Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease which affects joint cartilage.
Almost 80% patients movement are limited and 25% of them can not even perform daily
activities. Due to its chronic and progressive nature, socio-economic impacts in many
developed and developing countries are enormous. We aimed to determine the profile of
patients with osteoarthritis in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Method: This was
an observasional research. Questionnaires data were obtained from September-October
2016. Thirty five subjects with osteoarthritis were analyzed for the study. The variables
observed include sex, age, body mass index, type of osteoarthritis, Kellgren-Lawrence
scoring system, and knee osteoarthritis severity index. Result: The result shows that 43%
of the samples were aged 60-69 years, 83% of the samples were female, 37% of the
samples had an I BMI obesity, 60% of samples had bilateral osteoarthritis, and 77% of
samples from primary osteoarthritis. A total of 15 of 53 knee samples had class III, and 15
of 53 knee samples also had class I, and as many as 21 of the 35 samples had a "very
severe" clinical gradation. These results may be due to patients who have low grade
gradation clinics and have received medical attention at the level I health facility or II.
Conclusion: From the results of this study, it can be concluded that age, sex, BMI,
Kellgren-Lawrence assessment system, index severity of patients Lequesne osteoarthritis in
Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya is in conformity with research that has been done
in many places and theories that exist.
