Filter by:The project intends to analyze the epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, complications and resource utilization of artificial joint replacement in China through the inpatient data collected by the Hospital Quality Monitoring System (HQMS). The HQMS database is a mandatory electronic inpatient database system developed by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China. Since 2013, tertiary hospitals have been required to upload their inpatient discharge records. By 2019, the HQMS database has included more than 230 million standardized inpatient discharge records of over 1000 hospitals across all 31 provincial-level administrative regions in mainland China. Patient demographics, clinical diagnosis, procedures and operations, drug use, costs and complications were all recorded in the HQMS database. The investigators planned to include five types of arthroplasty, including knee arthroplasty, hip arthroplasty, shoulder arthroplasty, ankle arthroplasty and elbow arthroplasty. The data analysis will be conformed to the principle of confidentiality and will not reveal the privacy of those patients. The data will be only used for this research project and there is no conflict of interest. It is in line with the principles of ethics, harmlessness and fairness. This study was authorized by the HQMS Committee Board and approved by the institutional review board, with waiver of informed consent.
Analysis of clinical and functional outcomes after a total elbow arthrosplasty, all indications combined, with a minimum follow up of 24 months The hypothesis is that there a significant improvement after an elbow replacement, no matter what the surgery indication is
Surgery is a common treatment type for damaged joints, tendons and nerves in the upper limb where conservative measures are inappropriate or have failed. These conditions are common and result in significant levels of pain and functional disability. The investigators are conducting a broad ranging study of variation in the provision of surgical treatment and factors affecting outcomes after surgical treatment of upper limb conditions. This will be a population-based study of all patients undergoing surgical treatment funded by the National Health Service (NHS) of England over a nineteen-year period. This study will help to understand the factors associated with a poor outcome following surgery, which can be shared with patients considering treatment options. The investigators will also document current and future health service burden associated with commonly performed surgical procedures including complications and repeat operations.
Total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) results in immediate pain release with good functional results after distal humerus fractures. But still open reduction and internal fixation is recommended as treatment of choise due to a lifelong loading limitiation, unknown implant survival and problematic revision surgery after TEA. The purpose of this study was to compare functional results and complication rates after primary total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) and TEA after failed reconstruction or non-operative treatment (secondary TEA) in the treatment of distal humerus fractures. We hypothesised that clinical and functional results are better for primary TEA with less complications.
