KNEE PAIN AND DISABILITY IN THE COMMUNITY

McALINDON, T. E., COOPER, C., KIRWAN, J. R., DIEPPE, P. A.·1992·Rheumatology

Abstract

In order to investigate the strength of any relationship between knee pain and disability, a postal questionnaire was sent to 2102 men and women aged over 55 registered at a general practice in Bristol. A response rate of 80.6% was achieved at second reminder. Knee pain was common particularly in women (27.6% overall). Disability was also more frequently reported in women (P less than 0.05) and rose with increasing age. Respondents with knee pain had significantly more disability relating to upper as well as lower limb activities (P less than 0.05).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
