METHODS: We used multinomial and binary logistic regression models to compare whether the population with NDH at different stag…

OBJECTIVES: We used a Markov model to calculate lifetime costs of knee OA treatment. We then used the model results to compute costs of disparities in treatment by race, ethnicity, sex, and socioeconomic status. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used the literature to constru…

By definition, anticipating potential issues t…
