A comparison of quantitative and semi-quantitative methods for assessing cartilage status and change over time; data from the osteoarthritis initiative
Though MOAKS status scores showed reasonable correlation with quantitative measures of thickness in medial compartments, concordance between MOAKS and quantitative cartilage area loss was poor. Quantitative measures of thickness loss were substantially more responsive then MOAKS scores over a 1 and 2-year period.
