Article Synopsis
- Patients with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) need thorough neurodiagnostic evaluations, but there are significant delays in referrals and underutilization of surgery, particularly in diverse US settings.
- This study seeks to analyze the rates and factors influencing neurodiagnostic evaluations for DRE patients across three different US cohorts using extensive medical data.
- The findings reveal low rates of comprehensive evaluations among DRE patients, with only about 4.5% in the Medicaid cohort, 8.0% in the commercial insurance cohort, and 14.3% at Columbia University Medical Center.
Background: Patient self-assessment of knee function in end-stage osteoarthritis (OA) and following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has become standard for defining disability. The relationship of PROMs to functional performance requires a continued investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine correlations between patient demographics, PROMs, and functional performances using a marker-less image capture system (MICS).
