An automated workflow based on hip shape improves personalized risk prediction for hip osteoarthritis in the CHECK study

ObjectiveTo design an automated workflow for hip radiographs focused on joint shape and tests its prognostic value for future hip osteoarthritis.DesignWe used baseline and 8-year follow-up data from 1,002 participants of the CHECK-study. The primary outcome was definite radiographic hip osteoarthritis (rHOA) (Kellgren–Lawrence grade ≥2 or joint replacement) at 8-year follow-up. We designed a method to automatically segment the hip joint from...
