Individualized predictions of changes in knee pain, quality of life and walking speed following patient education and exercise therapy in patients with knee osteoarthritis – A prognostic model study

To facilitate shared decision-making for patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), we aimed at building clinically applicable models to predict the individual change in pain intensity (VAS scale 0 -100), knee-related quality of life (QoL) (KOOS QoL score 0-100) and walking speed (m/sec) immediately following two educational and 12 supervised exercise therapy sessions.
