Comparison of three sets of clinical classification criteria for knee osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study of 13,459 patients treated in primary care While the EULAR and ACR criteria only identified around half of those, with or without self-reported radiographic knee OA, that were treated because of symptoms or functional limitations associated with knee OA, the NICE criteria identified most patients. The results indicate that the NICE criteria are relevant and appropriate to identify individuals treated for knee OA in primary care.
