Policy-Induced Conservative Management Prioritization Over Arthroplasty On Knee Osteoarthritis Outcomes

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term effects of a non-surgical management programme in people with osteoarthritis that are eligible for a knee joint replacement surgery to treat their knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The main question it aims to answer is:

- Does the non-surgical management programme reduce the proportion of referred patients who are treated with a knee arthroplasty without reducing the health-related quality of life over a two-year perspective?

Inclusion: A diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis; Referral from primary care to an orthopedic department at a hospital in The Capital Region of Denmark for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.

Exclusion: Referral declined upon initial vetting; Not consenting to sharing data.
