Objective. There is no study comparing knee and spine osteoarthritis. The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of pain and disability on quality of life (QoL) and the factors affecting QoL in patients with knee osteoarthritis and spondylosis.
Methods. This cross-sectional study included 114 patients with spondylosis and 126 patients with knee osteoarthritis. Demographic data were recorded. The visual analog scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), Roland Morris Questionnaire (RMQ), and the Short Form Health Questionnaire (SF-36) were filled out.
Results. Statistically, patients with spondylosis and knee osteoarthritis did not differ significantly in terms of gender, age, body mass index, number of concomitant conditions, marital status, years of schooling, pain scores, or SF-36 characteristics. SF-36 physical function, vitality, and mental health assessments were lower in women than men, while VAS scores were higher. There was no correlation between marital status, educational level, and QoL subscales. WOMAC and RMQ scores were negatively correlated with the SF-36 subscales. RMS scores were not related to mental health.
Conclusions. Spondylosis and knee osteoarthritis affect all subscales of QoL in the same way. The management of patients with spondylosis and knee osteoarthritis should focus on pain and functionality to improve QoL.
