Description
In twenty twenty-three, van Scherpenseel, Kloek, Veenhof, and Pisters followed Dutch patients with early knee or hip osteoarthritis for ten years. Osteoarthritis wears down joint cartilage and drives heavy health care use. How patients cope with pain may shape how much care they seek over time.
The study drew eight hundred sixty-one people from the CHECK cohort. At the start, about eighty-seven percent coped actively, facing pain head-on rather than withdrawing. Those patients used about sixteen percent more kinds of health services over the decade than passive copers, after adjustments. The authors suggest care for active copers should lean more on self-management training, aiming to trim service use without losing support.
