OBJECTIVE: To examine the rate of joint space width (JSW) loss in both knees of patients with unilateral medial joint space narrowing (JSN) at baseline. METHODS: Cases were selected from a pool of 2,678 subjects enrolled in the Osteoarthritis Initiative cohort. Inclusion criteria for the present study were unilateral medial JSN, bilateral frequent knee pain, and body mass index (BMI) > or = 25 kg/m(2). Baseline and 1-year fixed flexion radiographs of both knees were read (blinded to time point) using an automated algorithm for minimum JSW and JSW at 4 fixed locations in the medial compartment. RESULTS: Sixty-seven participants met the inclusion criteria: 43 women and 24 men, with mean +/- SD age 60 +/- 9 years and mean +/- SD BMI 31 +/- 4 kg/m(2). Thirty-seven subjects (55%) had > or = 1 definite tibiofemoral osteophyte. The average progression in no-JSN knees was comparable with that in JSN knees (approximately -0.2 mm/year). However, JSW change was more variable in no-JSN knees, resulting in standardized response means (SRMs; the mean/SD) of approximately -0.24 in no-JSN knees versus approximately -0.41 in JSN knees on average at the 4 fixed locations, and SRMs of -0.24 and -0.35, respectively, for minimum JSW. Young age and high BMI were associated with increased progression, especially in JSN knees. CONCLUSION: JSN and no-JSN knees progressed at a comparable rate, but a wider distribution of JSW change in no-JSN knees resulted in a poorer sensitivity to change in these knees.
