Effect of a delayed admission to the intensive care unit on survival after emergency department visit in patients with cancer: a retrospective observational study.

Background And Importance: Delayed admission to the ICU is reported to be associated with worse outcomes in cancer patients.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to compare the 180-day survival of cancer patients whether they were directly admitted to the ICU from the emergency department (ED) or secondarily from the wards after the ED visit.

Design, Settings And Participants: This was a retrospective observational study including all adult cancer patients that visited the ED in 2018 and that were admitted to the ICU at some point within 7 days from the ED visit.

Very long-term osteoarthritis rate after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: 182 cases with 22-year' follow-up.

Background: Few data are available on the 20-year outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of knee osteoarthritis at least 20 years after ACL reconstruction.

Hypothesis: Factors associated with progression to knee osteoarthritis include meniscal lesions, level of physical activity, injury-to-surgery time, body mass index, residual laxity, tunnel position and cartilage injury.

Pain coping strategies in children with cerebral palsy.

Aim: To describe coping strategies in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP), relative to age.

Method: Patients were prospectively recruited from two paediatric rehabilitation centres in France. The Pediatric Pain Coping Inventory - French and Structured Pain Questionnaire were completed by an experienced professional for each child.

Arthroscopic treatment of basal joint arthritis by partial trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction: Short-term results from a prospective study of 20 patients.

Partial trapeziectomy for basal joint arthritis is an alternative to total trapeziectomy that preserves the height of the thumb column. Using arthroscopy reduces the incidence of periarticular lesions and the risks of complications. The purpose of this prospective single-center study was to evaluate the results of arthroscopic partial trapeziectomy combined with suspension and interposition ligament reconstruction using half of the abductor pollicis longus tendon.

Long-Term Results of Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty for Knee Avascular Necrosis.

Background: Numerous series have documented short and mid-term successes with cemented, metal-backed modern unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for avascular osteonecrosis of the knee (AVN). However, data are lacking regarding long-term implant fixation and patient function. The aim of this study is therefore to evaluate the long-term clinical outcome and implant survivorship of patients who underwent UKA for medial knee osteonecrosis (ON).
