Filter by:A retrospective cohort study of early and late period postoperative scars using previously validated survey measures and clinical photographs. The target population consists of participants treated with Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) for a facial skin cancer by the division of dermatologic surgery. This study aims to determine if patient assessment of scar appearance correlates with physician ratings and/or third-person observer ratings. Secondary goals are to assess for correlations between early post-operative scar appearance and long-term scar appearance as well as identification of predictive factors for scar healing.
The LIAR-Trial is a single-center, single blind randomized controlled clinical trial comparing patients undergoing isolated AVR via J-shaped upper hemi-sternotomy (UHS) and conventional AVR through a full median sternotomy (FMS). Primary outcome is cardiac-specific quality of life, measured by two domains of the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ), up to one year after surgery.
Managing chronic pelvic pain in patients with a past history of endometriosis might be a challenge for the gynaecologist. The objective of this study is to evaluate pelvic pain after treatment with radiofrequency in patients with chronic pelvic pain and surgery for endometriosis.
Surgical reconstruction to restore oral function and aesthetics after major ablative surgery in the oral cavity forms a challenge to maxillofacial surgeons, and greatly impacts patient' quality of life (QOL). The "Oncological-bridge (O-bridge®)" protocol, which offers (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthetic rehabilitation in a minimum of sessions and a strongly reduced two-week treatment time.
The HOKUSAI post VTE study contains of two different research questions; one on the long term outcomes of deep vein thrombosis and one on the long term effects of pulmonary embolism, post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) respectively. Our aim of the study is to compare the long term outcomes along with the quality of life assessment of VTE in a group treated with heparin+VKA versus a group treated with heparin+edoxaban in the acute setting.
The aim of this study is to assess patient's quality of life 5 to 10 years after a severe bacterial infection with hospitalization in a intensive unit care. The population is derived from the DIABACT III study. The investigators will include every patient still alive. To evaluate our question, patients and their parents will answer quality of life questionnaires. The investigators will also have telephone interviews with the parents to know somatic and psychological effects on their child. The investigators will see if quality of life and sequelae differ depending on various studied factors.
The objective of this study is to obtain follow up data on a cohort of well-studied patients with Fabry disease who have been on ERT since childhood for a total of about 15 years.
The nursing process consists of establishing interventions applying the scientific method for the resolution of real or potential health problems of the person, based on five stages: assessment, diagnosis, planning, execution and evaluation, which allows detecting the circumstances and elements that affect the adult's independence and the influence he has on his environment, his quality of life, his family, social and psychological role. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical trial, randomized, controlled with standard management; to evaluate the effect of the nursing process on the quality of life in elderly patients who come or are referred to the Cardiology Hospital, National Medical Century XXI, with alterations in the ventricular atrial conduction and require the installation of a permanent pacemaker. The first evaluation (Time 0) will be carried out through an interview with the SF36 instrument, translated into several languages and applied to multiple studies in Mexico for validation. Two groups will be formed for comparison: Group I will be assigned to standard management; Group II: group of patients who are also treated through the nursing process with the model of Marjory Gordon with the intervention Handling the definitive pacemaker with education and information activities. It will be verified for quality control of the maneuver; through a checklist. As a final point, the quality of life will be evaluated through the use of the SF36 instrument that consists of 36 items that explore 8 dimensions of the state of physical health, physical function, physical role, body pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role and mental health: considering depression, anxiety, self-control, and general well-being; applying the assessment system of the functional patterns of the Marjory Gordon model, through surveys. Statistical analysis: Chi square or Fisher's exact test will be used according to expected values, for qualitative variables. For quantitative variables, the Mann Whitney U or Student's T according to their distribution. There will be a calculation of the number needed to be treated, and a multivariate analysis will be carried out using a binary logistic regression.
To investigate the efficacy of Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR),to improve HRQoL, cognition, and mood, as well as to determine the longevity of the treatment response in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).
