Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) for predicting a patient with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who does not relieve pain by physical therapy. We quantified in advance the degree of depression, self-efficacy, and pain catastrophizing in patients who started or received physical therapy. I searched for rules to predict pain relief 1, 3, and 5 months later. As a result of analyzing the data obtained by the longitudinal study, we found a rule that can predict the pain relief with high accuracy. However, high validity of the rule was not indicated. In future it is necessary to correct the CPR and verify whether it will be useful in the clinical setting.
