Aims The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of patients on the waiting list for a total hip (THA) or knee arthroplasty (KA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary aims were to assess whether length of time on the waiting list influenced quality of life and rate of deferral of surgery. Methods During the study period (August and September 2020) 843 patients (THA n = 394, KA n = 449) from ten centres in the UK reported their EuroQol five dimension (EQ-5D) scores and completed a waiting list questionnaire (2020 group). Patient demographic details, procedure, and date when listed were recorded. Patients scoring less than zero for their EQ-5D score were defined to be in a health state “worse than death” (WTD). Data from a retrospective cohort (January 2014 to September 2017) were used as the control group. Results The 2020 group had a significantly worse EQ-5D score compared to the control group for both THA (p < 0.001) and KA (p < 0.001). Over one-third (35.0%, n = 138/394) of patients waiting for a THA and nearly a quarter (22.3%, n = 100/449) for KA were in a health state WTD, which was significantly greater than the control group (odds ratio 2.30 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.83 to 2.93) and 2.08 (95% CI 1.61 to 2.70), respectively; p < 0.001). Over 80% (n = 680/843) of the 2020 group felt that their quality of life had deteriorated while waiting. Each additional month spent on the waiting list was independently associated with a decrease in quality of life (EQ-5D: -0.0135, p = 0.004). There were 117 (13.9%) patients who wished to defer their surgery and the main reason for this was health concerns for themselves and or their family (99.1%, n = 116/117). Conclusion Over one-third of patients waiting for THA and nearly one-quarter waiting for a KA were in a state WTD, which was approaching double that observed prior to the pandemic. Increasing length of time on the waiting list was associated with decreasing quality of life. Level of evidence: Level III retrospective case control study

Connective Tissue Massage

Background:Fibromyalgia (FM) is a systemic rheumatic disease characterized by diffuse pain in the body, tenderness, fatigue and many more symptoms. Exercise is effective and safe method in individuals with FM. Connective tissue massage, another treatment method, is a reflex therapy where shear force is applied in a certain order at the connective tissue interfaces of the skin. In the literature, there is limited study releted compared with clinical pilates exercises and connective tissue massage in individuals with FM.Objectives:The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of clinical pilates exercises and connective tissue massage in Individuals with Fibromyalgia on disease activity, number of painful regions, anxiety, biopsychosocial status and quality of life.Methods:32 women (age mean=52.43±8.32) diagnosed with FM according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria were included in this study. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as interventional group (n=15, mean age=48.80±7.48) and control group (n=17, mean age=55.64±7.87). While the connective tissue massage and clinical pilates exercises were applied to the treatment group, only clinical pilates exercises were applied to the control group. After the demographic characteristics and disease related data of the individuals were recorded; number of painful regions were assessed with Pain Location Inventory (PLI), disease impact with Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnare (FIQ), functional status with Health Assessment Questionnare (HAQ), anxiety with Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), quality of life with Short Form-36 (SF-36) and biopsychosocial status with Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY) Scale were evaluated. All evaluations were made before and after treatment. All interventions were applied 3 days per week for 6 weeks by the same experienced physical therapist. One session for clinical pilates exercises consisted of 60 minutes (10 minutes warm up, 40 minutes clinical pilates exercises, 10 minutes cool-down). Connective tissue massage was started from lumbosacral region and continued lower thoracic, scapular, interscapular, and cervical regions, respectively. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test was used to determine whether the continuous variables were normal distributions.Results:When the pre-treatment and post-treatment results are analyzed; the results were significant in the intervention group of PLI (p = 0.007), SF 36 physical component (p = 0.025) and mental component (p = 0.017) and FIQ (p = 0.004), while in the control group the difference in SF 36 physical component (p = 0.008) and mental component (p = 0.024), FIQ (p = 0.001) and BAI (p = 0.043) was significant. Delta values were calculated by subtracting post-treatment results from pre-treatment results. When the delta values of the groups are compared, it was determined that the difference only in the PLI (p = 0.023) were significant in favor of the treatment group.Conclusion:According to our results, connective tissue massage has been shown to be effective in reducing the number of painful areas in addition to the positive effects of clinical pilates exercises in individuals with FM. In order to increase the effectiveness of treatment in individuals with FM, we recommend the use of connective tissue massage as an additional treatment method.References:[1]Busch, Angela J., et al.

