Project description:The purpose of our study was to prospectively report the clinical results of 280 consecutive hips (240 patients) who received a ReCap Hip Resurfacing System implant (Biomet Inc., Warsaw, USA) in a single district general hospital. Literature reports a large variation in clinical results between different resurfacing designs and published results using this particular design are scarce.Mean follow up was 3.3 years (1.0 to 6.3) and four patients were lost to follow-up. All patients were diagnosed with end-stage hip osteoarthritis, their mean age was 54 years and 76.4% of all patients were male.There were 16 revisions and four patients reported a Harris Hip Score <70 points at their latest follow up. There were no pending revisions. Kaplan-Meier implant survival probability, with revision for any reason as endpoint, was 93.5% at six years follow-up (95%-CI: 88.8-95.3). There were no revisions for Adverse Reactions to Metal Debris (ARMD) and no indications of ARMD in symptomatic non-revised patients, although diagnostics were limited to ultrasound scans.This independent series confirms that hip resurfacing is a demanding procedure, and that implant survival of the ReCap hip resurfacing system is on a critical level in our series. In non-revised patients, reported outcomes are generally excellent.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00603395.

Project description:Background and purpose - The Mitch proximal epiphyseal replacement (PER) was developed to preserve proximal femoral bone and minimize femoral neck fracture associated with hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA). We studied the survival and risk of revision of HRA compared with cementless metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) total hip arthroplasty (THA) and the survival and risk of revision of the Mitch PER compared with MoP THA.Patients and methods - Using propensity score, we matched 1,057 HRA to 1,057 MoP THA and 202 Mitch PER to 1,010 MoP THA from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Register. To estimate the relative risk (RR) of revision, we used regression with the pseudo-value approach and treated death as a competing risk.Results - The cumulative incidence for any revision of HRA at 10 years' follow-up was 11% (95% confidence interval [CI] 9.1-13) and 6.4% (CI 5.8-7.0) for MoP THA. The RR of any revision was 1.5 (CI 1.1-2.1) for HRA at 10 years' follow-up. By excluding the ASR components, the RR of revision at 10 years was 1.2 (CI 0.8-1.7). The cumulative incidence of revision was 9.6% (CI 4.2-18) for Mitch PER and 5.4% (CI 5.1-5.7) for MoP THA at 8 years. The RR of revision was 2.0 (CI 0.9-4.3) for Mitch PER at 8 years' follow-up.Interpretation - The HRA had increased risk of revision compared with the MoP THA. When excluding ASR, the HRA group had similar risk of revision compared with MoP THA. The Mitch PER did not have a statistically significant increased risk of revision compared with MoP THA.

Project description:The preschool years provide a unique window of opportunity to intervene on obesity-related lifestyle risk factors during the formative years of a child's life. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a preschool-based obesity prevention effectiveness trial at 1-year follow-up.RCT.Primarily African American children (aged 3-5 years, N=618) attending Head Start preschool programs administered by Chicago Public Schools.Eighteen preschools were randomly assigned in 2007-2008 to receive either (1) a 14-week teacher-delivered intervention focused on healthy lifestyle behaviors or (2) a 14-week teacher-delivered general health curriculum (control group).The primary outcome, BMI, was measured at baseline, postintervention, and 1-year follow-up. Diet and screen time behaviors were also assessed at these time points. Multilevel mixed effects models were used to test for between-group differences. Data were analyzed in 2014.Significant between-group differences were observed in diet, but not in BMI z-score or screen time at 1-year follow-up. Diet differences favored the intervention arm over controls in overall diet quality (p=0.02) and in subcomponents of diet quality, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index-2005, and in fruit intake (servings/day, excludes juice) (p=0.02). Diet quality worsened more among controls than the intervention group at 1-year follow-up.The adaptation of Hip-Hop to Health Jr. produced modest benefits in diet quality but did not significantly impact weight gain trajectory. Not unlike other effectiveness trials, this real-world version delivered by Head Start teachers produced fewer benefits than the more rigorous efficacy trial. It is important to understand and build upon the lessons learned from these types of trials so that we can design, implement, and disseminate successful evidence-based programs more widely and effectively.This study is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov NCT00241878.

