Preferences for physical activity: a conjoint analysis involving people with chronic knee pain.
The goals of this study were to investigate individual preferences for physical activity attributes in adults with chronic knee pain, to identify clusters of individuals with similar preferences, and to identify whether these individuals differ by demographic or health characteristics. Researchers conducted an adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA) using the Potentially All Pairwise RanKings of all possible Alternatives (PAPRIKA) method to determine preference weights representing the relative importance of six physical activity attributes: health benefit, enjoyment, convenience, financial cost, effort, and time cost. The study sample included 146 participants. The authors conclude that patients with chronic knee pain have preferences for physical activities which are effectively distinguished by using ACA methods, and that adults with chronic knee pain, as clustered by their preferences, share distinguishing characteristics.

KOOS pain as a marker for significant knee pain two and six years after primary ACL reconstruction: a Multicenter Orthopaedic Outcomes Network (MOON) prospective longitudinal cohort study.
The researchers applied three different models of Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) thresholds for significant knee pain to an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) cohort to identify prevalence and risk factors. They concluded that significant knee pain is prevalent after ACLR; with those who undergo subsequent ipsilateral surgery at greatest risk.
