Abstract

Nowadays osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disease and a major cause of pain and disability in elderly and senile patients. Irrational therapy of OA on the basis of comorbidity leads to increase in the number of adverse events and aggravation of the course of concomitant diseases.

Aims of the research: main is to evaluate the safety of a bioactive concentrate of small marine fish (BCSMF) in senile patients with knee osteoarthritis and high comorbidity; additional one – to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy during the observation period.

Material and methods. 20 patients with OA of the knee joint, whose mean age was 77,6 (75,8; 80,5) years old were involved in the study. They received injections of BCSMF daily, 1 ml intramuscularly, in courses of 20 days with a 6-month interval (2 courses in total). The effectiveness of therapy was assessed by VAS and the WOMAC index, the safety of the drug was assessed based on clinical and laboratory parameters throughout the total observation period.

Results. Elderly patients with OA of knee joint showed a high level of comorbidity – about 5,4+0,8 diseases. By the end of the first course of therapy with BCSMF, a statistically significant decrease in the total WOMAC index and a significant decrease in pain according to VAS were found. Positive dynamics preserved throughout the total observation period. Serious adverse events and clinically significant changes in laboratory parameters were not detected during the total period of observation.

Conclusion. The results of the study demonstrate the effectiveness of BCSMF in patients with knee joint OA and confirm the safety of its use in senile patients with high comorbidity, which allows it to be considered as a first-line drug in the complex treatment of OA.
