LOINC long common name : PhenX - arthritis - osteoarthritis protocol 170201;
LOINC short name : Arthritis osteoarthritis proto;
LOINC description : This protocol is divided into two parts. The first part contains detailed instructions
for obtaining knee, hand, and pelvic radiographs using the Radiographic Procedure
Manual for Examinations of the Knee, Hand, Pelvis and Lower Limbs from the Osteoarthritis
Initiative: A Knee Health Study. The second part of the protocol is the Kellgren-Lawrence
Grading Scale(c). This scale is a tool used by radiologists to determine the extent
of osteo-arthritic findings seen via radiographs. Radiologists look at the amount
of spacing between joints, bone formation, and bone contour when determining the Kellgren-Lawrence
Grade(c). The Skin, Bone, Muscle and Joint Working Group (WG) recommends the knee,
hand, and hip as the most critical areas to examine for osteoarthritis in genome wide
association studies (GWAS) and other large population-based studies. Study investigators
will need to tailor the area of examination according to their specific study hypotheses.
The Working Group recommends using the Osteoarthritis Initiative radiographic procedure
manual for obtaining radiographs. This manual provides guidance for obtaining radiographs
of the knee, hand, and pelvis of adults. However, please note that not all sites must
be done. Additionally, the Working Group recommends using the Kellgren-Lawrence Grading
Scale(c) once a radiograph is obtained. The Kellgren-Lawrence Grading Scale(c) grades
are for each joint and are not combined or averaged. Each grade provides information
on the level of osteoarthritis at each joint location.;
