Table 3 Association between plasma resolvins, omega-3 fatty acids and OA pain in the Nottingham cohort. The outcome of all regressions is the log-transformed WOMAC pain score (+1). A higher WOMAC score indicates more main. Regressions were first run only in OA patients adjusting for age, sex, BMI and K/L grade. In selected models both 17-HDHA and DHA or total omega 3 were tested for association together, finally association between 17-HDHA and WOMAC scores was tested in the combined case-control group adjusting for OA status in addition to all other covariates.
