Objectives: To assess pain trajectories in predicting risk of chronic postoperative pain (CPP) after liver resection for living donor transplantation.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of patients undergoing liver resection for living donor transplantation during 3years.
Patients And Methods: After recording perioperative data, patients presenting CPP at 3months were separated from patients without postsurgical pain problem in order to build a pain trajectory for liver donor patients without CPP. Postoperative course of liver donors with CPP was then compared to that standard pain trajectory.
Results: Sixty-five patients (30 females, 35 males) were included. Epidural analgesia was used in 66%; others received autocontrolled analgesia by morphine. Severe acute pain was expressed by 11% and 37% at rest and movement respectively on the first day. Chronic pain involved six patients without any link with gender or type of analgesia. Analysis of pain trajectories shown that these patients presented either higher initial pain at day 1 or positive slopes with worsening of pain.
Conclusion: Acute postoperative pain is a risk factor of developing CPP. Identification of those people by pain trajectories can be useful to treat them early.

Int J Cardiol Cardiovasc Risk Prev

Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam UMC, Location AMC, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Objective: While chest pain is a common symptom, its prevalence among women and men across ethnic groups is unknown. Moreover, how chest pain is associated with general practitioner (GP) and cardiologist visits in women and men across ethnic groups, remains to be determined.
Design: We used baseline data on 12423 women and 9071 men from the multi-ethnic HELIUS cohort (Amsterdam, the Netherlands; 2011-2015).
Long-term sickness absence trajectories and associated occupational and lifestyle-related factors: a longitudinal study among young and early midlife Finnish employees with pain.
BMJ Open
December 2024
Department of Public Health, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify distinct trajectories of long-term sickness absence (LTSA, >10 consecutive working days) among young and early midlife Finnish employees who experienced pain at baseline. It also aimed to determine the pain characteristics and occupational and lifestyle factors associated with these LTSA patterns.
Design: Longitudinal occupational cohort study with register linkage.

Background: Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a heterogeneous clinical syndrome, making it challenging to predict patient trajectory and response to treatment. This study aims to identify biological/molecular CS subphenotypes, evaluate their association with outcome, and explore their impact on heterogeneity of treatment effect (ShockCO-OP, NCT06376318).
Methods: We used unsupervised clustering to integrate plasma biomarker data from two prospective cohorts of CS patients: CardShock (N = 205 [2010-2012, NCT01374867]) and the French and European Outcome reGistry in Intensive Care Units (FROG-ICU) (N = 228 [2011-2013, NCT01367093]) to determine the optimal number of classes.
Association of Palliative Care Timing with End-of-Life Quality in Children with Heart Disease.

Context: Children with heart disease are at risk for early mortality and parents often perceive suffering at end-of-life (EOL). Involvement of pediatric palliative care (PPC) is a proposed quality measure at the EOL in children with cancer, and early PPC involvement is associated with other quality measures. The impact of early PPC involvement on EOL quality is unknown in children with heart disease.

Objective: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) shows varying levels of improvement after surgical treatment. While some patients improve soon after surgery, others may take months to years to show any signs of improvement. The goal of this study was to evaluate postoperative improvement, patient-reported outcomes, and patient satisfaction up to 2 years after surgical treatment for CSM, which will help optimize the current treatment strategies and effectively manage patient expectations.
