Research Article: Could sex-specific subtypes of hand osteoarthritis exist? A retrospective study in women presenting to secondary care
Abstract:
Introduction: Hand osteoarthritis is more common in women, and its risk increases around the time of the menopause. We set out to describe the timing between menopause and the onset of symptomatic hand osteoarthritis (OA), and associations with the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or its discontinuation, describing any identifiable subgroups of women.
