Outcome More Than 20 Years After Surgery for Ulnar Nerve Compression at the Elbow.

Background: Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow is a common neurological entrapment neuropathy. Previous research has shown that surgical treatment can be highly successful. Only a few studies have reported on long-term outcome after surgery.

Longitudinal determinants of employment status in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Purpose: To investigate longitudinal relationships between employment status and disease-related, (neuro)psychological, and work-related factors in people with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Methods: 170 employed people with MS underwent yearly neurological and neuropsychological examinations to assess MS-related disability and cognitive functioning. Additionally, they completed yearly questionnaires assessing depression, anxiety, fatigue, cognitive complaints, workplace support and coping.

Validity of the modified Rankin Scale in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: a randomized study.

Purpose: The modified Rankin Scale (mRS), a clinician-reported outcome measure of global disability, has never been validated in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The aims of this study are to assess: (1) convergent validity of the mRS; (2) responsiveness of the mRS; and (3) the distribution of mRS scores across patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Methods: This is a prospective randomized multicenter study.

The necessity of electrodiagnostic studies and ultrasound in ulnar nerve entrapment according to surgeons in the Netherlands.

Background: Ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE) is the second most prevalent entrapment neuropathy after carpal tunnel syndrome. The objective of this study was to evaluate the expert opinion of different surgical disciplines regarding the need for electrodiagnostic or ultrasound confirmation of UNE and, if so, which test was preferred for confirmation.

Methods: A questionnaire was sent to all neurosurgeons and plastic or hand surgeons in the Netherlands to evaluate the current practice in planning surgical treatment of UNE.

The SOS-SAH questionnaire in clinical practice: a multi-method evaluation study.

Background: In patients with mild disabilities after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), invisible symptoms might be easily overlooked during consultations in the outpatient clinic. We hypothesize that the Questionnaire for the Screening of Symptoms in aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SOS-SAH), a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure, might aid in screening for symptoms after aSAH. The objective of this explorative study is to evaluate the perceived impact of using the SOS-SAH in daily clinical practice for patients after aSAH, as well as to explore potential barriers to further implementation.
