Abstract

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most frequent cause of hand pain and disability in older people. There is though a lack of knowledge about the characteristics and patterns of hand OA over time. The aim of this study was to define functional classifications (phenotypes) of hand OA that could be meaningful in a primary care setting, and investigate what factors predict future deterioration or improvement of the condition.
