Abstract | AIMS: To assess the probability of individuals with early-diagnosed hip or knee osteoarthritis experiencing a fall and/or fracture compared to a cohort without osteoarthritis. METHODS: Data were analyzed from the Osteoarthritis Initiative dataset. We identified all people who were diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis within a 12 month period, compared to those without osteoarthritis. We determined whether there was a difference in the occurrence of falls, with or without consequential fractures, between people newly diagnosed with hip or knee osteoarthritis compared to those who had not, using odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: There is an increased risk of falls and fractures in early-diagnosed knee and hip osteoarthritis compared to those without osteoarthritis. International guidelines on the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis should consider the management of falls risk.
