Summary

This was a prospective cohort study. The study was conducted in the two hospitals after approval by the KNH/UON ethical committee and the board of management of Kikuyu Mission Hospital. Trained data clerks were used for retrieval of data from the respective hospitals with follow-up conducted in the respective clinics and through phone calls. The clerks were not blinded to the study but every data was corroborated by interviewing the patients or their relatives and evaluation of medical data availed as well as clinical status. Both KNH and Kikuyu Mission Hospitals had handwritten patient notes/records at the time of the study (not electronic) with central registries for storage of patient files. The patients files and other medical documents will be available in the wards but upon discharge, stored at the central registries.

The WOMAC scores(assessment of the outcome measures) were conducted by the principal investigator by direct interview of the patients/ their designated next of kin, or via telephone contacts. The outcome measures included pain, stiffness and activities of daily living.
