Osteoarthritis knee hip quality of life questionnaire assessment in Egyptian primary knee osteoarthritis patients: Relation to clinical and radiographic parameters

Conclusion: Egyptian patients with primary KOA have relatively poor HRQoL; reflected mainly by pain component of the OAKHQoL questionnaire. Disease duration and bilaterality were predictors for lower scores of all questionnaire domains, knee stiffness for four subscales. Hypertension, knee deformity and K-L classification were good predictors for lower scores of two subscales.
