Article Synopsis
- Short-term results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are well-studied, but there's a need for long-term assessments of patient well-being post-surgery.
- A retrospective study evaluated functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in TKA patients over 10 years using patient-reported measures and objective assessments.
- Results show significant and lasting improvements in functional parameters and QoL, indicating TKA's effectiveness for patients with advanced knee arthritis.
Background: "Proximal humerus fractures [PHFs]" are common orthopedic injuries, often requiring surgical intervention for optimal outcomes. However, the choice of surgical approach remains controversial, with varying outcomes reported in the literature.
Methods: A retrospective research was overseen among subjects who had surgery for PHFs.
Purpose: This study aimed to validate the factor structure of the 12-item Short-Form (SF-12) health-related quality of life (HRQOL) survey for Indian adults and assess the impact of lifestyle modification on the SF-12 of Indian adults with prediabetes.
Methods: To validate the context-specific construct of the SF-12, two-factor confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed using data from 1285 adults residing in Chennai, India, who screened for the Diabetes Community Lifestyle Improvement Program (D-CLIP). D-CLIP was a randomized controlled trial of 578 participants with prediabetes (283 treatment, 293 control), focusing on the effect of lifestyle modifications on the prevention of diabetes.
