Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Self-reported pain and disease specific physical function were assessed by using the pain and functioning subscales of the WOMAC 2. Self-reported generic physical function was assessed by using the physical function score of the Finnish-validated SF-36 (36-item) Health Survey 3. Economic effectiveness was assessed by evaluating the number of doctor visits (associated with hip OA) and physiotherapy (sum score of using physiotherapy including exercise programme and/or inpatient rehabilitation associated with hip OA). The need of surgery (total hip replacement) and drug use (non-opioid analgesic (paracetamol, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs]) and weak opioid (tramadol, codeine) concerning hip OA were also assessed. Assesssed at the following timepoints: 0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
