Erosive osteoarthritis: a more severe form of radiographic hand osteoarthritis rather than a distinct entity?. Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 74(1), 136 - 141. https://doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2013-203948

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether erosive osteoarthritis shares the same pattern of joint involvement and risk profile as increasing grades of non-erosive hand osteoarthritis. METHODS: Participants were from two population-based cohorts, aged =50 year...

Joint protection and hand exercises for hand osteoarthritis: an economic evaluation comparing methods for the analysis of factorial trials (2014)
Journal Article
Oppong, R., Jowett, S., Nicholls, E., Whitehurst, D., Hill, S., Hammond, A., …Dziedzic, K. (2015). Joint protection and hand exercises for hand osteoarthritis: an economic evaluation comparing methods for the analysis of factorial trials. Rheumatology, 54(5), 876 - 883. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/keu389

OBJECTIVES: Evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of joint protection and hand exercises for the management of hand OA is not well established. The primary aim of this study is to assess the cost-effectiveness (cost-utility) of these management o...

Pain trajectory groups in persons with, or at high risk of, knee osteoarthritis: findings from the Knee Clinical Assessment Study and the Osteoarthritis Initiative (2014)
Journal Article
Nicholls, E., Thomas, E., van der Windt, D., Croft, P., & Peat, G. (2014). Pain trajectory groups in persons with, or at high risk of, knee osteoarthritis: findings from the Knee Clinical Assessment Study and the Osteoarthritis Initiative. Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 22(12), 2041 - 2050. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joca.2014.09.026

OBJECTIVE: The authors aimed to characterize distinct trajectories of knee pain in adults who had, or were at high risk of, knee osteoarthritis using data from two population-based cohorts. METHOD: Latent class growth analysis was applied to measures...

A multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, randomised controlled trial to compare the clinical and cost-effectiveness of three physiotherapy-led exercise interventions for knee osteoarthritis in older adults: the BEEP trial protocol (ISRCTN: 93634563). (2014)
Journal Article
Healey, E. L., Holden, M. A., Nicholls, E., Whitehurst, D. G., Foster, N. E., Jowett, S., …Hay, E. M. (2014). A multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, randomised controlled trial to compare the clinical and cost-effectiveness of three physiotherapy-led exercise interventions for knee osteoarthritis in older adults: the BEEP trial protocol (ISRCTN: 93634563). BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 15, Article 254

BACKGROUND: Exercise is consistently recommended for older adults with knee pain related to osteoarthritis. However, the effects from exercise are typically small and short-term, likely linked to insufficient individualisation of the exercise program...
