Article Synopsis
- Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMD) are common among surgeons, especially orthopedic surgeons, but little research exists on this issue in Saudi Arabia.
- A systematic review of studies from 2000 to June 2024 found that nine studies involving 490 orthopedic surgeons showed WRMD prevalence ranging from 36% to 90.3%, primarily affecting the lower back.
- The research indicates a strong connection between WRMD and factors like smoking and age, suggesting that orthopedic residency programs should incorporate ergonomics training to help address these concerns.
Background: We have previously shown headache to be highly prevalent among adults in Saudi Arabia. Here we estimate associated symptom burden and impaired participation (impaired use of time, lost productivity and disengagement from social activity), and use these estimates to assess headache-related health-care needs in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A randomised cross-sectional survey included 2,316 adults (18-65 years) from all 13 regions of the country.
Introduction: As reported by the World Health Organization (WHO), annually, there are 1.5 million new infections, with more than 290 million people living with chronic hepatitis B diseases in 2019. Medical students (MSs), a subgroup of health care workers (HCWs), are at high occupational risk for HBV infection since HCWs have a 2-10 times greater risk of getting the virus than the general population.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There is a scarcity of clinical studies which evaluate the association of atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Middle East. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of CAD on baseline clinical profiles and one-year outcomes in a Middle Eastern cohort with AF.
Methods: Consecutive AF patients evaluated in 29 hospitals and cardiology clinics were enrolled in the Jordan AF Study (May 2019-December 2020).
