Description
Summary:Objective To evaluate the effect of cholecystectomy on the occurrence of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods The present study was a case‐control study with a retrospective, cross‐sectional, and longitudinal study design. The clinical data for knee osteoarthritis in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2016 to September 2018 was analyzed. Clinical data, including gender, age, height, weight, smoking, alcohol abuse, prior medical history, and previous surgical history, were recorded. A logistic regression model was used for the univariate and multivariate analysis. Results A total of 1659 patients with KOA (KOA group) and 1195 limb fracture patients (control group) were included in this study. Among the 1659 patients with KOA, 388 patients were male and 1271 were female, while among the 1195 patients in the control group, 638 patients were male and 557 patients were female. The period between cholecystectomy and knee osteoarthritis onset ranged from 0.5 years to 17 years; the average interval time was 8.73 ± 2.11 years. The age at disease onset was significantly older when compared to the control group, while the body mass index in the KOA group was significantly higher when compared to the control group (P
