AI Article Synopsis

  • The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) uses computer adaptive testing to evaluate health outcomes, particularly for those with shoulder arthritis.
  • The study found strong correlations between various traditional patient-reported outcome measures and PROMIS's physical function assessments, indicating reliability in measuring health quality.
  • No ceiling effects were detected in the PROMIS assessments, suggesting they can effectively capture physical function levels without being limited by the maximum score.

Article Abstract

Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) consists of question banks for health domains through computer adaptive testing (CAT).

Hypothesis: For patients with glenohumeral arthritis, (1) there would be high correlation between traditional patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures and the PROMIS upper extremity item bank (PROMIS UE) and PROMIS physical function CAT (PROMIS PF CAT), and (2) PROMIS PF CAT would not demonstrate ceiling effects.

Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3.

Methods: Sixty-one patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis were included. Each patient completed the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) assessment form, Marx Shoulder Activity Scale, Short Form-36 physical function scale (SF-36 PF), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire, Western Ontario Osteoarthritis Shoulder (WOOS) index, PROMIS PF CAT, and the PROMIS UE. Correlation was defined as high (>0.7), moderate (0.4-0.6), or weak (0.2-0.3). Significant floor and ceiling effects were present if more than 15% of individuals scored the lowest or highest possible total score on any PRO.

Results: The PROMIS PF demonstrated excellent correlation with the SF-36 PF ( = 0.81, < .0001) and good correlation with the ASES ( = 0.62, < .0001), EQ-5D ( = 0.64, < .001), and WOOS index ( = 0.51, < .01). The PROMIS PF demonstrated low correlation with the Marx scale ( = 0.29, = .02). The PROMIS UE demonstrated good correlation with the ASES ( = 0.55, < .0001), SF-36 ( = 0.53, < .01), EQ-5D ( = 0.48, < .01), and WOOS ( = 0.34, <.01), and poor correlation with the Marx scale ( = 0.06, = .62). There were no ceiling or floor effects observed. The mean number of items administered by the PROMIS PRO was 4.

Conclusion: These data suggest that for a patient population with operative shoulder osteoarthritis, PROMIS UE and PROMIS PF CAT may be valid alternative PROs. Additionally, PROMIS PF CAT offers a decreased question burden with no ceiling effects.

Outcomes of wrist denervation and core decompression of the radius for Kienbock's disease.

J Hand Microsurg

January 2025

Columbia University Medical Center/New York Presbyterian Hospital, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, 622 West 168th Street, PH-11 Center, New York, NY, United States.

Background: The definitive treatment of Kienbock's disease has yet to be determined. Wrist denervation combined with core decompression of the radius has not been previously studied as a combined treatment for Kienbock's disease.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of simultaneous wrist denervation and core decompression of the radius in the treatment of Kienbock's disease.

Background: Unhealthy substance use (USU) is common and ranges from use above guideline-recommended levels to severe substance use disorder. USU results in substantial morbidity and mortality yet primary care practices rarely systematically screen, diagnose, and treat USU. Supporting Unhealthy Substance use care Through a whole person Approach and user centered INtegration into primary care (SUSTAIN) tests whether the implementation of a co-designed change package for USU improves patient function.

Recovery Time and Success: A Comparative Study of Robotic and Manual Total Hip Arthroplasty Outcomes.

J Arthroplasty

January 2025

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA; Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Newton, MA, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Despite the growing utilization of robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (rTHA), major debate remains regarding its comparative effectiveness in achieving optimal patient outcomes compared to manual total hip arthroplasty (mTHA). This study aimed to compare both the rate and time to achieve minimal clinically important difference (MCID) between rTHA and mTHA.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis comparing 341 rTHAs with a 1:3 propensity score-matched cohort of 1,023 mTHAs performed from 2016 to 2022.

Background: Traditionally, total joint arthroplasty has been performed as an inpatient procedure, sometimes requiring a hospital stay of a few days. However, outpatient total joints have gained popularity in recent years. The purpose of this study is to compare patient outcomes following an outpatient total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in a hospital setting versus an ambulatory surgical center.
