Abstract Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head is a common complication in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). While functional outcomes of affected patients are good in childhood, it is not clear how they change during the transition to young adulthood. This study determined the relationship between osteonecrosis and hip function, physical function and health status in adolescents and young adults.Methods: We studied 181 patients with a mean age of 19.7 ± 3.8 years with and without osteonecrosis following an open or closed reduction (1995-2005). Patients completed patient-reported outcome measures in 2015/2016 to quantify hip function (maximum score 100); physical function (maximum score 100); and general health status (maximum score 1). We graded all radiographs for subtype of osteonecrosis (Bucholz-Ogden); acetabular dysplasia (centre-edge angle); subluxation (Shenton’s line); and osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence). Analyses were adjusted for the number of previous surgical procedures on the hip and for the severity of residual hip dysplasia.Results: In 149 patients (186 hips) with and without osteonecrosis, the mean differences (95% confidence interval) in hip function, physical function and quality of life were -4.7 (-10.26, 0.81), -1.03 (-9.29, 7.23) and 0.10 (-1.15, 1.18), respectively. Adjusted analyses stratified across types of osteonecrosis showed that only patients with Bucholz-Odgen grade III had reduced hip function (p<0.01) and physical function (p<0.05) but no difference in health-related quality of life when compared to no osteonecrosis. Conclusion: Osteonecrosis secondary to DDH is a relatively benign disorder in adolescents and young adulthood. Affected patients demonstrated minimal physical disability, a normal quality of life but reduced hip function.

While functional outcomes of affected patients are good in childhood, it is not clear how they change during the transition to young adulthood. This study determined the relationship between osteonecrosis and hip function, physical function and health status in adolescents and young adults.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 169 patients with a mean age of 19.7 ± 3.8 years with and without osteonecrosis following an open or closed reduction (1995-2005). We also performed a separate longitudinal evaluation of an historical cohort of 54 patients with osteonecrosis, embedded in this sample.

Abstract Background Osteonecrosis of the femoral epiphysis is a common complication in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). While functional outcomes of affected patients are good in childhood, it is not clear how they change during the transition to young adulthood. This study looks at determining the relationship between osteonecrosis of the femoral head and hip function, physical function and health status in adolescents and young adults treated for DDH.Methods We included 149 patients with a mean (and standard deviation) age of 19.7 (3.8) years with osteonecrosis following an open or closed reduction (1995–2005) and 32 age-matched patients without osteonecrosis. All patients completed valid and reliable patient-reported outcome measures in 2015/16 to quantify their hip function (maximum score 100); physical function (maximum score 100); and general health status (maximum score 1). We graded all radiographs for severity of osteonecrosis (Bucholz-Ogden); acetabular dysplasia (centre-edge angle); subluxation (Shenton’s line); and osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence). We determined the association between the patient-reported outcomes and radiographic severity of osteonecrosis using mixed-effects regression analysis adjusted for age and acetabular dysplasia at study assessment, and number of prior operations.Results In 149 patients (186 hips) with and without osteonecrosis, the mean differences (95% confidence interval) in hip function, physical function and quality of life were − 4.7 (-10.26, 0.81), -1.03 (-9.29, 7.23) and 0.10 (-1.15, 1.18), respectively. Adjusted analysis stratified across radiographic severity of osteonecrosis showed only patients with Bucholz grade III had significantly worse hip function (p < 0.01) and physical function (p < 0.05) but no difference in health-related quality of life when compared to no osteonecrosis.Conclusion Osteonecrosis secondary to DDH is a relatively benign disorder in young adulthood. Affected patients demonstrated minimal physical disability, a normal quality of life but reduced hip function.

