Clinical/Research Interests

Dr. Wise’s main area of research is the epidemiologic study of risk factors for osteoarthritis and for joint replacement. This subject area is of particular importance in medicine as osteoarthritis is the major cause of disability in the elderly, engenders a significant of proportion of US health care costs, particularly due to joint replacement, and is an important cause of suffering for patients.

Dr. Wise has a paper in the American Journal of Medicine which demonstrates that tendon rupture and Achilles tendonitis in association with fluoroquinolone use occurs more frequently in the elderly, the non-obese, and concurrent glucocorticoid users, and possibly in women. This represents an important contribution to clinicians’ ability to risk stratify when considering using this class of antibiotics.

Another publication in Journal of Rheumatology, uses the Multicenter OA Study (MOST) cohort to examine a dimension of pain different from severity, termed consistency of pain, and its relationship to risk of incident total knee replacement. In this paper Dr. Wise demonstrates that consistency of pain does increase risk of total knee replacement independent of other known risk factors, including severity of knee pain.

Dr. Wise has presented his research in many venues, both within the United States and internationally. He has given invited lectureships at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation and at the Annual Arthritis Foundation Rheumatology Symposium on Common Rheumatic Diseases. Dr. Wise has also given oral presentations to international audiences at American College of Rheumatology Annual Meetings, the annual Women’s Health Symposium in Washington, DC, and elsewhere. He has also had poster presentations at the Osteoarthritis Research Society International World Congress, American College of Rheumatology Annual Conference, the European League Against Rheumatism Annual European Congress, and elsewhere.
