  Background One in five patients report chronic pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and are considered non-improvers. Psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), combined with exercise therapy and education may contribute to reduced pain an improved function both for patients with OA or after TKA surgery, but the evidence for the effectiveness of such interventions is scarce. This randomized controlled trial with three arms will compare the clinical effectiveness of patient education and exercise therapy combined with internet-delivered CBT (iCBT), evaluated either as a non-surgical treatment choice or in combination with TKA, in comparison to usual treatment with TKA in patients with knee OA who are considered candidates for TKA surgery. Methods The study, conducted in three orthopaedic centers in Norway will include 282 patients between ages 18 and 80, eligible for TKA. Patients will be randomized to receive the exercise therapy + iCBT, either alone or in combination with TKA, or to a control group who will undergo conventional TKA and usual care physiotherapy following surgery. The exercise therapy will include 24 one hour sessions over 12 weeks led by a physiotherapist. The iCBT program will be delivered in ten modules. The physiotherapists will receive theoretical and practical training to advise and mentor the patients during the iCBT program. The primary outcome will be change from baseline to 12 months on the pain sub-scale from the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Secondary outcomes include the remaining 4 sub-scales from the KOOS (symptoms, function in daily living, function in sports and recreation, and knee-related quality of life), EQ-5D-5L, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, the 30-s sit-to-stand test, 40-m walking test and ActiGraph activity measures. A cost-utility analysis will be performed using QALYs derived from the EQ-5D-5L and registry data. Discussion This is the first randomized controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of exercise therapy and iCBT with or without TKA, to optimize outcomes for TKA patients. Findings from this trial will contribute to evidence-based ersonalized treatment recommendations for a large proportion of OA patients who currently lack an effective treatment option.

  Background: Few clinical studies evaluate interventions to reduce oral discomfort among patients in palliative care. Aim: This study examines the efficacy of a Salvia officinalis (SO) based herbal mouth rinse compared to conventional normal saline (NS) in order to improve oral health. Design: A block-randomized controlled trial. Data were collected before and after a 4-day intervention with either SO (n=44) or NS (n=44). Numerical rating scales (NRS, 0-10) and 12 items from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Oral Health 17 (EORTC QLQ-OH17) measured patient-reported oral symptoms. An oral examination was performed before and after the intervention. Setting/participants: This study included adult patients with late-stage cancer in an inpatient hospice unit. Results: Of the 88 patients included (mean age=63.9 years, SD=10.6), 73 (83%) completed the study. At baseline, 78% reported dry mouth on the EORTC QLQ-OH17, and 80% rated dry mouth ≥4 on the NRS. Total oral health scores based on the 12 EORTC QLQ-OH17 items improved similarly in both groups (p

  Background: Moderate/severe pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a poor surgical outcome. Many studies have identified preoperative risk factors of painafter TKA, but studies of the joint contributions of co-occurring symptoms arelacking. Methods: Patients undergoing primary TKA (n=202) were enrolled in a longitu-dinal cohort study. Preoperatively, patients completed questionnaires measuring demographics and symptoms (pain, fatigue, sleep problems and depression). Painwas re-assessed 12 months after TKA. Logistic regression analysis was used to compute the probabilities of moderate-severe pain at 12 months based on preoperative symptom levels, and results were combined into a risk matrix. Results: More than one-third (40%) of patients (n=187) reported moderate-severepain after TKA. Among preoperative risk factors included in the logistic regressionanalyses were age, sex, pain, fatigue, sleep problems and depression. Adjusting forpossible confounders, fatigue (p=0.02) and pain (p=0.01) were significant riskfactors for moderate-severe pain at 12-months follow-up and were retained in the final risk matrix. The co-occurrence of high-preoperative fatigue and pain scores resulted in 57% estimated probability of moderate-severe pain at 12 months.Similarly, the co-occurrence of low-preoperative fatigue and pain scores resulted in14% estimated probability of moderate-severe pain 12 months after TKA. Conclusion: The combination of high fatigue and pain scores prior to surgery was akey risk factor for moderate-severe pain 12 months after TKA. Mapping of these factors could be used preoperatively to identify patients who are at risk to expe-rience a poor outcome of TKA.

