Weighing the Heavy Burden of Osteoarthritis: Improving Function and Quality of Life

Access Activity

Overview / Abstract:

The burden of osteoarthritis (OA) is a heavy one, often leading to poor quality of life (QoL) due to functional limitations and loss of independence, poor sleep quality, fatigue, depressed mood, and increased healthcare expenditures. Additionally, comorbidities such as stroke, peptic ulcer, and metabolic syndrome must be considered. Therefore, proper assessment of a patient's OA, the pain it causes, and the proper utilization of tools such as GAD-7 and PHQ-9 to assess anxiety and depression, are imperative for improving function and QoL.

Following a discussion on OA assessment strategies, this CME Outfitters Snack will focus on applying ACR/Arthritis Foundation guidelines and evaluating emerging data to meet unmet needs in the management of OA.
