Why the study?
Does standing position compared to supine position affect joint space width measurements on pelvic radiographs in adults with and without hip osteoarthritis?
Cross-Sectional
Single-blind
No
Does standing position compared to supine position affect joint space width measurements on pelvic radiographs in adults with and without hip osteoarthritis?
Effect estimate: Mean difference 0.08 mm (non-OA) and 0.02 mm (OA) (95% CI 0.02 to -0.14 (non-OA) and -0.07 to -0.11 (OA))
Standing and supine pelvic radiographs provide concordant measurements of hip joint space width, with differences smaller than typical radiological progression of osteoarthritis.

Harmsen et al. (1971) conducted a cross-sectional in Hip osteoarthritis. Standing position for pelvic radiographs vs. Supine position was evaluated on Agreement of joint space width (JSW) between standing and supine views (Mean difference 0.08 mm (non-OA) and 0.02 mm (OA), 95% CI 0.02 to -0.14 (non-OA) and -0.07 to -0.11 (OA)).
