Chronic knee pain while awaiting arthroplasty is associated with worsening joint-specific function, health-related quality of life and personal wellbeing, and increased use of opioid analgesia
Four in five patients had CKP after waiting 12 months, which was associated with deteriorations in HRQoL and knee health, worse wellbeing, and increased opioid analgesia use. The OKS-PS at six months could be used to identify patients at risk of CKP after 12 months of waiting.