Project description:To study the risk factors for revision of primary total hip replacement (THR) in a US population-based sample.Using Medicare claims, we identified beneficiaries from 29 US states who underwent primary THR between July 1, 1995 and June 30, 1996, with followup through December 31, 2008. Potential cases had International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification codes indicating a revision THR. Each case was matched by state with 1 control THR recipient who was alive and unrevised when the case had a revision THR. We abstracted hospital records to document potential risk factors. We examined the associations between preoperative factors and revision risk using multivariate conditional logistic regression.The analysis data set contained 719 of 836 case-control pairs with complete data for analysis variables. The factors associated with higher revision odds in multivariate models were age ?75 years at primary surgery (odds ratio [OR] 1.52 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.20-1.92]), height in the highest tertile (OR 1.40 [95% CI 1.06-1.85]), weight in the highest tertile (OR 1.66 [95% CI 1.24-2.22]), cemented femoral component (OR 1.44 [95% CI 1.10-1.87]), prior contralateral primary THR (OR 1.36 [95% CI 1.05-1.76]), other prior orthopedic surgery (OR 1.45 [95% CI 1.13-1.84]), and living with others (versus alone; OR 1.26 [95% CI 0.99-1.61]).This first US population-based case-control study of risk factors for revision of primary THR showed that younger, taller, and heavier patients and those receiving a cemented femoral component had a greater likelihood of undergoing a revision THR over a 12-year followup period. Effects of age and body size on revision risk should be addressed by clinicians with patients considering primary THR.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To summarise epidemiological data on the frequency of hip replacements in the countries of the developed world, especially in countries of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and to investigate whether missing consensus criteria for the indication for total hip replacement (THR) result in different replacement rates. METHODS:Country-specific hip replacement rates were collected using the available literature, different data sources of national authorities, and estimates of leading hip replacement manufacturers. RESULTS:According to administrative and literature data sources the reported crude primary THR rate varied between 50 and 130 procedures/100000 inhabitants in OECD countries in the 1990s. The crude overall hip implantation rate, summarising THR, partial hip replacement, and hip revision procedures, was reported to range from 60 to 200 procedures/100000 inhabitants in the late 1990s. Moreover, large national differences were seen in the relationship between total and partial hip replacement procedures. CONCLUSION:The reported differences in hip replacement rates in OECD countries are substantial. They may be due to various causes, including different coding systems, country-specific differences in the healthcare system, in total expenditure on health per capita, in the population age structure, and in different indication criteria for THR.

Project description:BackgroundComprehensive national joint replacement registries with well-validated data offer unique opportunities for examining the potential future burden of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) at a population level. This study aimed to forecast the burden of primary total knee (TKR) and hip replacements (THR) performed for OA in Australia to the year 2030, and to model the impact of contrasting obesity scenarios on TKR burden.MethodsDe-identified TKR and THR data for 2003-2013 were obtained from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry. Population projections and obesity trends were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, with public and private hospital costs sourced from the National Hospital Cost Data Collection. Procedure rates were projected according to two scenarios: (1) constant rate of surgery from 2013 onwards; and (2) continued growth in surgery rates based on 2003-2013 growth. Sensitivity analyses were used to estimate future TKR burden if: (1) obesity rates continued to increase linearly; or (2) 1-5% of the overweight or obese population attained a normal body mass index.ResultsBased on recent growth, the incidence of TKR and THR for OA is estimated to rise by 276% and 208%, respectively, by 2030. The total cost to the healthcare system would be $AUD5.32 billion, of which $AUD3.54 billion relates to the private sector. Projected growth in obesity rates would result in 24,707 additional TKRs totalling $AUD521 million. A population-level reduction in obesity could result in up to 8062 fewer procedures and cost savings of up to $AUD170 million.ConclusionsIf surgery trends for OA continue, Australia faces an unsustainable joint replacement burden by 2030, with significant healthcare budget and health workforce implications. Strategies to reduce national obesity could produce important TKR savings.

