  1. aData analysis based on the K-L grade classification. ACR American College of Rheumatology, K-L Kellgren and Lawrence, MJS Minimum hip joint space, JSW minimum joint space width
  2. bHOA can be diagnosed if any of the following items are met: (1) a minimum joint space of ≤ 1.5 mm; (2) an osteophyte of grade 2 or higher in any location and either (a) superolateral joint space narrowing of grade 2 or higher or (b) superomedial joint space narrowing of grade 3 or higher; (3) any 3 or more radiographic features of OA; (4) modified Croft grade ≥ 2; (5) MJS ≤ 1.5 mm; (6) JSN superolaterally grade ≥ 2; (7) superomedially grade ≥ 3; (8) osteophyte score ≥ 2
