Protocol - Knee Pain - Past 30 Days
Description
A self-report, three-item series of questions with answer choices for “Yes,” “No,” and “Don’t know.”
Specific Instructions
If question 1 is answered “No” or “Don’t know/Refused,” do not ask questions 1a or 1b. After question number 1, go to 1a and 1b if “Yes.” If the response is “No” to 1a, you should still go to 1b.
The phrase “During the past 30 days, have you had pain,,, “on most days” indicates pain on 15 or more days out of 30. However, a precise number is not needed. This applies to 1a and 1b.
Although the original questions were administered in a telephone interview, it would be better administered during an interview (to reduce confusion on the part of the subject). The PhenX Bone and Joint Working Group suggests that they may be used as self-administered items. For self-administration, the interviewer needs to introduce it and go over the instructions with the subject and allow subject to then complete.
The MOST datasets can only be obtained through the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Biobank. Those wishing to obtain the MOST datasets please go to the NIH Biobank website at: https://agingresearchbiobank.nia.nih.gov/studies/most/

Protocol
1. During the past 30 days, have you had any pain, aching or stiffness in or around either knee?
[ ] 1 Yes (Go to 1a & 1b)
[ ] 0 No
[ ] 8 Don’t know/Refused
1a. During the past 30 days, have you had pain, aching or stiffness in or around your right knee on most days?
[ ] 1 Yes
[ ] 0 No
[ ] 8 Don’t know
1b. During the past 30 days, have you had pain, aching or stiffness in or around your left knee on most days?
[ ] 1 Yes
[ ] 0 No
[ ] 8 Don’t know
Personnel and Training Required
The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews. The interviewer should be trained to prompt respondents further if a “Don’t know” response is provided.
Equipment Needs
None
Requirements
| Requirement Category | Required |
|---|---|
| Major equipment | No |
| Specialized training | No |
| Specialized requirements for biospecimen collection | No |
| Average time of greater than 15 minutes in an unaffected individual | No |
Mode of Administration
Self-administered questionnaire
Lifestage
Adult
Participants
Older Americans, men and women aged 50–79 with knee osteoarthritis or at increased risk of developing it. Some of these could be used in a more general population but may not have the same validity. Many in MOST and the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI) had no knee symptoms and it worked fine there. This set of questions has also been used in Framingham, a community-based cohort of adults aged 30 and over, mostly without knee pain.
Selection Rationale
The Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (MOST) is a longitudinal, prospective, observational study of knee osteoarthritis (OA) with validated, simple questionnaires.
