Oof 😓. 🇦🇺 AUS health demographics often parallels Canada 🇨🇦… not so great outlook. Intl. #osteoarthritis research community: let’s go! 📈
Out now in @TheLancetRheum - our new arthritis projections for Australia @ArthritisAust @Monash_SPHPM @RachelleBuchbin @danielleberko ➡️ 3.11 million people living with OA by 2040 ➡️ almost $10 billion of health system expenditure for OA by 2040

Well said @ronjune2 this is helpful insight
Wanted to add a bit about this paper...I learned a ton! First, there is some very good OA biomarker work out there, led by the Krauss Lab at Duke. Also, almost 50% of the papers were papermill crap. Written with/exclusively by AI using public data and not contributing...

Should we be striving to prevent STD (synovial tissue damage) in #osteoarthritis trials? 📣
Interesting findings in this month's @OACJournal 🚨 Worse histopathological scores for synovial tissue damage is associated with more pain in late-stage knee OA ➡️ Free to read https://t.co/pERWH1qV4k

Inflammation is bad. What if synovial tissue damage is even worse? In our new study, @HollyPhilpott14 and the #WOREO team discover a link between synovial tissue damage and worse OA pain. @WOBL_Western @westernuBJI @WesternU

Can’t wait to moderate a session on early OA at #OARSI2024 with a stellar group of other early career investigators. Anticipating a lively exchange of insights on prevention and early OA. Eager for the dynamic dialogue that will undoubtedly spark innovative ideas in OA research!