Project description:Reduced external knee adduction moments in the second half of stance after total hip replacement have been reported in hip osteoarthritis patients. This reduction is thought to shift the load from the medial to the lateral knee compartment and as such increase the risk for knee osteoarthritis. The knee adduction moment is a surrogate for the load distribution between the medial and lateral compartments of the knee and not a valid measure for the tibiofemoral contact forces which are the result of externally applied forces and muscle forces. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the distribution of the tibiofemoral contact forces over the knee compartments in unilateral hip osteoarthritis patients 1 year after receiving a primary total hip replacement differs from healthy controls. Musculoskeletal modeling on gait was performed in OpenSim using the detailed knee model of Lerner et al. (2015) for 19 patients as well as for 15 healthy controls of similar age. Knee adduction moments were calculated by the inverse dynamics analysis, medial and lateral tibiofemoral contact forces with the joint reaction force analysis. Moments and contact forces of patients and controls were compared using Statistical Parametric Mapping two-sample t-tests. Knee adduction moments and medial tibiofemoral contact forces of both the ipsi- and contralateral leg were not significantly different compared to healthy controls. The contralateral leg showed 14% higher medial tibiofemoral contact forces compared to the ipsilateral (operated) leg during the second half of stance. During the first half of stance, the lateral tibiofemoral contact force of the contralateral leg was 39% lower and the ratio 32% lower compared to healthy controls. In contrast, during the second half of stance the forces were significantly higher (39 and 26%, respectively) compared to healthy controls. The higher ratio indicates a changed distribution whereas the increased lateral tibiofemoral contact forces indicate a higher lateral knee joint loading in the contralateral leg in OA patients after total hip replacement (THR). Musculoskeletal modeling using a detailed knee model can be useful to detect differences in the load distribution between the medial and lateral knee compartment which cannot be verified with the knee adduction moment.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Allergy is a serious and apparently increasing public health problem yet relatively little is known about the types of allergy seen in routine tertiary practice, including their spatial distribution, co-occurrence or referral patterns. This study reviewed referrals over an eleven year period to a regional allergy clinic that had a well defined geographical boundary. For those patients confirmed as having an allergy we explored: (i) differences over time and by demographics, (ii) types of allergy, (iii) co-occurrence, and (iv) spatial distributions. METHODS: Data were extracted from consultant letters to GPs, from September 1998 to September 2009, for patients confirmed as having an allergy. Other data included referral statistics and population data by postcode. Simple descriptive analysis was used to describe types of allergy. We calculated 11 year standardised morbidity ratios for postcode districts and checked for spatial clustering. We present maps showing 11 year rates by postcode, and 'difference' maps which try to separate referral effect from possible environmental effect. RESULTS: Of 5778 referrals, 961 patients were diagnosed with an allergy. These were referred by a total of 672 different GPs. There were marked differences in referral patterns between GP practices and also individual GPs. The mean age of patients was 35 and there were considerably more females (65%) than males. Airborne allergies were the most frequent (623), and there were very high rates of co-occurrence of pollen, house dust mite, and animal hair allergies. Less than half (410) patients had a food allergy, with nuts, fruit, and seafood being the most common allergens. Fifteen percent (142) had both a food and a non-food allergy. Certain food allergies were more likely to co-occur, for example, patients allergic to dairy products were more likely to be allergic to egg.There were age differences by types of allergy; people referred with food allergies were on average 5 years younger than those with other allergies, and those allergic to nuts were much younger (26 Vs 38) than those with other food allergies.There was clear evidence for spatial clustering with marked clustering around the referral hospital. However, the geographical distribution varied between allergies; airborne (particularly pollen allergies) clustered in North Dartmoor and Exmoor, food allergies (particularly nut allergies) in the South Hams, and on small numbers, some indication of seafood allergy in the far south west of Cornwall and in the Padstow area. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows marked geographical differences in allergy referrals which are likely to reflect a combination of environmental factors and GP referral patterns. The data suggest that GPs may benefit from education and ongoing decision support and be supported by public education on the nature of allergy. It suggests further research into what happens to patients with allergy where there has been low use of tertiary services and further research into cross-reactivity and co-occurrence, and spatial distribution of allergy.

Project description:Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure indicated for patients affected by severe hip osteoarthritis. Although this technique has proved to be effective in relieving pain and restoring function, gait limitations may persist following this procedure. The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate gait kinematics after THR and compare the results with those of the pre-operative state and with healthy control individuals. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL and Scopus databases were searched until December 2019. Methodological quality and internal validity score of each study were assessed using the PEDro and the Newcastle-Ottawa scales. In all, ten studies met our inclusion criteria. Following THR, statistically significant improvements were seen in dynamic hip and knee range of motion of both the affected and the contralateral limb, single-limb support time symmetry, step length, stride length, walking speed and gait pattern. However, deficits were observed in all the previous parameters, as well as in hip adduction angle in comparison with healthy subjects. In conclusion, gait patterns improve after THR in comparison with the pre-operative state, although there are deficits relative to healthy individuals.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Sport rehabilitation is a reimbursable intervention assisting reintegration and self-help. In this study, we measured the effects of sport rehabilitation on muscle strength around the hip joint at 1 year after surgery, as well as cardiopulmonary endurance performance and stability of stance, in patients who had undergone a first implantation of a total hip endoprosthesis (total hip replacement, THR) as a treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip. METHODS:160 patients were randomly allotted either to an intervention group with intensive sport rehabilitation for the first year or to a control group. At three time points (baseline, six and twelve months after surgery), measurements were made of muscular strength around the hip joint (with isokinetic dynamometry), stability of stance, and endurance performance. The primary endpoint was the change in strength of the hip extensors, abductors, flexors, and adductors at twelve months after surgery. RESULTS:With respect to the primary endpoint, the results were not significantly better in patients who had received sport rehabilitation than in those who had not. At one year, the patients in the intervention group had less pain as measured by the WOMAC pain score (p = 0.023), though the size of this effect was small (r = 0.27). Health-related quality of life was higher in the intervention group at six months, albeit with a small effect size (p = 0.036, r = 0.25); this was no longer demonstrable at one year. The other parameters studied displayed no significant changes. CONCLUSION:This trial did not demonstrate any significant benefit of sports rehabilitation on functional outcomes in patients who had undergone total hip replacement. Nonetheless, positive trends after the intervention were seen in some parameters. The unexpectedly high dropout rate had been underestimated in the planning phase of the trial; further trials with larger numbers of patients should be performed.
