Empathy is a key component of therapeutic relationship. Perceived empathy and compassion are associated with patient satisfaction, reduced symptoms, adherence to treatment.To assess the advantages disadvantages validated Jefferson Scale Patient's Perception Physician (JSPPPE) Consultation Relational (CARE) tools.Eighty-four patients completed JSPPPE CARE measure. With Pearson's correlation exploratory factor analysis, we measured underlying construct. Flooring ceiling effects were measured....
Abstract Using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS PF) computerized adaptive test instead of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (KOOS, JR) could reduce question burden patients with knee pain. We aimed to prospectively determine correlation between PROMIS PF KOOS, JR assess whether be a useful alternative measure both research clinical care This was cross-sectional study 88 patients. assessed using Pearson's...
Optimization of clinical pathways and logistics led to the introduction outpatient joint arthroplasty hip knee. Nevertheless, little is known about what these current protocols look like how they differ from "standard" inpatient protocols. This study aimed find preoperative, intraoperative, postoperative differences between pathways.
We present the case of an 82-year-old female, who experienced a ground-level fall on trochanter right femur. X-rays showed proximal femoral fracture (PFF) with unclear and unusual pattern. Three-dimensional CT images were obtained displaced neck ipsilateral greater trochanter. Our patient underwent unipolar hemiarthroplasty fixation hook plate cable grip. At 11 months, functional outcomes, satisfaction quality life excellent. Primary osteoporosis was diagnosed treatment bisphosphonates...
