Background: Great saphenous vein insufficiency (GSVI) adversely affects the quality of life of affected individuals. Minimally invasive endo-venous ablation techniques have emerged as effective and safe treatments, despite the longstanding use of surgical interventions. We aim in our study to evaluate all the available interventions in the literature, either endo-venous or conventional approaches for the treatment of GSVI.

- - An international group of health professionals and individuals with ankle osteoarthritis (OA) collaborated to define a core set of domains to be measured in studies related to ankle OA through a three-part Delphi process, which included online questionnaires and consensus meetings.
- - After gathering responses from 100 participants across 18 countries, five key domains were agreed upon for reporting in ankle OA trials: pain severity, health-related quality of life, function, disability, and ankle range of motion, while 21 domains were excluded.
- - The established core domain set aims to standardize outcome reporting in clinical trials for ankle OA, with recommendations for future research to identify effective measurement tools for these domains.
Objectives: Explore healthcare professionals' perspectives on the main problems that their patients with ankle osteoarthritis experience and to propose health-related domains.
Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with an international multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals identified as ankle experts. Eligibility criteria were aged ≥18 years, and a certified healthcare professional with ≥ 5-year experience post-qualification in working with ankle osteoarthritis and/or chronic ankle pain.
Objectives: Explore individuals' lived experience with ankle osteoarthritis and to identify health-related domains for ankle osteoarthritis based on the perspectives of people living with the condition, as an initial step to address the International Foot and Ankle Osteoarthritis Consortium's recommendation to develop a core domain set for ankle osteoarthritis.
Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted. Interviews were undertaken with individuals with symptomatic ankle osteoarthritis who were aged ≥35 years.
Objective: To explore and describe the outcome measures reported in primary research of ankle osteoarthritis (OA) and to propose aligned health-related domains.
Methods: Six databases were searched, and studies were screened by two independent reviewers. Studies of participants with ankle OA who were> 18 years of age and reported outcome measure data were included.
Article Synopsis
- - Ankle osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and painful condition with no established guidelines for management, largely due to the absence of universally accepted outcome measures in research studies.
- - To address this issue, an international steering committee will guide the creation of a core domain set through a three-phase process, involving input from both patients and healthcare professionals.
- - The first phase includes gathering candidate domains from existing research and interviews, followed by committee review in the second phase, and finally reaching a consensus through a Delphi survey process in the third phase.
