Assessing the prevalence of hand osteoarthritis in epidemiological studies. The reliability of a radiological hand scale.
OBJECTIVE The hands are often involved in the osteoarthritic disease process. A radiological grading scale is presented, derived from a published atlas, to assess the prevalence of hand osteoarthritis (OA) involvement in clinical and epidemiological studies and its reproducibility is studied. METHODS This hand scale is based on the radiological feature "joint space narrowing", which represent...
