Background: Studies on the feasibility of hip arthroscopy in workers' compensation (WC) patients have been largely inconsistent or limited by study design, necessitating the need for a systematic review.
Purpose: We sought to systematically compare clinically significant differences between WC patients and their counterparts in relation to (1) functional outcomes, (2) complications, and (3) failure rates after hip arthroscopy.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PubMed databases for studies published between January 1996 and February 2021. In combination with "AND" or "OR" Boolean operators, the following keywords were implemented: "hip arthroscopy," "workers' compensation," "outcomes," "complications," "revision," and "failure rates." Two reviewers screened eligible studies, evaluated methodological quality, and abstracted data.
Results: In the 13 studies pooled, comprising 1874 patients, 276 (14.7%) patients received WC benefits. Twelve studies utilized functional outcomes, 2 studies assessed pain, and 3 studies evaluated satisfaction. Despite scoring lower in these measures preoperatively, WC patients demonstrated significant improvements after hip arthroscopy. Three studies linked compensation with marginally inferior functional scores, but this association was not significant at longer follow-up. Seven studies examined complication incidence, and 6 studies addressed failure rates, with all reporting no significant differences in rates of complications, secondary arthroscopies, or conversion to total hip arthroplasty.
Conclusions: The findings of this systematic review suggest that hip arthroscopy offers clinically significant benefits, regardless of WC status. Postoperative results in WC patients, including functional scores, pain, satisfaction, complications, and failure rates, were favorable, and the degree of improvement was at least comparable with their counterparts. Further studies should consider prospective study designs with larger cohorts and extended follow-up.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) represents one of the most severe and advanced stages of cardiovascular disease. Despite the critical importance of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in CHF management, while studies have explored the effectiveness of various CR delivery modes and offered valuable context-specific insights, their relative efficacy remains inconsistent across different patient groups, healthcare environments, and intervention approaches. A clearer understanding requires comprehensive comparisons and in-depth analyses to address these variations.

Background: Stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR) has been reported to be independently and significantly associated with various adverse cardiovascular events as well as mortality. Moreover, in-hospital heart failure following acute myocardial infarction has been demonstrated to account for majority of all heart failure (HF) cases with anterior myocardial infarction showing higher rates of HF. However, the association between SHR and in-hospital HF following an anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been reported earlier.

BMJ Open
December 2024
School of Medicine, Keele University, Keele, UK.
Objective: The proportion of people having home dialysis for kidney disease varies considerably by treating centre, socioeconomic deprivation levels in the area and to some extent ethnicity. This study aimed to gain in-depth insights into cultural and organisational factors contributing to this variation in uptake.
Design: This is the first ethnographic study of kidney centre culture to focus on home dialysis uptake.
Two-year radiological outcome of adult spinal deformity treated with lumbar pedicle subtraction osteotomy or posterior lumbar interbody fusion. A propensity score-matched analysis.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to compare the 2-year radiological outcome and revision rates in patients with ASD treated with either PSO or PLIF, when PLIF was used to improve sagittal balance.
Methods: In 2016, PLIF was introduced at our institution as an alternative method when restoring lumbar lordosis. We analyzed two cohorts of patients with ASD undergoing either: PSO in 2010-2015 or PLIF in 2016-2020, retrospectively.

Liver transplantation is currently recognized as the most effective treatment for severe liver diseases. Although survival rates after liver transplantation have improved, rejection of the transplanted liver remains a significant cause of morbidity and transplant failure in patients. Our team previously discovered a close association between high GBP1 expression and acute rejection reactions following liver transplantation.
