We investigated whether the severity of Osteoarthritis (OA) knees can be predicted based on a set of predefined clinical questions (PCQs) about activities of daily living (ADL). We studied the association of demographic factors and advanced radiographic OA (KL 3 and 4) and the relationship between various physical activities and radiographic involvement of knee joint compartments based on PCQs.
