Background: The provision of end-of-life care (EOLC) is an ongoing component of practice in intensive care units (ICUs). Interdisciplinary, multicomponent interventions may enhance the quality of EOLC for patients and the experience of family members and ICU clinicians during this period.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of a multicomponent intervention on EOLC practices in the ICU and family members' and clinicians' perceptions of EOLC.
Study Design: Retrospective, mono-centric cohort research study.
Objectives: The analysis of cervical sagittal balance parameters is essential for preoperative planning and dependent on the physician's experience. A fully automated artificial intelligence-based algorithm could contribute to an objective analysis and save time.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how psychological factors, specifically anxiety and depression, impact patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following lumbar infiltration therapies for unilateral lumbar radiculopathy.
- Most patients showed significant improvements in pain and function over a 12-month period, but those with anxiety or depression had worse baseline PROs, indicating mental health can affect perceived effectiveness of the treatment.
- Despite these differences in baseline conditions, all patients experienced overall significant clinical benefits from the treatment, suggesting that while psychological confounders exist, they did not change the overall therapeutic effectiveness.
Purpose: Only a few publications considered the influence of the spinopelvic parameters on below-hip anatomy. There is a lack of evidence about the relationship between the anatomic spinopelvic parameters and the posterior tibial slope (PTS). Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the association between fixed anatomic spinopelvic parameters and PTS.
