The purpose of the study is to evaluate an algorithm to screen patients with suspected knee osteoarthritis referred to an orthopedic outpatient clinic by using radiographs and patient-reported symptoms. It will be investigated whether the algorithm is able to identify which patients that are deemed relevant to undergo an orthopedic assessment. This will be evaluated by estimating the sensitivity of the new algorithm compared to with the traditional clinical assessment of the patients.
Further description is provided as eligibility criteria and outcome measures.
