Inflammatory burden index: associations between osteoarthritis and all-cause mortality among individuals with osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The newly described inflammatory burden index (IBI) reflects a patient's inflammatory burden. This study aimed to estimate the association between IBI, osteoarthritis (OA), and all-cause mortality in patients with OA.

Methods

We extracted the data of adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database between 1999 and 2018. After using appropriate survey weights to correct for sample bias, we conducted multivariate logistic regression analyses to explore the association between IBI and OA across three models: in the unadjusted model, partially adjusted model (adjusting age, sex, race, education level, marital status, PIR, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, stroke, CVD, DM, and hypertension) and fully adjusted model (which included addition
