Clinical phenotypes based on clinical prognostic factors in patients with secondary hip osteoarthritis: preliminary findings from a prospective cohort study

ConclusionThree phenotypes with similar progression risk were identified. This finding will help in designing treatment tailored to each phenotype for hip OA progression prevention.Key Points• Three phenotypes with similar progression risk were identified based on clinical prognostic factors.• Phenotype 1 was characterized by young age and higher daily cumulative hip loading.• Phenotype 2 was relatively old age and had reduced JSW and less spinal mobility.• Phenotype 3 had changed thoracic spine alignment and less thoracic spine mobility.
