Meanings of symptomatic oa in English

The symmetrical pattern of symptomatic OA was more apparent in women than in men.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrates that symptomatic OA often affects multiple hand joints, and is more likely to cluster by row than by ray.

We assessed clustering of symptomatic OA using a chi(2)-test and evaluated the interrelationship of occurrence of symptomatic OA among different joints with generalized estimating equations.
