RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: The use of well characterized osteoarthritis (OA) cohorts is mandatory for the study and knowledge of this disease. Currently, there is no prospective cohort in this pathology in Spain. The objective of this work is to describe the first osteoarthritis cohort in Spain, PROCOAC (Cohort PROspectiva de A Coruña). METHODS: The Unit of Rheumatology of the University Hospital of A Coruña started a prospective follow-up study in 2006. The patient inclusion criteria were: I) Patients older than 55 years who underwent an abdominal x-ray to study both hips II) Patients diagnosed with radiographic hand OA according to ACR criteria III) Patients diagnosed with radiographic knee or hip OA according to ACR criteria. Follow-up was performed every two years collecting clinical, analytical, genetic and radiographic information. RESULTS: The cohort consists of 937 patients, 873 have radiographic knee OA, 783 hip OA and 679 hand OA. The mean age of the population is 63.9±8.9 years and the average BMI is 29.6±5.1. More than half of the population has high blood pressure and 17% diabetes. The predominant osteoarthritis in the hand is nodular (78.1%), followed by trapeziometacarpal (55.3%) and erosive (18.4%). Twenty-one point four percent and 43.1% are healthy at knee and hip level respectively; observing a grade 1 in 26% and 37%; a grade 2 in 26.7% and 11.5%; a grade 3 in 14.9% and 4%; and a grade 4 in 9.4% and 3.7% respectively. Of the population, 44.1% has only 1 joint affected, 39.9% has 2 and 13.4% has 3 joints affected. Age (OR=1.11; p<.001), BMI (OR=1.11; p=.002) and total WOMAC (OR=1.03; p=.005) are the only risk factors if we compare the involvement of a single location versus three. A discrepancy between pain and radiographic damage at the joint level was also detected in patients with KL≤2 grade, and therefore a significantly higher percentage of patients with knee OA experienced pain (66.1%) compared to patients with OA hip (21.1%) (p<.001). CONCLUSIONS: The PROCOAC cohort is an instrument that allows studies of incidence and progression in hand, knee and hip OA; as well as determining factors that are associated with the different OA phenotypes.

Introducción y objetivo: El uso de cohortes de osteoartritis bien caracterizadas es obligatorio para estudiar y profundizar en el conocimiento en esta enfermedad. En España no existe actualmente ninguna cohorte prospectiva en este ámbito; por ello, el objetivo de este trabajo es describir la primera cohorte de osteoartritis en España: la PROCOAC (PROspective COhort of A Coruña). Material y métodos: El Servicio de Reumatología del Hospital Universitario de La Coruña inició un estudio de seguimiento prospectivo en el año 2006. Los criterios de inclusión fueron: a) pacientes mayores de 55 años a los que se les realizó una radiografía abdominal que permitiese estudiar ambas caderas; b) pacientes diagnosticados de osteoartritis radiográfica de mano según los criterios ACR; c) pacientes diagnosticados de osteoartritis radiográfica de rodilla o cadera según los criterios ACR. Se realizó seguimiento cada 2años y se recogió información clínica, analítica, genética y radiográfica. Resultados: La cohorte consta de 937 individuos; 873 tienen osteoartritis radiográfica de rodilla, 783 de cadera y 679 de mano. La edad media de la población es 63,9±8,9 años y el IMC promedio de 29,6±5,1. Más de la mitad de la población tiene hipertensión arterial y el 17%, diabetes. La osteoartritis predominante en la mano es la nodular (78,1%), seguida de la rizartrosis (55,3%) y la erosiva (18,4%). El 21,4% y el 43,1% tienen sanas la rodilla y la cadera, respectivamente. Se observa un grado 1 en el 26% y 37%; un grado 2 en el 26,7% y 11,5%; un grado 3 en el 14,9% y 4%; y un grado 4 en el 9,4% y 3,7%, respectivamente. El 44,1% de la población tiene una articulación afectada, el 39,9% tiene 2 y el 13,4% tiene las 3 articulaciones afectadas. La edad (OR=1,11; p<0,001), el IMC (OR=1,11; p=0,002) y el WOMAC total (OR=1,03; p=0,005) son los únicos factores de riesgo si comparamos la afectación de una sola ubicación frente a 3.(AU)
