Spearman’S Correlation

This study aimed to verify whether the distance walked is correlated with women's pain level throughout the active phase of labor. METHODOLOGY: We realized an analytic, quasi-experimental intervention study. Study participants were 80 primiparous parturient women, who were admitted during spontaneous labor, with 37-42 weeks, at the start of the active phase. DATA ANALYSIS: Spearman's correlation test. RESULTS: the parturient women walked an average distance of 1,624 meters, 63.09% of the active phase of labor and during an average time of five hours. Pain scores increase along with the advance in cervical dilatation. However, we only found a significant positive correlation when 5cm of dilatation had been reached, that is, the more distance the participants walked, the higher the pain scores they reached.

ABSTRACT Considering that aging leads to losses in postural control and balance, our objective was to analyze the effects of water aerobics on posture alignment and risk of falls in older adults. A quasi-experimental intervention study included 49 older adults in the Intervention Group (IG) and 34 in the Control Group (CG). A plumbed symmetrograph assessed posture alignment, while a Time Up & Go test determined the fall risk. The IG performed water aerobics twice a week for three months. Posture alignment significantly improved in most body segments assessed for the IG, and worsened in the CG. The low risk of falls in the IG increased by 28% in relation to the CG. We concluded that water aerobics improved posture alignment and reduced fall risk in older adults.

Objective: To evaluate the analgesic potential of pregabalin in ambulatory dacryocystorhinostomy surgeries under general anaesthesia. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study. Place and Duration of Study: Tertiary Care Hospital Rawalpindi, from Nov 2019 to Sep 2020. Methodology: A total of 110 patients undergoing ambulatory dacryocystorhinostomy surgery at our hospital were included in the study. Participants were divided into two groups, group A (n=55) were administered 150 mg oral pregabalin, while a placebo was given to participants of group B (n=55). Post-operative pain was assessed at recovery, four and eight hours after surgery with the help of the visual analogue scale. Results: Mean age of participants was 43.05 ± 7.5 years. Gender wise distribution showed 62 (56.4%) males and 48 (43.6%) females. At recovery, four and eight hours after surgery the mean pain scores in group A (pregabalin) vs group B (placebo) were (2.98 ± 0.8 vs 4.98 ± 0.8, p<0.001, 2.67 ± 0.6 vs 5.02 ± 0.8, p<0.001 and 1.49 ± 2.9 vs 2.95 ± 0.8, p<0.001 respectively). Opioid administration frequency in trial versus placebo group was [11 (20%) vs 32 (58.2%), p<0.001]. Conclusion: Pregabalin has analgesic potential moreover decreased postoperative consumption of opioids and associated adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting. Hence making it a suitable agent for pain relief in ambulatory surgeries.
