Purpose: Therapies for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have shown significant improvement since the introduction of biological agents (BIO) in 2003 and Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) in 2013 in Japan. The rate of orthopedic surgery, including total hip arthroplasties (THA), may reflect trends in disease severity, management, and health outcomes.
Materials And Methods: An analysis of data on THAs performed at our institutes for treatment of RA with BIO or non-BIO therapy from 2004 to 2021 was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- This study examined factors influencing where glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients end up after rehabilitation in hospitals.
- Researchers analyzed data from 85 GBM patients and found that age and the Barthel index (a measure of disability) significantly predicted their discharge destination.
- Specifically, patients over 76 years old and with a Barthel index below 30 were key indicators for determining rehabilitation strategies for these individuals.
