How this model should be used:
For most patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA), the combined intervention of manual physical herapy and exercise is clinically beneficial, relatively inexpensive, and has no known adverse effects.1 This model defines the population of patients with knee OA who are unlikely to benefit from manual physical therapy and exercise, requiring alternative interventions.
Definition of nonsuccess:
Nonsuccess was defined as improvement of <12% in the total Western ontario macmaster (WOMAC) score after 4 weeks of treatment.2
Model performance:
The final regression model was a good fit to the data: Hosmer & Lemeshow test X2 = 2.90 (P=.940); Nagelkerke R2=0.680.
