OBJECTIVE: To determine factors that correlate with recommendations for nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic interventions (comprehensive therapy) in community dwelling adults. METHODS: Eligible participants were >/= 55 years of age with hip and knee arthritis symptoms and disability. Comprehensive therapy was classified as a recommendation for exercise and weight loss (if required) and any pharmacotherapy. RESULTS: Only one-half of participants received a recommendation for comprehensive therapy. Participants who had seen a specialist and a therapist were almost twice as likely to receive a recommendation for comprehensive therapy. CONCLUSION: In our setting, many people with hip or knee arthritis were not receiving even minimum recommended treatment. Changes in educational and organizational policies are needed to address this situation. |
