Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Changes in the Pain Intensity Subscale

KOA patients used KOOS questionnaire, HOA patients used HOOS questionnaire. Pain intensity is one subscale of KOOS and HOOS questionnaire, each pain intensity question provides standard answer options: 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Extreme. The results for KOOS pain intensity subscale were calculated as \[100 - (mean value of all subscale questions \* 100) / 4\]. Results score is from 0 to 100. 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms. HOOS pain intensity subscale results calculation used a similar method.

Time frame: From enrollment up to 64 weeks

Changes in Other Symptoms Subscale

KOA patients used KOOS questionnaire, HOA patients used HOOS questionnaire. Other symptoms is one subscale of KOOS and HOOS questionnaire, each other symptoms question provides standard answer options: 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Extreme. The results for KOOS other symptoms subscale were calculated as \[100 - (mean value of all subscale questions \* 100) / 4\]. Results score is from 0 to 100. 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms. HOOS other symptoms subscale results calculation used a similar method.

Time frame: From enrollment up to 64 weeks

Change in Functional Activity of the Joint Subscale

KOA patients used KOOS questionnaire, HOA patients used HOOS questionnaire. Functional activity is one subscale of KOOS and HOOS questionnaire, each functional activity question provides standard answer options: 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Extreme. The results for KOOS functional activity subscale were calculated by converting value of all subscale questions to KOOS-Physical Short form score. Results score is from 0 to 100, 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms. HOOS functional activity subscale results used a similar method with HOOS-Physical Short form.

Time frame: From enrollment up to 64 weeks

Change in Life Quality Subscale

KOA patients used KOOS questionnaire, HOA patients used HOOS questionnaire. Life quality is one subscale of KOOS and HOOS questionnaire, each life quality question provides standard answer options: 0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Extreme. The results for KOOS life quality subscale were calculated as \[100 - (mean value of all subscale questions \* 100) / 4\]. Results score is from 0 to 100. 100 indicating no symptoms and 0 indicating extreme symptoms. HOOS life quality subscale results calculation used a similar method.
