Exercise interventions are often incompletely described in reports of clinical trials, hampering evaluation results and replication implementation into practice.The aim this study was to develop a standardized method for reporting exercise programs trials: the Consensus on Reporting Template (CERT).Using EQUATOR Network's methodological framework, 137 experts were invited participate Delphi consensus study. A list 41 items identified from meta-epidemiologic 73 systematic reviews exercise....
Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are increasingly common with a significant impact on individuals society. Non-pharmacological treatments considered essential to reduce pain improve function quality of life. EULAR recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management hip OA were published in 2013. Given large number subsequent studies, an update is needed.
To explore factors related to hand pain in persons with radiographic osteoarthritis (OA).Persons the Musculoskeletal Pain Ullensaker Study OA (≥1 joint Kellgren/Lawrence grade ≥2) were included (n = 530). We examined cross-sectional association between possible explanatory variables and entire sample 2 phenotypes (erosive versus nonerosive) using structural equation analyses. Outcome Australian/Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index (AUSCAN; range 0-20) number of tender finger joints upon...
To improve quality of care for patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), a structured model integrated OA was developed based on international recommendations. The objective this study to assess the effectiveness in primary care.We conducted cluster-randomised controlled trial stepped-wedge cohort design 6 Norwegian municipalities (clusters) between January 2015 October 2017. randomised order concealed clusters until time crossover from control intervention phase. implementation SAMBA...
There is variation in the number of response alternatives used within health-related questionnaires. This study compared a four-and five-point scale version Norwegian Function Assessment Scale (NFAS) by evaluating data quality, internal consistency and validity. All inhabitants seven birth cohorts Ullensaker municipality Norway were approached means postal questionnaire. The NFAS was included as part Study 2004. instrument comprises 39 items derived from activities/participation component...
To develop and test a new instrument for patient self-reported quality of osteoarthritis (OA) care, to provide indicator (QI) pass rates in Norwegian OA cohort.The OsteoArthritis Quality Indicator (OA-QI) questionnaire was developed using published QIs, expert panels, interviews. Self-reported data were collected from 359 persons cohort, test-retest reliability validity assessed. Separate QI summary calculated.The 17-item includes QIs related education information, regular provider...
To assess and compare patient perceived quality of osteoarthritis (OA) management in primary healthcare Denmark, Norway, Portugal the UK. Participants consulting with clinical signs symptoms knee OA were identified 30 general practices invited to complete a cross-sectional survey including indicators (QI) for care. A QI was considered as eligible if participant had checked 'Yes' or 'No', achieved indicator. The median percentage (with IQR range) QIs by country determined compared negative...
To evaluate the efficacy of strength exercise or aerobic compared to usual care on knee-related quality life (QoL) and knee function at 4 months 1 year in individuals with osteoarthritis.A three-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT) 12 weeks (stationary cycling) supervised by physiotherapists primary care. We recruited 168 participants aged 35-70 years symptomatic osteoarthritis. The outcome was Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) QoL year. Secondary outcomes were self-reported...
Knowledge about the prevalence and consequences of osteoarthritis (OA) in Norwegian population is limited. This study has been designed to gain a greater understanding musculoskeletal pain general with focus on clinically radiologically confirmed OA, as well risk factors, consequences, management OA. The Musculoskeletal Ullensaker STudy (MUST) an observational comprising population-based postal survey comprehensive clinical examination sub-sample self-reported OA (MUST cohort). All...
People with hand osteoarthritis (OA) often have poor access to recommended treatments. To enhance care quality, quality indicators (QIs) based on clinical recommendations are essential. Current QI sets, like the Osteoarthritis Quality Indicator Questionnaire (OA-QI v.2), primarily address hip- and knee OA, not OA. adapt OA-QI v.2 for assessing patient-reported of OA care. We used v.2. set as a starting point adapted it reflect A literature search was performed identify potential QIs...
Background Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints, requiring frequent, lifelong monitoring treatment. This involves regular symptom monitoring, assessing medication tolerance side effects, prompt therapy adjustments. Typically, patients with axSpA attend prescheduled hospital visits, but once stable has been attained, these seldom align periods of high activity. Remote patient-initiated care offer flexible,...
People with osteoarthritis desire high quality care, support and information. However, the of care for people OA in general practice is not routinely collected. Quality Indicators can be used to benefit patients by measuring whether minimum standards are being met from a patient perspective. The aim this study was describe how Research User Group (RUG) worked alongside researchers co-produce set self-reported indicators when visiting their practitioner or nurse (primary care). These were...
