Clinical Outcomes Following Treatment of Recurrent Talotarsal Joint Dislocation Using a Type II Extraosseous Talotarsal Stabilization Implant-A Long-Term Follow-Up Study.

Collapsing foot deformity (CFD) and its resulting sequelae caused by recurring talotarsal joint dislocation (RTTJD) affects pediatric and adult patients. An extraosseous talotarsal stabilization (EOTTS) procedure, a subset of subtalar arthroereisis (SA) procedures, is recommended as a minimally invasive, first in-line surgical treatment option for CFD. The aim of this multicenter, retrospective study was to evaluate patient-reported outcomes measures in patients who were treated for RTTJD with Type II EOTTS implants.

Electronic Data Capture Versus Conventional Data Collection Methods in Clinical Pain Studies: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The most commonly used means to assess pain is by patient self-reported questionnaires. These questionnaires have traditionally been completed using paper-and-pencil, telephone, or in-person methods, which may limit the validity of the collected data. Electronic data capture methods represent a potential way to validly, reliably, and feasibly collect pain-related data from patients in both clinical and research settings.

Children's Experiences of Cancer Care: A Systematic Review and Thematic Synthesis of Qualitative Studies.

Problem Identification: Improvements in pediatric cancer survival have increased interest in the experiences of children undergoing treatment; however, no review of the qualitative literature describing these experiences has been conducted.

Literature Search: Databases were searched from January 2000 to January 2016 for qualitative studies describing the experience of children with cancer aged 18 years or younger.

Data Evaluation: Two reviewers assessed abstracts for relevance and rated reporting comprehensiveness.
