Retrospective Observational Study.
The use of stem-cell therapies for the treatment various musculoskeletal conditions, especially knee osteoarthritis (OA), is rapidly expanding, despite only low-level evidence to support its use. Centers offering these are often marketing and charging patients out-of-pocket costs such services. Therefore, purpose this study was determine current marketed: (1) prices (2) clinical efficacy OA. This a prospective cross-sectional which queried 317 U.S. centers that offered direct-to-consumer...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are often used for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA), despite clinical value and cost-effectiveness not being definitely established. PRP considered as a potential means reducing pain improving function in patients with OA, hope delaying or avoiding need surgical intervention. Centers that offer usually charge out pocket directly market services. Therefore, purpose this study was to quantify current (1) prices (2) marketed efficacy autologous OA....
Background: Postoperative length of stay (LOS) 1 day compared with that 2 to 4 days after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or hip (THA) and 90-day readmissions. Methods: PearlDiver identified TKA (n = 648,758) THA patients 346,732) between 2005 2014. Groups consisted control (LOS day) study days) groups. Study groups were matched age, sex, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index. Logistic regression analysis odds ratio analyzed readmission rates. P < 0.05 was statistically significant. Results:...
Although studies have shown the implications of substance use on total joint arthroplasty, investigating association patients exclusively who cannabis disorder (CUD) after primary knee arthroplasty (TKA) are sparse. As such, this study analyzed a private payor database to assess relationship CUD TKA.Data from Mariner data set were used identify undergoing TKA. Patients with ratio matched 1:5 comparison population by age, sex, and comorbidities, yielding 55,553 in (n = 9,260) case-matched...
Background: Use of platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) injections for treating knee osteoarthritis has increased over the past decade. We used cost-effectiveness analysis to evaluate value PRP in delaying need total arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: developed a Markov model analyze baseline case: 55-year-old patient with Kellgren-Lawrence grade-II or III undergoing series 3 1-year delay TKA versus from outset. Both health-care payer and societal perspectives were included. Transition probabilities derived...
YouTube has become a popular platform for disseminating health-related information. However, the quality of such videos never been assessed based on video source (author). Therefore, current investigation aimed to quantitatively analyze (1) accuracy, (2) reliability, (3) quality, and (4) content total knee (TKA) hip (THA) arthroplasty as patient information, source.YouTube was queried (May 13, 2020) TKA THA videos. Top viewed 55 50 relevant were stratified by (ie, academic, physician,...
With the establishment of state-based health insurance marketplaces, how U.S. insurers are responding to market pressures and influencing premiums have represented important questions. We made novel use Standard Poor's (S&P) Financial, a Wall Street financial dataset platform, analyze trends in capitalization total direct written (DWPs) from 2001 2016 top 5, 10, 25 companies. Our results indicate that concentration publicly traded companies has remained relatively stable over past decade....
Study Design. Retrospective Case-Control Objectives. The objectives were to determine whether patients from poor social determinants of health (SDOH), undergoing primary 1-2 level lumbar fusion (1-2LF), demonstrate differences in: 1) medical complications; 2) emergency department (ED) utilizations; 3) readmission rates; and 4) costs care. Summary.of Background Data. Measures socioeconomic disadvantage may enable improved targeting prevention potentially increased healthcare utilization. Area...
Introduction: Ultraviolet-C (UVC) sterilization technologies have garnered significant attention for their potential to inactivate pathogens. The UVCeed device, a smartphone-enabled UVC tool, offers portable and user-friendly option disinfection. This study investigates the disinfection efficacy of against bacterial viral pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Pathogens were inoculated onto sterile surfaces such as urine cups...
