A sex- and site-specific relationship between body mass index and osteoarthritis: evidence from observational and genetic analyses
We primarily aimed to investigate whether there are phenotypic and genetic links underlying body mass index (BMI) and overall osteoarthritis (OA). We then intended to explore whether the relationships differ across sexes and sites. (Source: Osteoarthritis and Cartilage)

Harmonization of pain scores: comment on Osteoarthritis and Cartilage 2023;31(1):83 –95
In the January 2023 issue of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, Georgopoulos et al. published an interesting review article on the harmonization of pain scores(1). The authors converted different patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of pain to a single harmonized 0 –100 scale, and used the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) threshold as a reference point. However, because the included studies investigated different patient groups and used different definitions of PASS, we argue that the PASS threshold was a moving target.
