990 to 62.35 million in 2019 [ 21 ]. In the Middle East and North Africa, which have a different sociodemographic character from China, knee osteoarthritis increased 2.88-fold [ 32 ], hip osteoarthritis increased 3.1-fold [ 33 ] and hand osteoarthritis increased 2.7-fold [ 34 ], from 1990 to 2019.…”

Background This study aimed to evaluate the epidemiology of osteoarthritis in China in a comprehensive and reliable way, to project its future epidemiological patterns, and to mitigate its health hazards. Material/Methods Data were extracted and analyzed from the Global Burden of Diseases Study 2019. Trends in osteoarthritis epidemiology were explored using joinpoint regression analysis. Additionally, we analyzed dynamic trends using the sociodemographic index (SDI) of China. To assess and predict the epidemiology of osteoarthritis from 2020 to 2039, we used both the Bayesian age-period-cohort model and Nordpred model. Results The number of prevalent cases, incident cases, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for osteoarthritis in China increased from 51.8, 4.6, and 1.8 million, respectively, in 1990, to 132.8, 10.7, and 4.7 million, respectively, in 2019, and the average annual percentage changes were 3.286, 2.938, and 3.324, respectively. The prevalence and YLDs peaked in the population aged over 90 years old, while the incidence peaked in the population aged around 50 years old. A significant positive correlation was found between osteoarthritis burden and SDI. Osteoarthritis burden is expected to continue to increase. In the population studied here, it was higher in women than in men, but this may invert by 2039. Conclusions The prevalence, incidence, and YLDs of osteoarthritis had significantly increased and may continue to increase during the next 2 decades. Prevention and treatment strategies should target women, middle-aged individuals, and the elderly.

“…Such findings could be due to an increase in OA-related risk factors in MENA countries, including obesity and diet changes [13 ▪▪ ]. This study was limited by the heterogeneity in the definition and method of diagnosing hand OA across MENA, demonstrating the need to standardize such criteria [13 ▪▪ ].…”

“…Globally, a recent study seeking to explore the epidemiology of hand OA in the MENA found that the age-standardized prevalence of hand OA increased 2.7 times between 1990 and 2019, while globally rates have generally decreased [13 ▪▪ ]. Such findings could be due to an increase in OA-related risk factors in MENA countries, including obesity and diet changes [13 ▪▪ ].

Purpose of review This review highlights recently published studies on osteoarthritis (OA) epidemiology, including topics related to understudied populations and joints, imaging, and advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) methods. Recent findings Contemporary research has improved our understanding of the burden of OA in typically understudied regions, including ethnic and racial minorities in high-income countries, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Latin America. Efforts have also been made to explore the burden and risk factors in OA in previously understudied joints, such as the hand, foot, and ankle. Advancements in OA imaging techniques have occurred alongside the developments of AI methods aiming to predict disease phenotypes, progression, and outcomes. Summary Continuing efforts to expand our knowledge around OA in understudied populations will allow for the creation of targeted and specific interventions and inform policy changes aimed at reducing disease burden in these groups. The burden and disability associated with OA is notable in understudied joints, warranting further research efforts that may lead to effective therapeutic options. AI methods show promising results of predicting OA phenotypes and progression, which also may encourage the creation of targeted disease modifying OA drugs (DMOADs).

“…The addition of health care insurance coverage may serve as an incentive for consumers to actively pursue preventative treatment and screenings. Sufficient infrastructure is necessary to handle regular health examinations, screenings, and wellness initiatives that may be covered by insurance (Hoveidaei et. al., 2023, Huraysi et.…”

The Saudi healthcare scene has seen significant changes, with an increased emphasis on improving the quality and availability of medical treatments. Given the critical role that hospitals play in the delivery of healthcare services, it is critical to understand the relationship between management strategies and operational efficiency. It is difficult to transform a weak existing program into a large project of national health care insurance in a country that lacks a stable and implanted national health care insurance program, such as KSA. This inclusion, while highly helpful for human health care, poses a significant challenge for health care management and may have an impact on Management Efficiency, which is heavily influenced by variables such as Management Staff Satisfaction. Plan for Facility Availability, Management Cost Reduction, and Patient Safety Improvement After healthcare insurance reforms, healthcare professionals were required to have compensatory shifts, which healthcare administrators were required to supply. Using well-established theories of organizational management and healthcare economics, this study will enhance hospital management practices in terms of operational efficiency results. Furthermore, the study looks into the extent to which the availability of health insurance functions as a moderator in this relationship. The availability of health care insurance influences patients' ability to obtain medical services and has the potential to influence the efficacy of hospital management practices. Quantitative research was employed to achieve these objectives. Quantitative data is gathered through surveys and historical hospital performance metrics derived from interviews and focus group conversations with key players in Saudi Arabia's healthcare system.