Abstract Background Bone metastasis (BM) is the most common site of disease in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. BM impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We tested prospectively the psychometric properties of the Bone Metastasis Quality of Life (BOMET-QoL-10) measure on MBC patients with BM. Methods Patients completed the BOMET-QoL-10 questionnaire, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, and a self-perceived health status item at baseline and at follow-up visits. We performed psychometric tests and calculated the effect size of specific BM treatment on patients´ HRQoL. Results Almost 70% of the 172 patients reported symptoms, 23.3% experienced irruptive pain, and over half were receiving chemotherapy. BOMET-QoL-10 proved to be a quick assessment tool performing well in readability and completion time (about 10 min) with 0–1.2% of missing/invalid data. Although BOMET-QoL-10 scores remained fairly stable during study visits, differences were observed for patient subgroups (e.g., with or without skeletal-related events or adverse effects). Scores were significantly correlated with physician-reported patient status, patient-reported pain, symptoms, and perceived health status. BOMET-QoL-10 scores also varied prospectively according to changes in pain intensity. Conclusions BOMET-QoL-10 performed well as a brief, easy-to-administer, useful, and sensitive HRQoL measure for potential use for clinical practice with MBC patients. Trial registration NCT03847220. Retrospectively registered on clinicaltrials.gov (February the 20th 2019).

Objective: Heart Failure Shared Medical Appointments (HF SMAs) are group visits in which several HF patients are treated by a clinician(s) at the same time. This intervention is a system redesign that addresses growing health system and patient care burdens in chronic HF management. Group visits have been associated with greater adherence to select HF medications and hospitalization-free survival during the intervention. However, there is little data on patient-reported outcomes such as HF-specific health status, an important outcome that quantifies the impact of the patient’s HF on his or her life. The objective of this pilot study is to determine whether HF SMA is associated with a change in HF-specific health status. The short version Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12) measures HF-specific health status, including symptoms, physical and social function, and quality of life. Methods: We retrospectively collected patient characteristics by review of medical records for all patients in a VA hospital that completed the full HF SMA intervention (4 visits across 8 weeks). Each patient completed the KCCQ-12 at the beginning of each clinic visit. The primary outcome was change in KCCQ Summary Score(range 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better health status; 5 points is a clinically meaningful change). The secondary outcome was change in KCCQ subscales. Results: Twenty-eight patients (median age 64, median LVEF 35%) completed all four HF SMA visits. The mean KCCQ at baseline was 51. From pre- to post-SMA, the average change in KCCQ-12 Summary Score was +8 (p=0.001). The Quality of Life Subscale was associated with the greatest change (average change,+15, p=0.0003), followed by Symptom Scale (average change +10, p=0.002). There was no significant change in Social Limitation (average change +6, p=0.08) or Physical Function (average change +2, p=0.48). Conclusions: Preliminary findings suggest that a novel group intervention in patients with HF is associated with mild to moderate clinically significant changes in HF-specific health status. Further, HF SMA appears to specifically improve quality of life and symptoms more than physical function. Future clinical trials will be required to determine how these improvements compare to usual care.

Introduction: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based program to improve secondary prevention outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Lower health-related quality of life is a known risk factor for worse CVD outcomes. We examined the effects of a patient-driven appointment-based CR program on health-related quality of life. Methods: We utilized data from the Yale New-Haven Health (YNHH) CR program over a 6-year period (2012-2017). Data was collected on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and socioeconomic status. The Medical Outcome Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-36) was used to measure general health status. We evaluated SF-36 score changes pre and post CR with paired T-tests and conducted logistic regression analysis to examine predictors of improvements in health-related quality of life. Results: Over the 6-year study period, a total of 2,135 patients (27.9% women, mean age 65±12 years) were enrolled in the CR program. Patients demonstrated significant improvements in both the SF-36 physical, mental and health transition components (P<0.001) (Table) . In particular, patients had significant improvement in the social functioning domain (measures limitations patients see in their ability to participate in social activities due to physical/emotional issues), with an increase of 23.3 points out of 100. Physician-reported patient stress and/or depression on intake medical exam were significant negative predictors for improvement in the total SF-36 score (OR 0.23, 95% CI 0.08-0.80, P=0.021), with the effect driven largely by its impact on the physical component of SF-36 (OR 0.27, 95% CI 0.09-0.83, P=0.022). Conclusion: We demonstrated that a novel appointment-based CR program produced improvements in patient-reported health-related quality of life. Appointment-based CR could be a viable alternative for patients who prefer more scheduling flexibility, to optimize health status improvement and CVD outcomes.
