Brief Summary

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease that lacks curative therapy. Epidemiological studies show increase in the burden of disease. Total joint arthroplasty is one of the best treatment options for end-stage osteoarthritis. However, the specific effects of total joint arthroplasty on cardiovascular risk and metabolic profile are largely unknown. The aim of this project is to elucidate how hip and knee total joint arthroplasty impacts cardiovascular risk and metabolomic profile in comparison with general population. We hypothesize that arthroplasty decreases pain, systemic inflammation levels and increases functional status that all lead to decreased metabolic and cardiovascular risk.

Cases

Patients with end-stage osteoarthritis (OA), who were eligible for total joint arthroplasty in Tartu University Hospital. Exclusion criteria: posttraumatic OA, infectious or endocrine arthropathy, acute or chronic inflammatory disease, malignancies, end-stage renal impairment (eGFR \< 60ml/min/1.73m2), dysrhythmias, clinically relevant heart failure, heart valve-disease, diabetes.

Procedure: Total joint arthroplasty

Controls

Gender and age matched control group, who is recruited from the general practitioner (GP) list and who are from the same geographical regions as the cases. Excluding criteria: acute or chronic inflammatory disease, GP visitation due to hip or knee problems, persistent knee or hip pain, diabetes, symptomatic coronary disease, dysrhythmias, cerebrovascular or peripheral artery disease, malignancy or renal impairment.

Interventions

Hip or knee total joint arthroplasty

Patients with primary osteoarthritis

You may qualify if:

  • primary hip and knee OA (according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria) eligible for total joint arthroplasty

You may not qualify if:

  • posttraumatic OA, infectious and endocrine related arthropathy, any acute or chronic inflammatory disease, malignancy, renal insufficiency (estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \< 60ml/min/1.73m2), cardiac arrhythmia, clinically significant heart failure, valvular disease, diabetes.
  • any concomitant acute or chronic inflammatory disease, a visit to family practitioner due to hip or knee joint complaints, any persistent knee or hip joint pain, diabetes, symptomatic coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmia, cerebrovascular or peripheral artery disease, malignancies and renal insufficiency.
