Work Patterns and Intensity of Chinese Surgical Residents- A Multicenter Time-and-Motion Study.

Objective: This study aimed to record and analyze surgical resident trainee time allocation among junior doctors in China in order to understand the training environment and optimize realistic training and patient care objectives.

Design: Multicenter observational time and motion study.

Setting: Multicenter, carried out in 5 tier 3 public hospitals in 5 provinces across China.

Chinese cross-culturally adapted patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for knee disorders: a systematic review and assessment using the Evaluating the Measurement of Patient-Reported Outcomes (EMPRO) instrument.

Background: Knee patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used in research in China, but there is limited evidence on the quality of cross-culturally adapted and original Chinese PROMs. We investigated Chinese language knee PROMs to provide evidence for clinicians on their quality and to guide PROM choices.

Method: A systematic literature search of databases: PUBMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, and CNKI, using adequate search strings and a three-step screen process identified relevant studies.

An anatomical feasibility study using CTA reconstruction for modified percutaneous lumbar vertebroplasty.

Background: Lumbar vertebroplasty via several different types of extrapedicular approach has been reported with acceptable clinical results yet the anatomical basis for its safety is not fully explored. Injury to the lumbar arteries (LAs) is one of the most important potential complications. However, anatomical research on the course and variability of this structure is lacking.

Critical Appraisal of Paralyzed Veterans of America Guidelines in Spinal Cord Injury: An International Collaborative Study Using the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation II Instrument (AGREE II).

Introduction: Spinal cord injuries (SCI) in military personnel, veterans, and others require an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to their care. This appraisal used the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE) II instrument to evaluate the methodological quality of clinical guidelines for the management of SCI published by the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) organization.

Materials And Methods: We searched clinical guidelines on SCI published by PVA until December 2019.

Systematic review and standardised assessment of Chinese cross-cultural adapted hip Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).

Purpose: To perform a systemic literature search to identify Chinese cross culturally adapted and new designed Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) used for hip assessment, then a standardized evaluation of available instruments in order to provide evidence of high-quality PROMs for clinical use and adoption in future hip registries.

Methods: A Systematic Review of the following databases: PUBMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, CNKI was performed to identify relevant PROMs. Instruments underwent standardized assessment and scoring using the EMPRO tool by two independent reviewers.

Exploring the impact of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) among orthopaedic surgeons in mainland China: systematic review and survey-based study on hip and knee instruments.

Background: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are widely used in Europe and North America in a variety of areas including research, clinical governance, clinical registries and insurance ascertainment. The aim of this study was to assess commonly used knee and hip PROMs among Chinese surgeons and to gain an insight into their impact on evaluation of clinical outcomes.

Methods: 1.

Attitudes and compliance with the WHO surgical safety checklist: a survey among surgeons and operating room staff in 138 hospitals in China.

Background: Ten years after the introduction of the Chinese Ministry of Health (MoH) version of Surgical Safety Checklist (SSC) we wished to assess the ongoing influence of the World Health Organisation (WHO) SSC by observing all three checklist components during elective surgical procedures in China, as well as survey operating room staff and surgeons more widely about the WHO SSC.

Methods: A questionnaire was designed to gain authentic views on the WHO SSC. We also conducted a prospective cross-sectional study at five level 3 hospitals.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validity of the Chinese version of the Oxford elbow score.

Background: The Oxford Elbow score (OES) is a patient-reported outcome measure designed to evaluate patients before and after elbow surgery. Although various translated versions of the score are available, there is no Chinese mandarin version. The aim of this study was to develop a Chinese language version of the OES and evaluate its psychometric properties for clinical use.

Reliability and validity of 3 different Chinese versions of the Oxford knee score (OKS).

Background: Different Chinese versions of the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) are available for knee arthritis assessment. These include the Malaysian, Hong Kong and Singaporean Chinese versions with slight variations in wordings and use of Cantonese in the Hong Kong Version. This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the different Chinese OKS versions in Mainland China.