Abstract Background Patients with CHF were the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 pandemic. Given to reduce hospitalizations and outpatient appointments, remote monitoring of CHF patients using a mobile application in response to the COVID-19 pandemic has proven particularly relevant, providing continuous specialized medical care and ensuring social distancing. Purpose To study the clinical effectiveness of the implementation of a mobile application for remote monitoring of patients with CHF compared with standard practice during the COVID-19 pandemic in a mountainous country. Methods ERICA-HF is a randomized, controlled, open-label study. Were included patients with verified CHF III FC (NYHA) with randomization to the main group of remote monitoring of patients using a mobile application + standard treatment (n=200) or to the control group on standard outpatient follow-up at the place of residence (n=100), for 12 months. The assessment of the clinical course of CHF is carried out on the basis of clinical indicators that allow assessing the current state of patients, depending on the quantitative assessment of deviations above or below the threshold values, consisting of seven points: shortness of breath, position in bed, heartbeating, edema, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, which the patient fills twice a week, with the possibility of automatically notifying the doctor and the patient. The application is equipped with two-way feedback in the form of structured telephone support and online chat. Quality of life assessment according to the Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire, the ability to self-control according to the scale EHFScBS_9. The primary outcome is the percentage of unplanned rehospitalizations for HF decompensation, quality of life, mortality from CHF. The main secondary outcomes are cost-effectiveness and adherence to treatment. Results During the COVID-19 pandemic, 209 patients on remote monitoring with CHF from all regions (63% men, age 65±11 years) were observed by coordinating cardiologists, 24 of them got sick with COVID-19, 7 received hospital treatment due to the development of HF decompensation, pneumonia and respiratory failure, 3 died of pneumonia. 9 participants dropped out of the study due to Internet traffic interruptions. 95% of patients noted high compliance, confidence, gave a positive assessment and use of the mobile application. Conclusion Remote monitoring using a mobile application was an effective means of managing patients with CHF in socially isolation. This suggests that remote monitoring using a smart phone can be a good alternative to outpatient practice, which we have demonstrated in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the relatively low cost can greatly facilitate the implementation of remote monitoring programs using a mobile application.

BACKGROUND Baduanjin has been applied in health and rehabilitation and gained a growing number of practitioners both in home and abroad.To explore the effect of home based and video guided PR training, our research determined to evaluate Baduanjin on moderate COPD patients and explore its synergy effect with IMT in inducing improvement in pulmonary function, exercise capacity and quality of life. OBJECTIVE We cooperated Baduanjin as a pulmonary rehabilitation intervention for patients with moderate COPD. We evaluated its efficiency on pulmonary function, exercise capacity, quality of life in moderate COPD patients. METHODS This was a multi-centered, prospective, randomized controlled trial. Moderate COPD patients were collected from ten hospitals in Shanghai. After a two-week run-in period, all eligible participants were randomly assigned into Baduanjin training group, Tri-Ball® Respiratory training group, Baduanjin combined with respiratory training group and control group. The outcome assessments were conducted at four time points, namely at the 4th week and 8th week during the intervention, after 12-week pulmonary rehabilitation program and 3-month follow up. RESULTS A total of 240 participants were recruited in this study. 217 moderate COPD patients were analyzed in this study. After 12-week PR intervention, improvement was noticed in pulmonary function (FEV1%), exercise capacity (6MWD) and quality of life (CAT, SGRQ and T.C.M score) in Baduanjin training group when compared to the control group (P<0.05). Combining Baduanjin with additional inspiratory muscle training exerted better result than Banduanjin or inrespiratory muscle training alone (P<0.05). Improved performances after 12-week PR intervention were maintained after 3-month follow up in this research. Compared with the control group, drastically more percentage of participants with mMRC≤2 in combination training group was observed (mMRC≤2, 55(100%) vs 44(83.02%); mMRC＞2, 0(0%) vs 9 (16.98%), P＜0.01). CONCLUSIONS The results of this trial suggested that, Baduanjin training, as a simple daily pulmonary rehabilitation maneuver, could prevent the deterioration of pulmonary function in COPD patients and associated with improvement in exercise capacity and quality of life. CLINICALTRIAL The study protocol has been registered with the Clinical Trial Registry (NCT03892629).

