Guías y recomendaciones para el diagnóstico y tratamiento de la artrosis: en busca del consenso

A second review of new evidence gathered from January 2006, when the OARSI recommendations were made, until January 2009, showed variations in the range of the effect of the different forms of treatment. Adherence to the recommendations is in general low, and it seems necessary to create strategies to make it easier for professionals to follow the recommendations, as well as to design and conduct clinical trials, which meet a set of minimum parameters, sufficiently specific and sensitive, in order to assess their effect on the disease. Only by regularly updating this knowledge can we help improve our clinical practice, as long as strategies are developed to facilitate adherence to the recommendations from the professionals involved.
