Declarations
:
: EMR and STS are co-founders of GLA:D<sup>®</sup>, a not-for profit initiative hosted at University of Southern Denmark, aimed at implementing clinical guidelines for osteoarthritis in clinical practice. The Danish Physiotherapist Association’s fund for research, education, and practice development; the Danish Rheumatism Association; and the Physiotherapy Practice Foundation supported the start-up phase of GLA:D<sup>®</sup>. STS is currently funded by a program grant from Region Zealand (Exercise First) and two grants from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, one from the European Research Council (MOBILIZE, grant agreement number: 801790) and the other under grant agreement number 945377 (ESCAPE). The funders were not involved in the conduct of the study or the decision to submit the manuscript for publication. EMR is deputy editor of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, the developer of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and several other freely available patient-reported outcome measures. STS is associate editor of the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, has received grants from The Lundbeck Foundation, personal fees from TrustMe-Ed and Munksgaard, all of which are outside the submitted work. The remaining authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.
: Ethics approval of GLA:D<sup>®</sup> was waived by the ethics committee of the North Denmark Region. The GLA:D<sup>®</sup> register and the current analyses have been registered at The Danish Data Protection Agency (registration no.: SDU; 10.084 and SDU; 10.124, respectively). According to the Danish Data Protection Act, patient consent was not required since personal data was processed for research and statistical purposes only.
