About this study

Official title: First Affilated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University

The aim is to determine the outcomes of calorie-restricted diet and exercise intervention; libitum diet and waiting list control; early arthroscopic partial meniscectomy(APM) or delayed APM effect on MetS patients with Degenerate menisucus lesions.

Read the detailed description

The investigators recruited 180 patients with Metabolic Syndrome and knee symptoms with degenerate meniscus lesions by MRI from orthopaedics department from June 2017 to March 2020 at First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University. Participants were diagnosed with MetS and degenerate meniscus tear with a mild or no osteoarthritis KL<2 verified by X ray. Participants were randomly dividied into calorie-restricted diet and exercise intervention group; libitum diet and waiting list control group; early APM (syndrome within 3-6 months) group or a delayed APM(syndrome more than 6 months) group as a computer sequenced number. The primary outcome was the change in metabolic syndrome components and knee function score of WOMAC, KOOS,WOMET,IKDC were determined by two fixed orthopadic surgeons who were blinded to the intervention.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Calorie restricted diet and exercise interventionDietary supplement

    the calorie restricted diet were prescribed a balanced diet that provided an energy deficit of 800 kcal/day from their daily energy requirement.Macronutrient content of low caloric diet, expressed as percentage of ingested energy with carbohydrates 45-65%; fat 20-35%; and protein 10- 35%[36]. Participants were guided by a dietitian for adjustments of their caloric intake weekly for six months.Participants performed 1 or 2 sets at a resistance of approximately 65% of their one-repetition maximum, with 8 to 12 repetitions of each exercise; they gradually increased the intensity to 2 to 3 sets at a resistance of approximately 80% of their one-repetition maximum, with 6 to 8 repetitions of each exercise.

  • libitum diet and waiting list control groupProcedure or surgery

    libitum diet and waiting list control group, participants then underwent a calorie of 2000 calorie above based on libitum free diets recommended to adults and normal physical activity without exercise during the program.

  • Early arthroscopic partial menisectomy groupProcedure or surgery

    Early APM group participants received APM with syndrome within 3 to 6 months

  • delayed APM group recruit participants with symptoms lasting for more than 6 monthsProcedure or surgery

    delayed APM group recruit participants with symptoms lasting for more than 6 months

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Knee KOOS4

    the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) holds five subscales: (1) Pain (9 items); (2) other Symptoms (7 items); (3) Activities of Daily Living (ADL, 17 items); (4) Sport and Recreation function (Sport/Rec, 5 items); and (5) knee-related Quality of Life (QoL, 4 items). Each subscale is scored separately from zero (extreme knee problems) to 100 (no knee problems) life (KOOs 4 ) were assessed.One of the most frequently-used knee-specific PROMs is the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) which was developed for adults who have knee OA or knee injuries.KOOS holds five subscales: (1) Pain (9 items); (2) other Symptoms (7 items); (3) Activities of Daily Living (ADL, 17 items); (4) Sport and Recreation function (Sport/Rec, 5 items); and (5) knee-related Quality of Life (QoL, 4 items). Each subscale is scored separately from zero (extreme knee problems) to 100 (no knee problems)

    Measured: up to 12 months

  2. the scale of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)

    the WOMAC score is a disease-specific self-report multidimensional questionnare assesing pain, siffness, and physical functional disability.WOMAC scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse physical function.

    Measured: up to 12 months

  3. The International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form (IKDC).

    The IKDC is a questionnaire that has high reliability and validity for patients with a meniscal tear. The questionnaire contains 18 items scored in 1 of 3 ways: 11-point Likert scale, 5-point Likert scale, or dichotomous yes or no. After the participant completes the questionnaire, the scores are summed, and the total score is transformed to a value on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 representing the highest knee function.

    Measured: up to 12 months

  4. The WOMET score

    The WOMET is a meniscus-specific health-related quality-of-life instrument, validated especially for patients with a degenerative meniscal tear.The Western Ontario Meniscal Evaluation Tool (WOMET) contains 16 items addressing three domains: 9 items ad-dressing physical symptoms; 4 items addressing disabilities with regard to sports, recreation, work, and lifestyle; and 3 items addressing emotions. The score indicates the percentage of a normal score; therefore, 100 is the best possi- ble score, and 0 is the worst possible score.

    Measured: up to 12 months

  5. height

    height in meters

    Measured: up to 12 months

  6. weight

    weight in kilograms

    Measured: up to 12 months

    Measured: up to 12 months

  8. waist circumstance

    waist circumstance in centimeter

    Measured: up to 12 months

  9. Kellgren-Lawrence grade

    A Kellgren-Lawrence grade of 0 indicates no osteoarthritis, a grade of 1 with questionable osteophyte indicates possible osteoarthritis; a grade of 2 with definite osteophyte and no joint-space narrowing indicates mild osteoarthritis, a grade of 3 with ≤50% joint-space narrowing or a grade of 4 with>50% joint-space narrowing indicates severe osteoarthritis were excluded.

    Measured: up to 12 months

  10. systolic blood pressure

    systolic blood pressure in mm Hg
