Abstract

Introduction: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common musculoskeletal disorder which occur in different patterns. It is the most common form of arthritis, affecting millions of people worldwide year after year. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. OA can damage any joint that affects joints in one’s hands, knees, hips and spine. As there had been very few studies in Bangladesh we have not enough data regarding the risk factors of osteoarthritis. Objective: The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Methodology: This was a retrospective study which was conducted at the Department of Orthopedics Surgery in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from January 2018 to December 2018. Data were collected by a pre-designed questioner and analyzed by computer program, SPSS Version 20. Incomplete data-sheets were rejected before analysis and finally total study population was fixed to 146 with Osteoarthritis (OA). Result: Risk factor, family history was associated with 29 (19.86%) patients. It was the highest engagement and it was followed by Diabetes Mellitus: 27 (18.49%), history of injury: 14 (9.59%), Hypertension: 12 (8.22%) and previously operated: 7 (4.79%). In This study the comparison of sample data regarding risk factors have been displayed. Here against ACR, LEFS, K and L and VAS score P values were 0.876, 0.893, 0.067 and 0.436 respectively. So there was not any significant correlation. Conclusion: In this study ‘family history of osteoarthritis’ and ‘Diabetes Mellitus (DM)’ were two most frequent risk factors which was associated with osteoarthritis. But we did not find any significant correlation regarding any risk factor. More studies regarding OA are necessary to get the clear concepts about this issue.
