Does cartilage volume measurement or radiographic osteoarthritis at baseline independently predict ten-year cartilage volume loss?

Table 2 Association between baseline cartilage volume and cartilage volume loss over 10 years

	Unadjusted	Adjusted^a
Baseline cartilage volume (site)	β (95 % CI)	β (95 % CI)
Medial (tibiofemoral) cartilage volume loss (absolute)
Medial tibiofemoral (per SD)	−265 (−337,−194)	−300 (−399,−200)
Lateral (tibiofemoral) cartilage volume loss (absolute)
Lateral tibiofemoral (per SD)	−226 (−303,−148)	−338 (−443,−233)

^aAdjusted for age, sex, BMI, offspring-control status, ROA at baseline, meniscal tears at visit-2 and meniscal extrusion at baseline where appropriate
