AUSCAN and PRWHE scores were not found to significantly progress at 18-month and 36-month follow-up. However, when comparing the subset of subjects with and without radiographic OA, subjects with early CMC OA who had 1 stage of radiographic progression were found to have a significantly higher intensity of pain on the PRWHE pain subscale at 36-month follow-up.
