Mean age was 60.3±8.7 years, mean BMI – 29.2±4.7 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, disease duration – 6 (3–10) years. Grade II OA was documented in 68.4% of patients, Grade III – in 31.6%. The study lasted for 6 months. Efficacy and safety evaluations were made based on VAS pain assessment, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) – [WOMAC pain (0–500), WOMAC function (0–1700), WOMAC stiffness (0–200)], VAS patients’ health status, EQ-5D-based assessment of patients’ quality of life, global physician’s and patient’s efficacy assessment, and daily NSAIDs requirements.</p> <p><bold>Results. </bold>Obtained results demonstrate statistically significant VAS pain reduction during walking already in 1 week after intra-articular injection of the combination [respectively, 62 (55–72) and 41 (32–51) mm, <italic>р</italic>&lt;0.0001]. Moreover, pain continued to subside during all 3 months of follow up [in 1 month – 28 (20–42), in 3 month – 22 (14–37) mm]. A significant pan reduction achieved at Mo 3 persisted until Mo 6 – 20 (14–42) mm, without documented pain increase. Similar trends were observed with total WOMAC score [1125 (899–1540) – at baseline, and 552 (309–837) mm – by the end of the study, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0.0001], and all WOMAC sub-scores [268 (189–312) – baseline WOMAC pain, 91 (48–171) mm – by the end of the study <italic>p</italic>&lt;0.0001; stiffness – 101 (59–130) and 40 (20–61) mm, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0.0001; function – 802 (647–1095) and 402 (191–638) mm, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0.0001, respectively]. Median time to the onset of therapeutic effect was 7 (5–18) days. Statistically significant improvement of patients’ quality of life by EQ-5D and general health status was observed during all follow up period [respectively, 0.52 (-0.02–0.59) and 0.69 (0.59–0.80), <italic>р</italic>&lt;0.0001; 48 (30–60) and 72 (60–80) mm, <italic>р</italic>&lt;0.0001]. One injection of the drug resulted in dose reduction or discontinuation of NSAIDs therapy: at baseline 76 patients (96.2%) were taking NSAIDs, in one week 31 (39.2%) patients discontinued NSAIDs, in 1 month – 72.2%, in 3 months – 73.4%, and by the end of the study at Mo 6 – 54.4% were not taking NSAIDs. These data were consistent with physician’s and patient’s global assessment of the efficacy of treatment, who stated “significant improvement” and “improvement” in the majority of cases, with only few “no effect” or “worsening” cases documented in analyzed population. Adverse events, such as worsening of pain and/or swelling of the joint, were documented in 8 patients (10.1%); they resolved spontaneously or following NSAIDs intake.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion. </bold>These results suggest that intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid plus chondroitin sulfate in patients with knee OA are efficient and safe. A single injection of the drug resulted in statistically significant reduction of pain and stiffness, reduction in NSAIDs intake, as well as improvement in patients’ quality of life and function.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Цель. </bold>В многоцентровом проспективном исследовании оценить эффективность и безопасность однократного внутрисуставного введения препарата Гиалуром СS (комбинация гиалуроната натрия 60 мг/3 мл и хондроитина сульфата натрия 90 мг/3 мл) у пациентов с остеоартритом (ОА) коленных суставов.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы. </bold>В исследование включены 79 пациентов (преимущественно женщины – 81,0%) из 5 субъектов Российской Федерации с первичным тибиофеморальным ОА коленных суставов II–III стадии по Келлгрену–Лоуренсу, с интенсивностью боли при ходьбе не менее 40 мм по визуальной аналоговой шкале (ВАШ). Средний возраст больных составил 60,3±8,7 года, средний индекс массы тела – 29,2±4,7 кг/м<sup>2</sup>, продолжительность болезни – 6 (3–10) лет. Вторая стадия ОА коленных суставов выявлялась у 68,4% пациентов и III – у 31,6%. Длительность исследования – 6 мес. Оценка эффективности и безопасности лечения проводилась по динамике боли по ВАШ, индексу WOMAC, состояния здоровья пациента по ВАШ, качества жизни по опроснику EQ-5D, оценки эффективности терапии врачом и пациентом, суточной потребности в нестероидных противовоспалительных препаратах (НПВП).</p> <p><bold>Результаты. </bold>Через 1 нед после внутрисуставного введения препарата у пациентов отмечено статистически значимое снижение боли в коленных суставах при ходьбе по ВАШ, соответственно 62 (55–72) и 41 (32–51) мм, <italic>р</italic>&lt;0,0001. Дальнейшее значимое уменьшение боли наблюдалось на протяжении всего 3-месячного периода наблюдения: через 1 мес – 28 (20–42) и 3 мес – 22 (14–37) мм. К 6-му месяцу боль не нарастала и составляла 20 (14–42) мм. Идентичная закономерность выявлена и при оценке как суммарного индекса WOMAC [в начале исследования – 1125 (899–1540), в конце – 552 (309–837) мм, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0,0001], так и всех его составляющих [боль в начале исследования – 268 (189–312), в конце – 91 (48–171) мм, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0,0001; скованность – 101 (59–130) и 40 (20–61) мм, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0,0001; функциональная недостаточность – 802 (647–1095) и 402 (191–638) мм, <italic>p</italic>&lt;0,0001, соответственно]. Медиана времени наступления эффекта составила 7 (5–18) дней. Статистически значимое улучшение качества жизни по EQ-5D и общего состояния здоровья тоже отмечено на протяжении всего периода наблюдения [соответственно 0,52 (-0,02–0,59) и 0,69 (0,59–0,80), <italic>р</italic>&lt;0,0001; 48 (30–60) и 72 (60–80) мм, <italic>р</italic>&lt;0,0001]. На фоне терапии снизилась потребность в приеме НПВП: в начале исследования 76 человек принимали НПВП (96,2%), через 1 нед 31 пациент полностью отказался от приема НПВП (39,2%), через 1 мес – 72,2%, через 3 мес – 73,4%, через 6 мес – 54,4%. При оценке эффективности лечения, проводимого пациентом и врачом, «значительное улучшение» и «улучшение» отмечены в большинстве случаев. Неблагоприятные явления выявлены у 8 (10,1%) пациентов, явления связаны с усилением боли и/или появлением припухлости коленного сустава и купировались самостоятельно или на фоне приема НПВП.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Полученные данные свидетельствуют о хорошем и длительном симптоматическом эффекте препарата Гиалуром СS. На фоне терапии у пациентов статистически значимо снижались боль, скованность, потребность в НПВП, улучшались качество жизни и функция суставов. Исследование показало, что препарат обладает хорошим профилем безопасности и может быть рекомендован для использования в широкой клинической практике.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>knee osteoarthritis</kwd><kwd>hyaluronic acid</kwd><kwd>chondroitin sulfate</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>остеоартрит коленных суставов</kwd><kwd>гиалуроновая кислота</kwd><kwd>хондроитин сульфат</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Cross M, Smith E, Hoy D, et al.
