Therapeutic advances in lung cancer have turned attention toward patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as important clinical outcomes. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung (FACT-L) is ...
Adults from the US general population (N = 2001) were surveyed between September 2020 and November 2020. Surveys contained 126 questions, including the FACT-L [36 items; FACT-G and four subscales (Phy...
In the total sample, the reference scores were as follows: PWB = 23.1; SWB = 16.8; EWB = 18.5; FWB = 17.6; FACT-G = 76.0; LCS = 23.0, TOI = 63.7, and FACT-L Total = 99.0. Scores were lower for those r...
These data provide US general adult population reference value set for FACT-L. While some of the subscale results were lower than those found in the reference data for other PROMs, these data were obt...
Normative distribution of serum cystatin C and relationship with sex and age in healthy adult Chinese population is unknown....
This is a prospective cohort study. Adult subjects (18 years of age and older) who underwent annual health examination at the Health Management Center in Sir Run Run Hospital were eligible. Subjects w...
The final analysis included a total of 10,640 subjects (40 ± 12 years, 52% men). The median serum cystatin C concentration was 0.73 mg/L (95% CI 0.52-1.03 mg/L) in the overall analysis, 0.79 (95% CI 0...
The median serum cystatin C concentration was 0.73 (95% CI 0.52-1.03 mg/L) in healthy adult Chinese population, 0.79 (95% CI 0.59-1.07 mg/L) in men, and 0.67 (95% CI 0.49-0.95 mg/L) in women. Elevated...
Bone mineral density (BMD) of the proximal femur helps evaluate bone density in children with reduced mechanical loading of the lower extremities. This study provides the first reference values of bon...
Proximal femur scans of 170 boys and 191 girls obtained from DXA (Lunar Prodigy Pro, GE, and software enCORE version 7.53) were un-analyzed and then re-analyzed with the upgraded software enCORE versi...
Sex and Tanner stage-specific BMD normative data were generated. BMD values of the femoral neck and total hip increased with age and pubertal progression. FNBMAD values were not markedly influenced by...
We established normative reference data for BMD of the proximal femur measured by DXA in Thai children aged 5 to 18 years. Our reference data will help clinicians and researchers assess and interpret ...
Amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) is a bedside neuromonitoring tool, standard within neonatal critical care provision. Its application in children is increasing but normative data und...
This retrospective observational cohort study derives aEEG normative amplitude characteristics from electroencephalograms (EEGs) recorded in Children's Health Ireland at Crumlin. aEEG was derived from...
aEEG amplitudes vary with age and state, increasing over the first 2 years of life before diminishing. Upper and lower margin amplitudes and bandwidth are greater during sleep for children <6 years. R...
aEEG traces evolve with age in childhood and differ from neonatal values. We provide a comprehensive set of aEEG normatives to facilitate clinical interpretation in older children....
In Japan, oral hypofunction has been recognized as a disease since 2018. An alternative to occlusal force testing for assessing oral hypofunction is the evaluation of the number of natural teeth. Subj...
The sample consisted of 184 older adults who visited the Department of Geriatric Dentistry, Showa University Dental Hospital, from July 2018 to January 2020. The subjective masticatory function test (...
A significant correlation (r) was found between the occlusal force test and the Chewing Score 20 (r = 0.526, p < 0.001). The reference value for Chewing Score 20 was < 85. Although the Chewing Score 2...
Herein, a score of < 85 on the subjective masticatory function test was determined to be the optimal quantitative reference. The subjective masticatory function test may be used as an alternative for ...
Over the last decade use of raw acceleration metrics to assess physical activity has increased. Metrics such as Euclidean Norm Minus One (ENMO), and Mean Amplitude Deviation (MAD) can be used to gener...
Wrist-worn accelerometer data from 10 studies involving youth aged 5 to 15 y were pooled. Weekday and weekend waking hours were first calculated for youth in school Years (Y) 1&2, Y4&5, Y6&7, and Y8&9...
The analytical sample included 1250 participants. Physical activity peaked between ages 6.5-10.5 y, depending on metric. For all metrics the highest activity levels occurred in less active participant...
Percentile reference values for average acceleration, intensity gradient, and MX metrics have utility in describing age- and sex-specific values for physical activity volume and intensity in youth. Th...
Measurement of hand grip strength (HGS) has been proposed as a key component of frailty and has also been suggested as a central biomarker of healthy aging and a powerful predictor of future morbidity...
(a) To determine whether a nonlinear relationship model could improve the prediction of handgrip strength (HGS) compared to the linear model and (b) to propose percentiles to evaluate HGS according to...
A cross-sectional descriptive study was developed in a representative sample of the Maule region (Chile). The volunteers amounted to 5,376 participants (2,840 men and 2,536 women), with an age range f...
There were no differences in HGS from 6 to 11 years of age in both sexes; however, from 12 years of age onwards, males presented higher HGS values in both hands (...
The human skull serves as an essential material for facial reconstruction. In particular, the petrous part of the temporal bone is vital due to its compact structure, which can resist mechanical force...
B-mode ultrasound is versatile and safe. The sequelae of aortic disorders in children range from stunted growth in hypoplasia to 90% fatality in ruptured aneurysms. Thus, age-based reference values ar...
To create age-based reference values of paediatric aorta diameters from B-mode ultrasound using the outer-to-outer method....
A retrospective review was done of records of peak systolic anteroposterior aortic diameters, obtained during abdominal ultrasound in children ages 2 days to 17 years between January 2016 and December...
A total of 643 cases (49% female) were recruited into the study. Only 488 cases (76%) had values for the proximal, mid and distal aorta. The cumulative mean age was 9.5±5.1 years while the mean aortic...
An age-based paediatric aortic reference table from B-mode ultrasound using outer-to-outer measurement in a Nigerian population is reported....
For correction of leg-length discrepancy or angular deformity of the lower limb in skeletally immature patients temporary or permanent (hemi-)epiphysiodesis can be employed. These are reliable treatme...
A retrospective analysis of calibrated longstanding anteroposterior radiographs of 254 skeletally immature patients with a chronological age ranging from 8 to 16 years was conducted. The following rad...
All observed radiographic parameters were normally distributed with a mean age of 12.4 years (standard deviation [SD] 2, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12.2-12.6). Mean femoral floor angle was 142° (SD ...
This study provides new radiographic reference values of the central knee anatomy for children between 8 and 16 years and we suggest considering values within the range of 2 SD as the physiological ra...
