Development and evaluation of nomograms for predicting osteoarthritis progression based on MRI cartilage parameters: data from the FNIH OA biomarkers Consortium

Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide. However, the existing methods for evaluating OA patients do not provide enough comprehensive information to make reliable predictions of OA progression. This retrospective study aimed to develop prediction nomograms...

description Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide. However, the existing methods for evaluating OA patients do not provide enough comprehensive information to make reliable predictions of OA progression. This retrospective study aimed to develop prediction nomograms based on MRI cartilage that can predict disease progression of OA. Methods A total of 600 subjects with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis from the Foundation for National Institute of Health (FNIH) project of osteoarthritis initiative (OAI). The MRI cartilage parameters of the knee at baseline were measured, and the changes in cartilage parameters at 12- and 24-month follow-up were calculated. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to extract the valuable characteristic parameters at different time points including cartilage thickness, cartilage volume, subchondral bone exposure area and uniform cartilage thickness in different sub regions of the knee, and the MRI cartilage parameters score0, scoreΔ12, and scoreΔ24 at baseline, 12 months, and 24 months were constructed. ScoreΔ12, and scoreΔ24 represent changes between 12 M vs. baseline, and 24 M vs. baseline, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was used to construct the nomogram0, nomogramΔ12, and nomogramΔ24, including MRI-based score and risk factors. The area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the differentiation of nomograms in disease progression and subgroup analysis. The calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test were used to verify the calibration of the nomograms. Clinical usefulness of each prediction nomogram was verified by decision curve analysis (DCA). The nomograms with predictive efficacy were analyzed by secondary analysis. Internal verification was assessed using bootstrapping validation. Results Each nomogram included cartilage score, KL grade, WOMAC pain score, WOMAC disability score, and minimum joint space width. The AUC of nomogram0, nomogramΔ12, and nomogramΔ24 in predicing the progression of radiology and pain were 0.69, 0.64, and 0.71, respectively. All three nomograms had good calibration. Analysis by DCA showed that the clinical effectiveness of nomogramΔ24 was higher than others. Secondary analysis showed that nomogram0 and nomogramΔ24 were more capable of predicting OA radiologic progression than pain progression. Conclusion Nomograms based on MRI cartilage change were useful for predicting the progression of mild to moderate OA.