  Abstract Introduction One in five patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experience unchanged or worse pain and physical function 1 year after surgery. Identifying risk factors for unfavourable outcomes is necessary to develop tailored interventions to minimise risk. There is a need to review more current literature with updated methodology that addresses the limitations of earlier systematic reviews and meta-analyses. We present a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols compliant protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis of predictors of chronic pain and impaired function after TKA. Methods and analysis This review will include prospective longitudinal observational studies, or randomised trials (including cluster and crossover designs) that report arm-wise predictors of chronic postsurgical pain or impaired physical function at 3 months, 6 months or 12 months. A comprehensive literature search of studies published between 2000 and 2019 will be performed in Medline, Embase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library and PEDro. Blinded assessment with consensus agreement will be applied for inclusion of studies, data extraction and assessment of bias risk (Quality in Prognosis Studies tool). The co-primary outcomes, pain and impaired function, at 12 months after TKA will be analysed separately. Estimates of association between each outcome and any preoperative or intraoperative factor that may predict chronic pain or impaired physical function will be extracted from the included studies, where possible. For randomised studies, results will only be extracted from TKA arms (or the first period of crossover trials). Estimates of association from the primary evidence will be synthesised narratively, and quantitatively using multivariate meta-analysis to provide ‘pooled’ estimates of association. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses will be performed. Certainty of evidence for each predictor will be derived from the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation framework. Ethics and dissemination No ethical issues are associated with this project. The results from this review will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.

  Background To assess whether preoperative radiological severity of osteoarthritis (OA) is related to the level of improvement in patients’ health state measured 1 year after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Radiographic severity of OA was graded using the Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) classification. Two independent observers were blinded to patients’ outcome scores. Health-related quality of life was measured using EQ-5D-3L preoperatively and at 12-month follow-up. The 5 dimensions of the EQ-5D were converted into a health state index score. The association between KL grade and improvement in health state score was analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results Among 156 consecutive patients (68% females, mean age 69 years) who underwent primary TKA, 3 knees (2%) were classified as KL grade 2, 115 as KL grade 3 (74%), and 38 as KL grade 4 (24%). Follow-up rate was 77%. There was substantial intra-rater and inter-rater agreement (Cohen’s kappa = 0.80 and 0.79). Most patients (64%) had clinically significant improvement in their health state score 1 year after TKA. However, after adjusting for relevant covariates, patients with severe OA (KL grade 4) were found to have significantly more improvement in their health state score than patients with mild or moderate OA (KL grade 2 or 3, respectively). Separate analysis of the 5 EQ-5D dimensions showed that the KL group differences were most evident in the “usual activities” and “pain/discomfort” dimensions. Conclusion Patients with severe OA have significantly more improvement in their usual activities and pain/discomfort 1 year after TKA than patients with less severe OA.

  ABSTRACT The purpose of this pilot study was to describe and explore a group-based multifaceted intervention for patients with fatigue after acquired brain injury (ABI). We hypothesised that post-intervention changes would result in reduced fatigue, in addition to improved emotional health, sleep and attentional control. Eight subjects with traumatic brain injury (n = 3) and cerebrovascular insults (n = 5) were included. Inclusion was based upon the presence of fatigue complaints. The participants received 36 hours of intervention. Changes related to fatigue, emotional health and sleep was assessed with self-rating measures. Additionally, a neuropsychological test (Conners’ Continuous Performance Test II) was included as a measure of attentional control. All subjects were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3 and 9 months follow-up. Findings indicated reduced fatigue levels (post-intervention and 3 months follow-up), anxiety (9 months follow-up), and daytime sleepiness (3 and 9 months follow-up). Pilot results suggest that multifaceted group-based interventions may have the potential to alleviate symptoms of fatigue, anxiety and sleepiness after ABI. At an individual level, a low load of psychological distress, insomnia symptoms, dysexecutive symptoms, in addition to a strong sense of self-efficacy, may be central in order to reduce levels of fatigue.
