Background and purpose — During recent years, spine surgery techniques have advanced, the population has become older, multiple high-quality randomized controlled trials that support surgical treatment for degenerative spinal stenosis spondylolisthesis been published. We assess incidence trends in fusion decompression Finland between 1997 2018.Patients methods used nationwide data from Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register. The study covered all patients aged 20 years or over (5.5...
Abstract Background While many publications have outlined good practice recommendations for translation and electronic implementation of clinical outcome assessments (COAs), they are often treated as independent processes. The scientific literature currently lacks recommended guidelines on the process concurrent translation, cultural adaptation COAs research. In response to this need, ISOQOL Translation Cultural Adaptation Special Interest Group (TCA-SIG) sought identify actionable steps...
Background and purpose: Information on metastatic spine disease (MSD) based nationwide data trends postoperative survival is limited but needed to optimize treatment in this population. We aimed assess the incidence of rates after MSD surgery.Methods: This retrospective register-based study combined from Finnish Cancer Registry, Care Register for Health Care, Cause Death 1997 2020. Surgeries were identified using diagnosis procedural codes, with primary pathologies excluded. Incidence...
Plastic surgery to improve chest appearance is becoming increasingly popular. The BODY-Q a patient-reported outcome instrument designed for weight loss and/or body contouring. In this article, the authors describe development of new module masculinizing contouring surgery.Qualitative methods were used develop Chest Module, which was subsequently field-tested in Canada, United States, Netherlands, and Denmark between June 2016 2017. Participants aged 16 years or older seen gynecomastia, loss,...
Literature describing the anatomic characteristics of osteochondral fractures (OCFs) in knee joint after patellar dislocation is scarce.To describe patterns OCFs acute or recurrent a sample patients from 2 orthopaedic trauma centers.Case series; Level evidence, 4.In this multicenter study, all who had International Classification Diseases, 10th Revision, diagnostic codes S83.0 and M22.0 between 2012 2018 were screened. Of 2181 with clinically diagnosed dislocation, 1189 undergone magnetic...
Study Design. Cross-sectional, observational study. Objective. To study the occurrence of sagittal malalignment, adaptability a simplified modifiers grading Scoliosis Research Society (SRS)-Schwab adult spinal deformity (ASD) classification, and deformity-specific SRS questionnaire version 30 (SRS-30) in an unselected cohort with symptomatic degenerative disorders. Summary Background Data. The SRS-Schwab ASD classification correlate health-related quality life (HRQoL) measures patients ASD....
Abstract Background The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) and its shorter version, the Six-Item Symptoms Scale (CTS-6), are widely used for assessing function and/or symptoms in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. This study examined structural validity of BCTQ CTS-6 among who had undergone surgery treatment Methods data this cross-sectional analysis were obtained from 217 adult release 1 year earlier. All completed CTS-6, Symptom Severity (SSS) Functional Status (FSS) at 12 months...
We examine the outcomes following operative treatment of intra-articular fracture combined with medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction after patella dislocation.Patients were retrospectively identified from medical records using diagnostic and surgical procedure codes. Radiological anatomical parameters bony abnormalities injured knees assessed magnetic resonance images (MRI). Inclusion criteria traumatic patellar dislocation chondral or osteochondral MPFL rupture, a...
Abstract Purpose Increasing knowledge on the treatment of patellar dislocation has resulted in development new surgical techniques for patella stabilisation. National incidence and trends surgery were examined using data from Finnish Hospital Discharge Register (NHDR). The hypothesis was that an increased understanding pathophysiology instability popularity reconstructing damaged structures modification anatomical risk factors. Methods Data years 1997–2016 collected NHDR database ICD-10...
The Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) is a patient-reported outcome measure that available in several languages. We aim to assess the structural construct validity of FAAM with an emphasis on pain functionality after foot surgery. activities daily living (ADL) Sports subscales Finnish version were completed by 182 patients who underwent operative treatment for disorders foot. Convergent was assessed principal component analysis using Spearman's correlation coefficient between components...
Purpose: The present study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of Finnish version Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) among foot and ankle patients.Methods: LEFS was translated cross-culturally adapted Finnish. We assessed test–retest reliability, internal consistency, floor-ceiling effect, construct validity criterion in patients who underwent surgery due musculoskeletal pathology (N = 166).Results: reliability high (ICC 0.93, 95% CI: 0.91–0.95). standard error measurement 4.1...
The 5-item non-technical skills scale for trauma (T-NOTECHS) with five response categories is developed to assess in team resuscitations. This validated instrument assesses behavioral aspects teamwork. Outcome instruments should undergo a robust adaptation process followed by psychometric validation maintain their measurement properties when translated into different languages. translatability of the T-NOTECHS non-Anglo-Saxon language has not been thus far unraveled. authors aimed whether...
The BODY-Q is a patient-reported outcome measure used to assess outcomes in patients undergoing weight loss and/or body contouring surgery (BC) following massive loss. Normative values for the are needed improve data interpretation and enable comparison. Thus, aim of this study was determine normative BODY-Q. Participants were recruited internationally through two crowdsourcing platforms. participants invited complete scales an URL link provided within General linear analyses performed...
Abstract Background Intramedullary tibial nailing (IMN) is the gold standard for stabilizing shaft fractures. IMN can be performed through an infra- or suprapatellar approach. Purpose The aim of this study to compare rate fasciotomies acute compartment syndrome between and approaches. Methods A total 614 consecutive patients who were treated with fracture October 2007 February 2020 included in study. approach used was determined by operating surgeon. Infrapatellar knee deep flexion position,...
To examine health-related quality of life (HRQL) and satisfaction with appearance in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery (BS) or without subsequent body contouring (BCS) relation to the general population normative for BODY-Q.
Background and purpose: Investigation of treatment options in the pediatric population necessitates use valid patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We aimed to assess construct validity internal consistency Quick Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand (QuickDASH) with upper extremity fractures treated both operatively conservatively.Patients methods: QuickDASH, along several reference PROMs objective measures, was obtained from 148 5- 18-year-old patients a humeral medial epicondyle fracture...
Background Free vascularized fibular graft is useful in upper extremity long-bone reconstruction. The authors studied the reliability and long-term outcomes of this technique. Methods included 20 patients with a minimum follow-up 24 months study, retrospectively reviewed patients' hospital records used preinformation form, Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand (DASH), Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), 15D health-related quality life (HRQoL) instrument to perform cross-sectional assessment....
The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire is the most commonly used outcome measure in assessment of carpal tunnel syndrome. purpose this study was to translate original into Finnish and validate its psychometric properties.We translated culturally adapted Finnish. Subsequently, 193 patients completed version Questionnaire, 6-Item CTS Symptoms Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimensions 12 months after release. re-administered a 2-week interval.
