AI Article Synopsis

  • Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is prevalent in ice hockey and soccer players, and self-reported questionnaires like the Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) are often used to assess athletes' sports activity levels before and after hip surgery, although there’s concern about potential self-reporting bias.
  • The study aimed to compare self-reported HSAS levels to objective data to determine how accurately athletes assess their own sports activity levels post-surgery.
  • Results showed that only 23% of 483 athletes accurately reported their HSAS level, with those misestimating typically rating themselves higher than objective measures; younger athletes and those with shorter symptom duration were more likely to report their HSAS level correctly.

Article Abstract

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is common among ice hockey and soccer players. To evaluate the prevalence of return to sports after hip arthroscopy or level of sports before surgery, self-reported questionnaires such as the Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) are frequently used. There is a risk of self-reporting bias when using these tools.

Purpose: To evaluate how self-reported levels of sports using HSAS correspond to objective data.

Study Design: Cohort study, Level of evidence: 3.

Method: Ice hockey and soccer players undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS between 2011 and 2019 and included in the local hip arthroscopy registry in Gothenburg, Sweden, aged ≥18 years at the time of surgery, with a self-reported HSAS level of 7 or 8 before onset of symptoms, were included. Objective data on level of sports were collected through sports-specific sources (https://football.instatscout.com, https://hockey.instatscout.com, https://www.eliteprospects.com, and Swedish Football Association). Objective data were collected for the corresponding season when the athletes reported their symptom onset. Agreement between subjective and objective data was described using descriptive statistics, and comparison between subgroups was made.

Results: A total of 483 athletes met the inclusion criteria: 80 ice hockey and 403 soccer players. The majority were men (90%). The mean age was 26.5 years (SD, 8.3 years). When comparing HSAS level with objective data, 112 athletes (23%) had a correct self-reported HSAS level. Of 251 athletes with a self-reported HSAS level of 8, 76 (30%) had a matching objective HSAS level, and 36 of 232 (16%) athletes with a self-reported HSAS level of 7 had a matching objective HSAS level. Of the erroneous subjective ratings, 98% were higher than the objective data. Athletes reporting a correct HSAS level were younger (24.6 vs 26.4 years; = .04) and had a shorter symptom duration (18 vs 24 months; < .001). Ice hockey players scored themselves correctly more often than soccer players ( < .001).

Conclusion: Only 23% of athletes undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS self-reported an HSAS level before onset of symptoms that was accurate according to the objectively recorded data. The majority self-reported an HSAS level above their correct level of sports. Ice hockey players, younger age, and shorter symptom duration were associated with correct self-assessment.

Objective: To examine the extent of segregation between hospitals for Medicare beneficiaries by race, ethnicity, and dual-eligible status over time.

Data Sources And Study Setting: We used Medicare inpatient hospital provider data for fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries, and the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care from 2013 to 2021 nationwide, for hospital referral regions (HRRs), and for and hospital service areas (HSAs).

Study Design: We conducted time trend analysis with dissimilarity indices (DIs) for Black (DI-Black), Hispanic (DI-Hispanic), non-White (including Black, Hispanic, and other non-White) (DI-non-White), and dual-eligible (DI-Dual) beneficiaries.

Social anxiety undermines prosocial behaviors when required effort.

Social anxiety impairs interpersonal relationships, which rely heavily on prosocial behaviors essential for healthy social interactions. The influence of social anxiety on the dynamics of helping others, through stages of prosocial choice stimulus presentation and effort, is not well understood. This study combines two experiments that integrate effort-based decision-making tasks with electroencephalography to distinguish between the choice stimulus presentation and effort phases of prosocial behavior.

Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome in High-Level Athletes: A 10-Year Follow-up.

Orthop J Sports Med

Department of Orthopaedics, Institute of Clinical Sciences, Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Background: Arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has previously been reported to have favorable short-term results in high-level athletes. Less is known about long-term outcomes.

Purpose: To report outcomes 10 years after hip arthroscopy for FAIS in high-level athletes using validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Albedo plays a key role in regulating the absorption of solar radiation within ice surfaces and hence strongly regulates the production of meltwater. A combination of Landsat and Sentinel 2 data provides the longest continuous medium resolution (10-30 m) earth surface observatory records. An albedo product (harmonized satellite albedo, hereafter HSA) has already been developed and validated for the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), using harmonized Landsat 4-8 and Sentinel 2 datasets.

Article Synopsis
  • - This study aimed to evaluate the long-term outcomes of hip arthroscopy for treating femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) by analyzing patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) before and at least 10 years after surgery.
  • - Involving 128 patients who had surgery between 2011 and 2013, the study found significant improvements in various PROMs, including patient satisfaction, with 83% reporting they were happy with the results and a 77% rate of avoiding total hip arthroplasty.
  • - The findings suggest that hip arthroscopy for FAIS leads to meaningful and statistically significant improvements in hip function and quality of life over a decade.
