In all patient we collect the history of cardiovascular disease.
We have defined two groups according to grouping of none, 1 or 2 cardiovascular risk factors or 3 or more.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in hand or knee osteoarthritis patients | one month | We analyze the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a cohort of knne osteoarthritis and in a cohort of hand osteoarthritis. Then we evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a cohort of soft tissue disease patients. Finally we compare osteoarthritis patients with soft tissue disease patients. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prevalence of cardiovascular disease in hand or knee osteoarthritis. | one month | We evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular disease in the three cohorts, hand osteoarthritis, knee osteoarthritis and soft tissue disease; and we compare them. |
