PEAK Study: Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Data from a Physiotherapy Trial

394 patients aged over 45 years with knee osteoarthritis pain were randomised to in-person or telerehabilitation physiotherapy. Demographic, baseline, 3-month, and 9-month follow-up data were collected, with primary outcomes focused on changes in knee pain and physical function. The data was published by MACH HeSANDA in a 2024 Lancet paper and is available on figshare.

Use Cases

• Compare the effectiveness of in-person versus telerehabilitation physiotherapy based on the intervention groups described.
• Analyze changes in knee pain and physical function over time based on the 3-month and 9-month follow-up data.
• Model patient outcomes for knee osteoarthritis based on demographic and baseline characteristics.

Strengths

• Data from a randomised controlled trial with 394 patients.
• Includes longitudinal follow-up data at 3-month and 9-month intervals.
• Primary outcomes and methodology are detailed in a peer-reviewed Lancet publication.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal and demographic bias inherent to the specific trial population.
