Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease in the world, with an age-associated increase in both incidence and prevalence. Clinical and epidemiologic research is crucial to better understand risk factors for disease, find the best treatments for symptoms, and identify therapies to slow down or even prevent disease progression. This paper is based on a systematic review of the osteoarthritis literature published in English between 2017/05/01 and 2018/04/25, with a focus on papers which have the potential to improve patient care, or which suggest novel areas for future research.

Keywords: Clinical; Epidemiology; Osteoarthritis.
