Common problems experienced by adults with osteoarthritis.

    Summary

    Many osteoarthritis patients face correctable issues like medication noncompliance and side effects. Poor functional status can predict these problems, suggesting targeted interventions for better arthritis management.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Primary Care Medicine
    • Health Services Research

    Background:

    • Osteoarthritis (OA) management involves addressing patient adherence and functional limitations.
    • Noncompliance and barriers to care are common but often overlooked issues in chronic disease management.
    • Understanding patient-reported problems is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of functional status limitations and medication noncompliance in osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
    • To identify common problems faced by OA patients during follow-up, including medication supply, side effects, and access to care.
    • To determine the relationship between baseline functional status and subsequent patient-reported problems.

    Main Methods:

    • Baseline assessment of functional status and noncompliance in 327 OA patients.

  • Follow-up interviews (telephone or in-person) with 96% of the study sample.
  • Analysis of patient-reported issues such as medication availability, gastrointestinal complaints, and primary care barriers.

    • Main Results:

    • One-third of OA patients reported baseline noncompliance.
    • Common follow-up problems included inadequate medication supply (47%), gastrointestinal complaints (36%), and primary care access barriers (32%).
    • Poorer baseline functional status correlated with a higher incidence of subsequent problems, with 75% of OA patients with comorbidities reporting significant symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Osteoarthritis patients frequently encounter correctable problems impacting their health.
    • Poor functional status serves as a potential indicator for identifying patients at risk for these issues.
    • Healthcare professionals should consider patient-centered interventions targeting functional status to mitigate common problems.