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the effects of a 12-week high-intensity interval exercise (HIIT) training program involving suspension exercises (TRX) on the muscle strength, body composition, gait speed, and quality of life of older adults. A total of 82 older adults were randomly assigned to 3 groups: a HIIT group (n=28), a continuous intensity training group (MIIT group, n=27), or a control group (CG, n=27). Compared to MIIT and CG, participants of the HIIT group showed significant post-intervention improvements in BMI (p=.002 and p<.001, respectively) and gait speed (p<.001 for both). Handgrip strength increase was also observed after HIIT (p=.002), but no differences were observed with MIIT and CG. Compared with MIIT and control groups, HIIT showed improvements in the SF-36 domains: general health (p<.001 for both) health changes (p<.001 for both), vitality (p=.002 and p=.001 respectively) and physical functioning (p=.036 and p<.001 respectively). Our results suggest that a HIIT training program with TRX have benefits in BMI, handgrip strength, gait speed, and quality of life in older adults.

ABSTRACTBackground:The main objective of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis to identify the effects of reminiscence therapy in people with dementia (PWD).Methods:A systematic search of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted using bibliographic databases. A total of 157 original published studies were identified in the search, and 24 complete articles were included in the final review to check for the level of evidence. Two of the study authors independently assessed the quality of the included studies using the “Risk of Bias” (ROB) tool developed by the Cochrane Collaboration. Depression, quality of life, and behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) were selected to measure the effect of reminiscence therapy. To determine the effects of reminiscence therapy on these variables, each individual study was analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software® (Biostat, Englewood, NJ, USA).Results:The overall effect size was presented using standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals. Cohen’s d effect size for depression was −0.541 (95% CI: −0.847 to −0.234, Z = −3.730, p<0.001), indicating that depression was significantly reduced in the reminiscence group compared to the control group. Increased quality of life and decreased BPSD were also found in the reminiscence group compared to the control group.Conclusion:Reminiscence therapy has a moderate effect on depression and can be broadly used to decrease depression as an alternative to antipsychotics, which can have harmful side effects and high cost.

Protocol Study

The aim of this article is to present the research protocol for a prospective cohort study that will assess the olfactory function and the effect of an intervention based on olfactory training in healthy very old adults (≥75 years old). A convenience sample of 180 older people (50% female) will be recruited in three different environments: hospitalized control group (CH) with stable acute illness (n = 60); ambulatory control group (CA) of community-based living (n = 60); and an experimental odor training group (EOT) from nursing homes (n = 60). The odor training (OT) intervention will last 12 weeks. All the volunteers will be assessed at baseline; CA and EOT groups will also be assessed after 12 weeks. The primary end point will be change in olfactory capacity from baseline to 12 weeks period of intervention or control. The intervention effects will be assessed with the overall score achieved in Sniffin Sticks Test (SST) – Threshold, Discrimination, and Identification (TDI) extended version. Secondary end points will be changes in cognitive tasks, quality of life, mood, immune status, and functional capacity. All these measurements will be complemented with an immune fitness characterization and a deep proteome profiling of the olfactory epithelium (OE) cultured ex vivo. The current study will provide additional evidence to support the implementation of olfactory precision medicine and the development of immunomodulatory nasal therapies based on non-invasive procedures. The proposed intervention will also intend to increase the knowledge about the olfactory function in very elderly people, improve function and quality of life, and promote the recovery of the health.
