Article Abstract
General population-based cohort studies provide solid evidence on mass Helicobacter pylori (HP) eradication effects. Self-reported questionnaires are occasionally used in such studies to ascertain the HP eradication history. However, reports on the reliability of these questionnaires are lacking. This general population-based cohort study included 899 individuals with HP infection at the baseline survey who were reported to have eradicated it at the 5-year follow-up survey. Of these, the medical records of 280 patients were available for investigation, and the HP eradication status of 93 individuals was ascertained. Their medical records were reviewed, and the reliability of the self-reported questionnaire responses was assessed. Of the 91 individuals who successfully eradicated HP based on the medical records, 90 (98.9%) answered the self-reported questionnaire correctly, with an unweighted kappa value of 0.661 (p < 0.001). The difference between the self-reported and medical records age at eradication was within a 1-year range in most participants (86.8%). Similarly, the HP eradication procedure and the outcomes were reasonably matched. In conclusion, the responses to the self-reported HP eradication questionnaire were almost consistent with the medical records. Thus, HP eradication history assessment by a self-reported questionnaire is reliable for an epidemiological study in the general population.

Self-reported diagnoses of dietary allergens and fecundability in a North American cohort.
Hum Reprod
December 2024
Department of Epidemiology, Boston University School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA.
Study Question: To what extent are self-reported diagnoses of food allergies associated with fecundability, the per-cycle probability of conception?
Summary Answer: Fecundability was not appreciably associated with self-reported food allergy diagnoses, number of food allergies, age at first diagnosis, or time since last allergic reaction.
What Is Known Already: Food allergies are atopic diseases that are characterized by an inappropriate immune response to a normally harmless dietary substance. While some studies have observed associations between atopic disorders and infertility, no study has examined the association between food allergies and fecundability, the per-cycle probability of conception.

Department of Rheumatology, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Objectives: To evaluate the short and long term effects of an online, interactive, multifactorial lifestyle intervention program (Leef! Met Reuma) on health risk and all ICHOM-recommended patient reported outcome measures(PROMs) in patients with an Inflammatory Arthritis(IA), OsteoArthritis(OA) or FibroMyalgia(FM).
Methods: Patients with an IA, OA or FM, could register for the lifestyle intervention program. The program consists of a 3-month intensive part followed by a 21-month aftercare period and focuses on 4 pillars, namely nutrition, exercise, relaxation and sleep.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to establish more evidence to provide the clinicians with a greater knowledge on the patient reported outcomes and quality of life (QoL) after laparoscopic appendectomy (LA).
Method: 105 patients who had undergone LA for acute appendicitis regardless of severity, were included prospectively at Odense University Hospital, Svendborg. The patient reported consequence of surgery were assessed through the validated electronic survey from European-QoL questionnaire (5Q-5D-5L) including a self-reported VAS-score (0-100).

Purpose: The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) is the cornerstone of clinical research for surgical disciplines, but the use in daily routine can be challenging. One of the most widespread PROMS in knee surgery is the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the potential correlation of the IKDC score with a patient's subjective assessment of the knee using a single question.
