There is, however, little literature correlating signs of localized inflammation with contrast\u2010enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of synovium.

In this cross\u2010sectional substudy, associations between validated MRI\u2010based semiquantitative synovial scores of the knee and the following markers of inflammation were investigated: self\u2010reported pain and stiffness, effusion, warmth, joint line tenderness, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, radiographic severity, and functional ability tests.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 107 patients satisfied the inclusion criteria of complete data and were included in the analysis. Significant associations were found between the number of regions affected by synovitis and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain, effusion, and joint line tenderness. Each additional region affected by synovitis was associated with an increase in WOMAC pain (1.82 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.05, 3.58], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.04), and the association with extent of medial synovitis was particularly strong (3.21 [95% CI 0.43, 5.99], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.02). Extent of synovitis was positively associated with effusion (odds ratio 1.69 [95% CI 1.37, 2.08], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01) and negatively associated with joint line tenderness (relative risk 0.87 [95% CI 0.84, 0.90], <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.01).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>There is a strong positive association between synovitis and self\u2010reported patient pain and clinically detectable effusion.
