Four-year follow-up of patients with hand osteoarthritis found that the course of pain was variable. Changes in pain were associated with BMI, employment status, mental wellbeing, illness perceptions, and coping styles

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
