Functional dependence (FD) is associated with poor postoperative outcomes. We investigated the influence of FD on the postoperative outcomes of colectomy....
The 2012-2020 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was queried for patients who had undergone colectomy for diverticulitis. The patients were analyzed based on FD or functionally independent ...
Of the 62,409 patients 991 (1.6%) were FD. Compared to FI patients, those with FD were older (mean age, 72.7 vs. 59.1 years, p < 0.001), with higher comorbidities and more unplanned open procedures (7...
Dependent functional status is an independent risk factor for complications after surgery for diverticulitis....
Currently, breast cancer is the most prevalent type of cancer affecting women, and the number of newly diagnosed cases continues to increase both in Jordan and globally. Upon receiving a cancer diagno...
This study aims to assess the impact of cancer pain on functional status and quality of life (QOL) among Jordanian women with breast cancer....
A descriptive cross-sectional design and structured interviews were conducted in the Oncology Unit at Al-Bashir Hospital with a sample of 150 eligible Jordanian women with breast cancer who provided d...
A Significant positive correlation (r = 0.342) was found between cancer pain and functional status interference, a significant negative correlation (r = -0.134) between quality of life and functional ...
Breast cancer patients experience alterations in their quality of life as a result of cancer-related pain, which has a detrimental impact on their ability to carry out daily activities and disrupts th...
This study aimed to describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) 3 months and 1 year after stroke, compare HRQoL between dependent (modified Rankin scale [mRS] 3-5) and independent (mRS 0-2) patien...
Patients with a first ischemic stroke or intraparenchymal hemorrhage from the Joinville Stroke Registry were analyzed retrospectively. Using the 5-level version of the EuroQol-5D questionnaire, HRQoL ...
Three months after a stroke, data from 884 patients were analyzed; 72.8% were categorized as mRS 0-2 and 27.2% as mRS 3-5, and the mean HRQoL was 0.670 ± 0.256. At 1-year follow-up, 705 patients were ...
This study described the HRQoL after a stroke in a Brazilian population. This analysis shows that the mRS was highly associated with HRQoL after stroke. Age, sex, diabetes, and hypertension were also ...
This study evaluated the influence of tinnitus and hearing loss on the functional status of military Service members and Veterans....
Participants completed audiologic testing and self-report instruments to assess tinnitus, hearing, and general functioning. We conducted multiple linear regression analyses using cross-sectional data ...
Data were analysed from 283 Service members and 390 Veterans....
After controlling for potential confounders, presence of tinnitus, tinnitus severity, average low-frequency hearing thresholds, and subjective hearing difficulties were significantly associated with f...
These results suggest that tinnitus and poorer low-frequency hearing, and the perceived severity of tinnitus and hearing difficulties, may be associated with poorer functional status among Service mem...
Disability poses a burden for older persons, and is associated with poor outcomes and high societal costs. Prediction models could potentially identify persons who are at risk for disability. An up to...
To identify models developed for the prediction of functional status in community dwelling older persons....
A systematic review was performed including studies of older persons that developed and/or validated prediction models for the outcome functional status. Medline and EMBASE were searched, and referenc...
Forty-three studies were included and reported 167 evaluations of prediction models. The median c-statistic values for the multivariable development models ranged between 0.65 and 0.76 (minimum = 0.58...
No model can be recommended for implementation in practice. However, frailty models appear to be the most promising, because frailty components (e.g. gait speed) and frailty indexes demonstrated good ...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) causes severe respiratory illnesses in infants and older adults. Older adults are frequently hospitalized with RSV illness and may experience loss of function. This s...
Adults ≥60 years hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed RSV were enrolled (N = 302). Demographics and comorbidities were collected. Functional status was assessed 2 weeks pre-hospitalization by recall...
RSV-associated hospitalization resulted in acute functional loss. Median IADL (5 vs. 3, p < 0.0001) and ADL (90 vs. 70, p < 0.0001) scores decreased significantly from pre-hospitalization to adm...
Older adults hospitalized with RSV demonstrate acute functional decline that may become prolonged. Pre-hospitalization living situation may predict patient outcomes. Further study is needed with hospi...
Despite its importance for clinical care and outcomes among older adults, functional status-the ability to perform basic activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADLs (IADLs)-is seldom routi...
Screening tests for body posture defects and abnormalities conducted over the past several decades have revealed a significant and constantly increasing problem of health risks in children. A sedentar...
The effect of sarcopenia, malnutrition, and functional status on immediate post liver transplantation outcome is not well established. Most studies on sarcopenia are related to 1 and 3-year mortality....
We evaluated the effect of preoperative sarcopenia, malnutrition, and functional status on postoperative length of hospital and ICU stay, incidence of complications, and mortality....
In this prospective study conducted on living donor liver transplant recipients, sarcopenia and malnutrition were identified using the psoas muscle thickness to height and the Royal Free Hospital- Nut...
Hospital and ICU length of stay, and duration of mechanical ventilation were greater in sarcopenic versus non-sarcopenic patients (35.9 (14.6) versus 26.7 (10.7) days, P = 0.02; 12.9 (4.8) versus 9.6 ...
In living donor liver transplant recipients, sarcopenia increased hospital and ICU stays, and duration of mechanical ventilation postoperatively. Malnutrition increased ICU stays....
This retrospective study examined the association between nutritional status at admission and functional independence measure (FIM™) at discharge....
This study included 205 patients, aged ≥ 65, discharged from a convalescent ward between April 2017 and March 2018. The primary outcome was discharge FIM...
In the univariate analyses, age, sex, onset-to-admission interval, admission FIM...
Nutritional status on admission did not affect the FIM...
