Impact of prior knee surgery on change in knee pain, quality of life, and walking speed following supervised education and exercise therapy: an analysis of 30,545 people with knee osteoarthritis.

ABSTRACT: To investigate the impact of prior knee surgery on changes in outcomes following an 8-week supervised patient education and exercise therapy program in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Patients were classified according to knee surgery in the most affected knee joint (yes/no) prior to enrolment in the Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D^®) program. Between-group differences in outcome changes from baseline to 3 months follow-up were evaluated using linear regression stratified by sex. Outcomes were knee pain intensity (VAS, 0-100 mm), joint related quality of life (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Quality of Life subscale score (KOOS QOL, 0-100)) and walking speed (40-m fast-paced walk test). To evaluate clinically relevant between-group differences, pro
