3. 17. Measurement and prediction of outcome. Application in fusion surgery for chronic low backpain. The Swedish lumbar spine study

   Författare :Olle Hägg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Chronic low back pain; clinical outcome; global assessment; measurement; ; minimal clinically important difference; pain drawing; physical disability; predictors.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Outcome of surgery for chronic low back pain should be documented ina standardised and reproducible fashion to establish evidence of its benefit. Measurement of outcome requires validated instruments, which have the ability to detect functionalchanges perceived as beneficial by the patient. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER
