Background: Accurately determining the presence and severity of pediatric musculoskeletal infection (MSKI) is crucial for effective triage treatment. Although white blood-cell (WBC) count often used as a marker MSKI, we hypothesized that use WBC limited by age-related variability in children. We proposed absolute neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which has less variability, more reliable indicator both diagnosing assessing MSKI. The present study aims to compare utility against NLR, well...
The current coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has prompted a multitude of public health response measures including social distancing, school cancellations, and cessation organized sports.To examine the impact COVID-19 corresponding on characteristics common pediatric musculoskeletal injuries associated with sports.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.This was multicenter retrospective cohort study comparing patients sports presenting to 3 geographically diverse level I trauma hospitals...
Postdischarge convalescence after traumatic rib fractures remains unclear. We hypothesized that patients with fractures, even as an isolated injury, have associated poor quality of life (QoL) discharge.We prospectively enrolled adult at our level I trauma center between July 2019 and January 2020. assessed QoL 1 3 months discharge using the Trauma-specific Quality-of-Life (T-QoL; 43-question survey evaluating five domains on a 4-point Likert scale, where 4 indicates optimal 1, worst QoL)...
To determine whether market-based pricing could be coupled with surgeon integration into negotiation strategies to achieve lower levels for orthopaedic trauma implants. A secondary aim was identify specific types of implants that may offer larger opportunities cost savings.Market were reviewed from 2 industry implant databases. This information used by surgeons and supply chain management at our institution select appropriate target (25th percentile) commonly Target price values provided the...
Determining body composition via mobile application may circumvent limitations of conventional methods. However, the accuracy many technologies remains unknown. This investigation assessed convergent and concurrent validity a (LS) that employs 2-dimensional digital photography (LS2D) 3-dimensional photonic scanning (LS3D). Measures including circumferences, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), fat percentage (BF%) were obtained from 240 healthy adults using LS diverse set methods—Gulick tape,...
OBJECTIVE: To compare clinical and radiographic outcomes following retrograde intramedullary nailing vs locked plating of “extreme distal” periprosthetic femur fractures, defined as those which contact or extend distal to the anterior flange. METHODS Design: Retrospective review Setting: Eight academic level I trauma centers Patient Selection Criteria: adult patients with fractures at flange (OTA/AO 33B-C[VB1]) treated rIMNs LPs. Outcome Measures Comparisons : The primary outcome was...
Cannabidiol (CBD)-containing supplements are used by children with cerebral palsy (CP), but the prevalence and efficacy of their use have not been studied. We sought to describe CBD patterns perceived in pediatric population CP, evaluating any association between health-related quality life. Patients CP were prospectively enrolled, caregivers offered Caregiver Priorities Child Health Index Life Disabilities (CPCHILD) Questionnaire a survey assessing use. Of 119 participants, 20 (16.8%)...
