About this study

Official title: Etude 3000 ARTHROSES Symptomatic Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis Prevalence Survey. Programme de Recherche du Groupe Qualité de Vie, de la Section Epidémiologie et de la Section Arthrose de la Société Française de Rhumatologie

Nationwide descriptive epidemiology survey aiming to determine lower limb OA prevalence, based on a validated method previously used to assess inflammatory rheumatism (rheumatoid arthritis and spondylarthropathy) prevalence in France.

Read the detailed description

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease progressively affecting joint cartilage and subchondral bone, leading to pain, limited range of motion and functional impairment. Knee and hip are the more frequently affected joints. There is no treatment able to cure OA or at least to slow down cartilage damage. Thus, when symptomatic treatments become ineffective, joint prosthetic replacement is the unique solution.

There is a substantial lack of information about osteoarthritis (OA) epidemiology in France, as well as in other European countries, which becomes more and more critical with population aging. The need for additional knowledge was outlined in the law about public health priorities in France, published on August 9th, 2004. In this document, a specific call is made for additional investigation on functional limitations, disability and quality of life modification of people affected by OA.

Up to now, available information is mainly limited to short- or medium-term studies, conducted in clinic-based samples. Thus, based on demography and public health conclusions, implementing population-based epidemiologic studies is required in order to improve scientific knowledge with regards to :

  • prevalence of symptomatic OA,
  • its natural history over years and potential prognostic factors influencing the disease,
  • its impact in terms of quality of life changes, disability, lack of autonomy and health resource use.

Our expert group, which has a substantial experience in osteoarthritis, epidemiology and health service research, has developed a 2-part research program aiming to help answering to OA-related public health questions:

  • Part 1: a nationwide descriptive epidemiology survey aiming to determine lower limb OA prevalence, based on a validated method previously used to assess inflammatory rheumatism (rheumatoid arthritis and spondylarthropathy) prevalence in France.
  • Part 2: the constitution of a population-based cohort of OA patients, aiming to collect clinical, biologic and radiological data about OA natural history, predictors of structural progression, consequences on quality of life, function and health resource use.

The present study is the part 1 of the program

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 6 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01400529, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jul 2011.
