The study found that higher WOMAC scores correlate with advanced Kellgren–Lawrence grades, indicating symptomatic severity.
Using receiver operating characteristic analysis, key WOMAC cut-off scores were established for different KL grades across 99 adults.
Cluster analysis identified four distinct phenotypes of knee osteoarthritis, highlighting diverse patient experiences and needs.
The findings support the use of WOMAC as a critical indicator for severity, emphasizing personalized treatment approaches in knee OA.
