Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) on liver-related symptoms during pregnancy, highlighting a gap in pre-conception risk assessment and management guidelines.
- A total of 450 patients were analyzed, revealing that 28.9% experienced worsened liver symptoms during pregnancy after PSC diagnosis, correlating with a decreased transplant-free survival rate.
- It was also found that some women exhibited liver-related symptoms before PSC diagnosis, suggesting that pregnancy might trigger or uncover early signs of the disease.
Background: The primary aim was to determine whether time spent awaiting primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) affects patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) using the Oxford Hip score, Harris Hip Score, and visual analogue scale (VAS) pain. The secondary aim was to assess whether patients have worsening HRQoL, while awaiting THA using the European Quality of Life Five Dimension (EQ-5D) index and EQ-5D health VAS.
Methods: This was a single center cross-sectional study of 190 patients awaiting THA.
Aim The purpose of this study is to report the clinical results and mid-term survivorship for total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed to treat displaced intracapsular hip fracture. Methods Between January 2005 and December 2019, 414 patients underwent THA for acute displaced intracapsular hip fracture. The mean age of patients was 73.
