Abstract The main goal of the study was to determine the factors associated with dependence to perform instrumental activities of daily living in the elderly. A population-based case-control study was conducted, with 180 elderly people from Passo Fundo-RS, 2014. The cases were represented by 60 individuals aged ≥ 60 years, dependents to perform instrumental activities of daily living residents of the urban area of the city. The controls were represented by 120 individuals, not dependents to perform instrumental activities of daily living, residents of the urban area of the city. Crude and multivariate analysis using Poisson regression were performed to test the association between the outcome and the independent variables, estimating the crude and adjusted odds ratios (OR) and calculating the 95% confidence intervals respectively. All the variables with p ≤ 0.20 were included in the final model. Remained statistically significant after adjusted analysis: being aged 80 years or more (OR = 1.76; CI95%: 1.01-3.08), having studied from 1 to 4 years (OR = 2.36; CI95%: 1.35-4.14), being illiterate (OR = 2.98; CI95%: 1.52-5.84), having Parkinson’s disease (OR = 2.44; CI95%: 1.39-4.29) and the presence of cognitive impairment (OR = 1.88; CI95%: 1.30-2.72).

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION No research has been found regarding outcomes of dermoscope-guided surgical procedures in primary care. AIM To establish whether outcomes of dermoscope-guided procedures performed in primary care settings differ from outcomes for similar procedures, performed without the use of a dermoscope. METHODS A retrospective case-control study design was used. All records of dermoscope-guided procedures performed over a 6-month period were retrieved. For each study procedure, the record of the most recent control procedure without dermoscopy guidance performed on a sex-and-age matched patient was retrieved from before we began performing dermoscope-guided procedures. Primary outcomes were: local inflammation and infections within 2 weeks’ post procedure; relapse in 6 months; and obvious scars in 6 months. Pain affecting activities of daily living in the first week after the procedure was the secondary outcome. RESULTS Records of 39 dermoscope-guided procedures and 39 control procedures were retrieved. No significant difference in local inflammation and infections in 2 weeks was found; relapse in 6 months after the study procedures was significantly lower for dermoscope-guided than control procedures (risk ratio (RR): 0.22; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.05–0.95), and there were fewer obvious scars for dermoscope-guided procedures than control procedures (RR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.32–0.83), with the number of small lesions (<4 mm) leaving scars in study procedures particularly less than that for control procedures (RR: 0.30; 95% CI: 0.13–0.67). There was no difference in the secondary outcome of pain affecting activities of daily living in the first week following the procedure. CONCLUSION In primary care, dermoscope-guided procedures achieved better outcomes than similar procedures without dermoscope guidance. Performing dermoscope-guided procedures in primary care might lower medical costs.

ObjectiveFootball players are at risk of developing hip osteoarthritis (OA). Cam morphology (present in almost two of every three football players) may explain this heightened risk, but there is limited research on its role in hip OA development in younger athletes. Knowledge of this relationship will advance our understanding of the aetiology of hip OA in football players. We aimed to study the relationship between cam morphology size and MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears, and if this relationship differs by symptomatic state in young adult football players.MethodsFor this case–control study, 182 (288 hips) symptomatic (hip and/or groin pain >6 months and positive flexion-adduction-internal-rotation (FADIR) test) and 55 (110 hips) pain-free football players (soccer or Australian football) underwent anteroposterior and Dunn 45° radiographs, and 3-Tesla MRI. Cam morphology size was defined using alpha angle, and cartilage defects and labral tears were scored semiquantitatively. Presence, location and score (severity) of cartilage defects and labral tears were determined. Each participant completed the International Hip Outcome Tool 33 and Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score.ResultsGreater alpha angle was associated with cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04) and labral tears (OR 1.02, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.04). Greater alpha angle was associated with superolateral cartilage defects (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05) and superior labral tears (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.05). The association of alpha angle with MRI-defined cartilage defects and labral tears was no greater in football players with symptoms than in those without (p=0.189–0.937)ConclusionCam morphology size was associated with cartilage defects and labral tears in young adult football players with and without pain. This study provides evidence that cam morphology may contribute to the high prevalence of hip OA in football players. Prospective studies of football players are now needed to establish if cam morphology causes progression of cartilage defects and labral tears and development of hip OA.
