Abstrakt:	Objective: To investigate changes in analgesic use before and after participation in a digital first-line treatment program (exercise, patient education) in persons with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) and to explore associations between these changes in medication use and participant-reported pain and function. Design: Retrospective cohort study with pre-post measures. Setting: Community setting. Participants: Individuals (N=4100; mean age ± SD, 64.5±9.3y; 73.3% women) participating in the digital program. Interventions: A digital supervised education and exercise therapy. Main Outcome Measures: Self-reported analgesic use for knee/hip pain during the past month at baseline and 12-week follow-up, knee/hip numeric rating scale pain (0-10, a higher value indicating more pain), and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score 12 or Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score 12 function subscale (0-100, higher values indicating better function). McNemar test, multivariable logistic regression, and linear random intercept model were used for statistical analyses. Results: Among participants, 61.4% and 49.4% were analgesic users at baseline and 12-week follow-up, respectively, (absolute reduction 12.0%; 95% confidence interval, 10.5-13.5). Being female, having hip OA, lower education, higher body mass index, living outside large metropolitan cities, coexisting rheumatoid arthritis, and walking difficulties were associated with higher odds of analgesic use at baseline. At both time points, persons not using analgesics at the time reported better outcomes. All groups but "new users" experienced improvements in their pain and function following participation in digital program with the greatest improvements observed among "quitters." Conclusions: Engaging in a digital exercise and patient education program as a primary treatment for knee or hip OA was associated with a reduction in the use of analgesics. The greatest improvements were seen for those who stopped analgesic use. These results highlight the importance of providing effective first-line treatment to people with knee or hip OA.
