Filter by:Recurrent fluid surrounding the lungs is associated with poor quality of life, the main symptom being dyspnea. These patients are in need of recurrent removal of the fluid using drainage. The mechanism causing dyspnea is not fully understood. By using ultrasound to evaluate the movement of the diaphragm before and after removal of fluid and the patients symptoms before removal of fluid and until next removal the research group aims to clarify the temporal development in symptoms and the role of the diaphragm. The researchers will also evaluate the ability of the pulmonologist and patient to predict when the patient will need the next removal of fluid in patients with recurrent unilateral pleural effusion.
It is important for physiotherapy in general and for the individual physio-therapist to demonstrate the result of the interventions in physiotherapy. The new short (4 items) generic questionnaire Short Patient Evaluation Questionnaire SPEQ was especially developed for use in private practices to answer the main questions for evaluation of treatment. This research project aims at evaluating the reliability, validity and responsiveness of the SPEQ and at providing an estimate for Minimal Important Difference MID that may be used as threshold for clinical relevant changes.
The proposed study aims to examine several iterations of instructions/reminders that patients receive for completing the Health Assessment Questionnaire (self-reported health outcomes) for their outpatient visit at NYU Langone Orthopedic Center. The goal is to increase the completion rates of patient-reported health outcomes.
Investigators propose a multicenter prospective observational cohort study to develop and validate essential technical parameters for establishing the patient-reported outcome-based perioperative symptom management cohort in patients with lung cancer. With at least 300 patients with initial diagnosis of lung cancer and scheduled for surgery, this study will administer symptom assessments (MDASI-LC) and quality of life assessments (SIQOL) before surgery (typically within 3 days before surgery), daily after surgery (in hospital ≤ 14 days), and weekly after discharge, up to 4 weeks (±3 days) or the start day of postoperative oncologic treatment. In the upgraded research protocol, symptom and quality of life assessments (every 3 month for 1 year, every 6 month for 2-3 year, every 12 month for 4-5 year), as well as the follow-up of clinical outcomes will continue until 5 years after surgery.
Evaluate the impact of MusculoSkeletal Ultrasound added to Rheumatoid Arthritis patients classified in remission/low disease activity in terms of Patient Reported Outcomes.
The aim of this study is to understand and improve the experience of patients after surgery by comparing two methods of following symptoms while the patient recovers at home.
