The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT)\u2013Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) criteria were used to assess response to therapy in the short term (within 2 weeks). Among those who initially responded, those whose pain had not returned to within 20% of the baseline Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score pain score at 6 months were characterized as longer-term responders. Log-binomial regression was used to examine factors associated with outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred ninety-nine participants were included, of whom 146 (73.4%) were short-term and 40 (20.1%) longer-term responders. Compared to short-term nonresponders, participants with these characteristics were more likely to be short-term responders: medial joint line tenderness [relative risk (RR) 1.42, 95% CI 1.10\u20131.82], medial and lateral joint line tenderness (RR 1.38, 95% CI 1.03\u20131.84), patellofemoral tenderness (RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.04\u20131.55), anserine tenderness (RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.06\u20131.52), and a belief that treatment would be effective [RR\/unit increase (range 0\u201310) = 1.05 (1.01\u20131.09)]. Aspiration of joint fluid (RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.66\u20130.95) and previous ligament\/meniscus injury (RR 0.63, 95% CI 0.44\u20130.91) were associated with a reduced risk of being a short-term responder. Compared to initial nonresponders and those whose pain recurred within 6 months, participants with a higher number of pain sites [RR\/unit increase (range 0\u201310) = 0.83, 95% CI 0.72\u20130.97], chronic widespread pain (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.10\u20130.98), perceived chronicity of disease [RR\/unit increase (range 0\u201310) = 0.86, 95% CI 0.78\u20130.94], and a higher depression score [RR\/unit increase (range 0\u201321) = 0.89, 95% CI 0.81\u20130.99] were less likely to be longer-term responders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among patients with symptomatic knee OA, tenderness around the knee was associated with better short-term outcome of IASI.
