  • Incidence and progression of osteoarthritis (OA) in RS-I and RS-II within the follow-up time associated with acenocoumarol use. Model used is a GEE (generalised estimated equations) multivariate logistic regression model including acenocoumarol use and adjusted for age, sex, BMI, smoking, time between baseline and follow-up visit, baseline OA severity in Kellgren-Lawrence score, joint modelled, femoral neck BMD, HDL/total cholesterol ratio, physical activity, education level, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and Rotterdam Study cohort.

  • Progression: number of joints showing overall progression of either hip or knee joints or both. Acenocoumarol usage examined by tertiles: first: ≤180 days, second: >180 and ≤556 days, third: >556 days of acenocoumarol use.

  • *Number of individual knee and/or hip joints studied from RSI and RSII (online supplemental figure S1 for exclusions).

  • †Unadjusted (raw) ORs are reported in online supplemental table S2.

  • BMI, body mass index; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; RS, Rotterdam Study.
