Osteoarthritis Flashcards
What is the most common joint disease
Osteoarthiritis
Which joints are most susceptible to osteoarthritis
weight bearing joints - hips and knees
What causes osteoarthritis
when breakdown of cartilage is greater than resynthesis due to destruction of proteoglycans, bone spurs and inflammation form
Risk factors for osteoarthritis
increasing age obesity occupation/sports with repetitive motion trauma genetics
primary osteoarthritis cause
idiopathic
how many sites for localized osteoarthritis
1-2 sites
how many sites for generalized osteoarthritis
3+ sites
What is erosive osteoarthritis
erosion and proliferation of interphalangeal joints of the hands
What is secondary osteoarthritis
osteoarthritis with a known cause
symptoms of osteoarthritis
pain w/ or w/o motion
stiffness in joints (hand, knee, hip) that resolves with motion and occurs after rest (gelling) typically <30 minutes
instability of weight bearing joints
limitations of activities of daily living
Signs of osteoarthritis
asymmetrical joint involvement bouchard's or heberden nodes abnormal alignment of joints crepitus (crackling of joints) limited ROM localized tenderness
heberden’s nodes are where
most distal joint of fingers
bouchard’s nodes are where
middle joint of fingers
goals of therapy for osteoarthritis
education control pain and relief stiffness maintain or improve joint mobility limit functional impairment maintain or improve QOL
Non-pharm therapy for osteoarthritis
patient education
PT/OT
weight loss
low impact, aerobic, and aquatic exercise
warm baths and thermal agents
support braces, orthotics, and assistive devices
surgery
APAP dosing for osteoarthritis
325-650 mg Q4-6H
First line therapy for all osteoarthritis
APAP
NSAIDs MOA
inhibits prostaglandin synthesis through COX 1 and 2 inhibition
COX-2 Inhibitors MOA
Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis through COX 2 inhibition
Ibuprofen dose in osteoarthritis
1200-3200 mg/day in 3-4 divided doses
Naproxen dose in osteoarthritis
275-550 mg BID (max 1375 mg/day)
Watch celecoxib with what allergies
sulfonamide
Celecoxib brand name
celebrex
celecoxib dose in osteoarthritis
100 mg BID or 200 mg QD (max 200 mg/day)
AEs with Nsaids and Cox -2 Inhibitors common
hyperkalemia HTN edema weight gain CNS effects (drowsiness, dizziness, HA) upset stomach dyspepsia
Avoid NSAIDs in which pt populations
HTN and heart failure
Serious AEs with NSAIDs/Cox 2 Inhibitors
Acute Kidney Injury
GI ulceration/perforations, GI bleed (greater with NSAIDS)
Inhibition of platelet aggregation (greater with Cox 2)
High risk populations for AKI with NSAIDS/COX 2
Chronic NSAID use Dual NSAID use Dehydration Volume or sodium depletion Ascites/liver failure CHF Age 70+ Use of diuretics, ACEi, cyclosporine, aminoglycosides CKD, nephrotic syndrome
Risk factors for a GI bleed/ulcer with NSAIDS/Cox 2
high dose NSAID multiple NSAIDs AGe 70 + corticosteroids, anticoagulants Hx of ulcer/upper GI bleed
Treatment of OA for pts with high CV risk and High GI risk
Naproxen + PPI
