Osteoarthritis (OA) is a considerable health problem worldwide. It is known to be associated with certain occupational risk factors. We examined the prevalence rate of OA by occupational cluster. Data were collected from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2010–2013). The total number of unweighted sample size was 9,905 participants: 4,460 men and 5,445 women, and OA prevalence was 5.3% and 18.4% respectively. OA patients were defined as participants with knee/hip joint pain and radiographic change of knee/hip joint. Occupational type was classified as either white, pink, blue, or green collar based on the occupational characteristics following physical demand: white for manager and professionals; pink for clerks and service/sales workers; blue for craft/trade workers, machine operators and assemblers, and elementary manual workers; and green for agricultural/fishery workers. We calculated the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for the odds of a participant’s having OA according to the occupational cluster, with gender stratification. The multiple logistic regression model showed that, compared to the white collar group, the ORs of the pink, blue, and green collar workers were 1.23 (95% CI 0.64–2.36), 1.85 (95% CI 1.18–2.88), and 2.91 (95% CI 1.86–4.54), respectively, in males, and 2.53 (95% CI 1.71–3.73), 2.86 (95% CI 1.94–4.21), and 3.90 (95% CI 2.60–5.83), respectively in females. The prevalence rate of OA was associated with the occupational cluster, in order from highest to lowest: green, blue, pink, and white collar.

“…Prevalence of OA is almost double than male in the study. Dulay et al 9 confirmed that females are twice more likely to be affected than males. Another study conducted by Yuqing Zhang et al 8 showed that OA is more prevalent in women (13%) than in men (10%).…”

“…9 The number of OA cases rises in people of advancing age, possibly beginning as early as the third decade of life. As the population of elderly patients continues to grow, OA becomes a significant medical and financial concern and is expected to be a heavy economic burden on healthcare systems and community services all around the world.…”

Objectives:To compare efficacy and safety of topical plus reduced dose of diclofenac to oral diclofenac in therapeutic dose. Method: The study was prospective, comparative and randomized, which included 50 patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. Patients were randomized to receive either -oral diclofenac alone (50 mg thrice daily) (therapy1) or decreased dose of oral diclofenac and topical diclofenac (75 mg SR once daily + 10 mg Nanogel thrice daily) (therapy 2). The patients had been followed up for 7 days. Visual Analogue Scale and Lequesne Index has been used to evaluate the efficacy. Adverse drug reaction form, WHO and Naranjo Causality Assessment Scale were used to evaluate the safety of the patients. Data were analyzed by independent student t-test. Results: Out of 50 patients 17 were male and 33 were female.

The incidence of Osteoarthritis (OA) is gradually increasing worldwide due to two main reasons: longer life expectation and increased functional demand. Several treatment options have been proposed for this disease. Conservative treatment has the goal to improve the quality of life, reduce pain, and prevent the progression of the disease. Hyaluronate viscosupplementation is one of the most used infiltrative treatments for OA, but, despite its common use, clinical efficacy is still under question. Though adverse reactions for this medical option are actually rare, septic arthritis is a very scaring complication. We present a case report of a 59-year-old man who has been submitted to only one knee hyaluronate injection and consequently reported a severe septic arthritis and systemic sepsis, which lead to the death of the patient. We recommend producing correct guidelines for a clean aseptic procedure of injection to obtain proper consensus from the patient and to pay attention to his clinical history and comorbidities before acting any kind of invasive treatment, including joint injection.
