Filter by:Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is a highly effective treatment for patients with symptomatic hip osteoarthritis. The surgical approach in THA is important as it influences postoperative clinical recovery, functional outcomes, and implant positioning [1]. The evolution of surgical techniques in THA has led to the development of minimally invasive surgery, which is performed through smaller skin incisions, reduced soft tissue disruption and greater muscle preservation [2-10]. This prospective, randomised control study compares clinical and radiological outcomes in THA performed using the standard posterior approach (PA) and its less invasive modification, the direct superior approach (DSA). The study will include 80 patients with hip osteoarthritis undergoing THA. Following informed consent, patients will be randomised to one of the two treatment groups, and undergo THA using either the PA or DSA. The control group includes patients undergoing THA through the PA while the investigation group includes patients undergoing THA with the DSA. A further 25 patients randomly selected from each treatment group will undergo radiosteriometric analysis (RSA) to assess differences in early implant migration between PA and DSA groups. Clinical and radiological outcomes of interest will be recorded by blinded observers at regular intervals for 2 years after surgery. The findings of this study will enable an improved understanding of differences in postoperative clinical recovery, functional outcomes, and implant positioning in THA performed using the DSA compared to the PA approach.
The purpose of the study was to determine whether the race and gender of a simulated doctor affected analog patients' reported confidence and satisfaction in the simulated doctor's diagnosis and treatment plan. The study used two randomized patient analog experiments. This study is complete and pre-analysis plans (PAPs) for each experiment were published prior to data collection. The PAPs are available at: http://aspredicted.org/blind.php?x=43xj25 (Study 1) and https://aspredicted.org/blind.php?x=369st7 (Study 2).
10 years of follow-up with SF-36 global (Quality of Life issues), GSRS (Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale) and two reflux specific questionnaires.
Background: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a condition with an increased risk of oral cancer. Due to the current changes in the factors associated with these diseases (because of human papillomavirus), it is expected that those who have no history of smoking or alcohol, young (<50 years old), and white male would be commonly affected. Those individuals require a higher need for information, preferred a more active role in decision-making, and have a longer lifespan than older individuals. There remain no detailed studies of whether the informational needs delivered to patients with OED met their needs or indeed what information such patient may wish. A few tools are available to evaluate the IN of patients with head and neck disorders. However, the items of these instruments were dedicated to a particular disease (e.g. cancer) and hence are not applicable to be used for OED. Project aims: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Oral Epithelial Dysplasia Informational Needs Questionnaire (ODIN-Q), developed and revised in the preliminary work for the proposed study, in a cohort of patients with OED. Timescale: 19 months. Clinical significance: This questionnaire can be useful in clinical practice. It could help to meet the patient's information needs and plan educational interventions for those showing unmet needs.
Compare functional visual outcomes and patient satisfaction of post-LASIK patients having received presbyopia-correcting IOLs versus post-LASIK patients having received monofocal IOLs
The study Patients Commitment to compression therapy (POMP) is observational, prospective. After the Phlebologist consultation after 1 month and 1 year, a telephone questionnaire is carried out for the patients included in the study with the involvement of a company specializing in conducting a telephone questionnaire. Patients will be interviewed about the implementation of the doctor's recommendations regarding compression therapy over a period 1 month and 1 year.
Clean Intermittent Self-Catheterization (CISC) is a procedure of regularly emptying the bladder by introducing a single-use urinary catheter through the urethra. CISC are indicated in several situations in patients with neurological pathologies but also with urological or functional disorders. The announcement of the indication of CISC is often difficult and the acceptance of this therapy remains complicated, due to the invasive side, the dependence on a material and the time required to perform CISC. A few studies have assessed patient satisfaction and adherence to self-catheterization through quality of life questionnaires, but none have examined the impact of this technique on daily life through the duration of CISC. Primary aim is to evaluate the impact of time to perform CISC on patient adherence and satisfaction. Patients over 18 years old performed CISC for more than 1 month, exclusive or not, are included. History and treatment, age, professional activity, visuals disorders, technical aids for walking and the history of CISC with the date of initiation, the type of catheter, the carrier, the number of CISC per 24 hours, the position of realization, the use of a mirror and urethral sensitivity are recorded. Cognitive disorders, fatigue, psychological state, impact on quality of life are assessed on the day of the patient's consultation. The grip of the upper limbs is explored by Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test. The validated questionnaires,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire ( InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) are completed. At home, patients have to complete one calendar on the specific duration of a 24-hour self-catheterization and the next day a second calendar on the total duration of CISC Primary outcome is specific time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment when the circumstances of care are combined to carry it out : isolated place, nearby equipment. Secondary outcome is total time of self-catheterization described by the timed duration from the moment of the intention to self-catheter until the return to the initial activity. Influence of age, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (Moca), Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), Box and Block and Nine Hole Peg Test, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Qualiveen Total,Intermittent Catheterization Satisfaction Questionnaire (InCaSaQ), Intermittent Catheterization Difficulty Questionnaire (ICDQ), Intermittent Catheterization Adherence Scale (ICAS) on time of self-catheterization are analysis.
To compare robot assisted versus conventional laparoscopic surgery performed for bening gynecologic disorders regarding cosmesis, patient satisfaction and quality of life
This randomized control trial will compare traditional patient education methods (pamphlets, clinical visits) to the implementation of an innovated patient education platform. The purpose of the project is to determine whether the use of this animation based patient education platform prior to undergoing surgery will lead to improved patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Since the 2015 Montgomery vs Lanarkshire Health Board ruling, the consent process in the UK has had to change. In practice, this means that doctors must ask themselves whether the patient knows about the material risks of the treatment being proposed, alternatives to the treatment, and whether reasonable care has been taken to ensure the patient actually knows this. This study aims to determine patients' perspectives of consent for major cancer surgery in light of the Lanarkshire ruling.
