Wshah A, et al. - Researchers analyzed data from studies reporting the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) in individuals with COPD. These studies were identified via a computer-based literature search of CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO and Embase databases. The prevalence rates of OA among individuals with COPD were calculated as weighted means. The inclusion criteria were met in 14 studies, with a prevalence ranging from 12% to 74% and an overall weighted mean of 35.5%. A high prevalence of OA was reported in individuals with COPD, and when developing and applying interventions in this population, this should be taken into account.
