Sustained Results in Long-Term Follow-Up of Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI) for Distal Femur Juvenile Osteochondritis Dissecans (JOCD)

Table 4

Correlation coefficient analysis of the patients’ outcome scores, lesion size, BMI, and age at ACI implantation.

	Lesion Size	BMI	Age at ACI Implantation
IKDC Total Score	- 0.29	- 0.28	- 0.08
KOOS Symptoms	- 0.51	- 0.51	0.32
KOOS Pain	0.04	- 0.49	- 0.03
KOOS Function, activity of daily living	- 0.02	0.01	- 0.09
KOOS Function, sports and recreational activities	- 0.30	- 0.18	0.23
KOOS Quality of life	- 0.12	- 0.06	0.22
Modified Cincinnati Knee Rating Total Scores	- 0.01	0.40	- 0.36

Values were expressed by correlation coefficient value r. Two variables: moderate to good relationships were found between KOOS symptoms and lesion size (p = .135) and KOOS symptoms and BMI (p = .133), but were nonsignificant.
