Patients have been randomly categorized into each and every group of intra-articular injection. The group allocation was as follows: 52 patients in PRP, 51 in PRGF, 49 in HA, and 48 inside the ozone group. Demographic information and patient history has been shown in Table 1, in which no important difference was observed amongst the 4 groups (P 0.05). To evaluate the responses on the knee OA patients to the distinct remedy modalities, we performed intra and inter-group assays according to the information obtained by using WOMAC, VAS, and Lequesne scores in the beginning with the study too as two, six, and 12 months just after injections (Tables 2, 3, and Figs. 2, 3 and 4). The major outcome measure was the discomfort relief and functional improvement determined by the WOMAC score also as the improvement within the Lequesne total score and sub-scores like discomfort, ADL and MWD. The secondary outcome measure was the patients’ consent and side effects associated to the injections. Of note, we regarded as 30 reductions in WOMAC and VAS as worthwhile therapy effects.PRP (n = 52) 56.09 six.0 13/39 27.41 two.6 4.44 2.3 22/30 26/26 29 (55.8) 22 (44.three) two.80 two.PRGF (n = 51) 56.07 6.three 14/37 27.50 two.1 four.9 2.7 18/33 28/23 36 (70.6) 25 (49.0) three.07 2.HA (n = 49) 57.91 six.7 12/37 27.46 two.2 3.86 1.six 28/21 27/22 26 (53.1) 24 (49.0) 1.81 1.Ozone (n = 48) 57.60 6.1 12/36 27.01 1.9 4.42 two.1 25/23 27/21 28 (42.3) 21 (58.3) 1.95 1.7.92 1.7.90 1.8.22 1.8.ten 1.9.69 1.three 30.19 6.four two.84 1.1 42.73 7.9.72 1.7 30.54 7.6 two.84 1.6 43.11 9.9.44 1.six 31.02 eight.8 2.71 1.1 42.75 11.9.29 1.8 31.00 six.1 2.50 1.1 42.79 8.five.17 1.0 1.65 0.6 five.75 0.six 12.58 1.five.13 1.1 1.66 0.eight five.71 0.7 12.62 2.five.55 0.9 1.71 0.9 five.70 0.eight 12.76 two.five.41 1.0 1.56 0.7 5.67 0.7 12.65 two.Abbreviations: SD standard deviation; PRGF plasma wealthy in development issue; PRP platelet-rich plasma; HA hyaluronic acid; VAS visual analog scale; WOMAC Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index; LEQ Lequesne IndexRaeissadat et al.
