61名有症状的膝关节骨关节炎女性被给予意大利版本的关节炎影响测量量表，通过析因分析显示出良好的结构。残疾指数，然后与体重指数，解剖/放射学损伤，疼痛的严重程度评估通过麦吉尔疼痛问卷或视觉模拟量表，最后的焦虑和抑郁的程度，从Zung抑郁和焦虑量表得分。影像学损害与体重之间存在统计学显著相关性，而残疾与患者的心理参与程度和年龄相关。通过逐步多元回归分析，我们表明，疼痛的经验和残疾评分的强烈影响的心理影响。我们的数据可能具有重要的治疗意义。
Sixty-one women with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis were given the Italian version of Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale which showed a good construct through the factorial analysis. The disability index was then related to the body mass index, the anatomical/radiographic damage, to the severity of pain assessed either through the McGill Pain Questionnaire or a visual analog scale, and finally to the degree of anxiety and depression as obtained from the Zung depression and anxiety inventory scores. A statistically significant relationship was found between radiographic damage and body weight, while disability correlated with the degree of psychological involvement and with the age of the patients. Through the stepwise multiple regression analysis we demonstrated that the pain experience and disability scores are strongly influenced by psychological impact. Our data may have important therapeutic implications.
