  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.

  Objectives One in five patients does not improve in pain with walking (non-responders) 12 months after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This longitudinal study investigated a broad range of symptoms before and after TKA and evaluated possible differences in symptom distress between responders and non-responders with regards to pain with walking after TKA. Methods Prior to TKA surgery, 182 patients completed a demographic questionnaire and the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale—Short Form (MSAS-SF). The MSAS-SF was repeated 12 months following TKA. Clinical data were extracted from medical records. Patients were categorized as responders or non-responders based on their trajectories of pain with walking assessed prior to surgery, on postoperative day 4, at 6 weeks, and at 3 and 12 months. Results Overall, the most distressful preoperative symptoms were pain, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, feeling drowsy, worrying, feeling bloated, and problems with sexual interest or activity. However, compared with patients classified as responders to TKA, non-responders had higher total symptom distress scores both preoperatively and 12 months postoperatively. Preoperatively, non-responders scored higher than responders on five of the seven most distressing symptoms (i.e., all except difficulty sleeping and feeling bloated), and 12 months postoperatively, non-responders scored higher than responders on six of the seven most distressing symptoms (i.e., all but feeling bloated). In a multivariate analysis, higher preoperative distress scores for pain and problems with sexual interest or activity were significant predictors of non-response to TKA, controlling for other relevant factors. Conclusions Patients’ preoperative symptom burden may be a useful indicator of their risk for nonimprovement following TKA surgery. Future studies need to evaluate the effect of reducing patients’ preoperative symptom burden on TKA outcomes

  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 PURPOSE: To explore the relationship between illness perceptions and self-reported general health of patients with chronic heart disease, using some core elements from the Common Sense Model. METHODS: Patients with heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] Functional Class I-III) from five outpatient clinics in Eastern Norway were invited to participate in this cross-sectional study. Two research nurses collected socio-demographic data (age, sex, education and work status) and standardized questionnaires in structured interviews. Patients' self-reported general health was measured with the Euro-Qual Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), illness perceptions were measured with the 8-item Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and mood was assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. RESULTS: Among the 220 patients who were recruited into this study (98% response rate), the mean age was 67.5 years (SD ± 12.5), and 65.9% were men. Patients were classified as NYHA Class I (8.7% with no activity limitations), Class II (47.6% with slight limitations), or Class III (43.8% with marked limitations). Mean EQ-VAS score was 58.8 (SD ± 21.0). Three of the eight perception of illness items (consequences, personal control and identity) were associated with the patients' general health rating, controlling for their NYHA Class, mood and other BIPQ items. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that patients' perceptions of their illness have an independent and substantial relationship to the self-rated general health of patients with chronic heart failure. Peoples' illness perceptions are beliefs that have been shown to be modifiable in clinical interventions. Thus, targeted interventions aimed to modify these, such as patient education courses, ought to be developed and tested, as they may be helpful for improving perceived health status.

  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. KEYWORDS: Fatigue, cognitive rehabilitation, brain injury, goal management, self-efficacy

  Introduction: Fatigue during the acute phase following stroke has been shown to predict long-term physical health, specifically increased bodily pain and poorer self-rated general health. The aim of this analysis was to determine whether acute phase fatigue also predicts patients’ level of functioning with respect to activities of daily living (ADL) 18 months after first stroke. Methods: Patients with first-ever stroke (n=88) were recruited upon admission at two hospitals in Norway. Patients were assessed within 2 weeks following admission and at 18 months using the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (BI), Fatigue Severity Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory II. The relationship between acute-phase fatigue and later ADL impairment (BI<20) was evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis controlling for relevant covariates and acute-phase ADL functioning. Results: Acute-phase fatigue was associated with ADL impairment at 18-month follow-up (p=.006), even when controlling for other predictors of ADL functioning, including age, gender, baseline work status, and acute-phase depressive symptoms and ADL function. Examining the reverse relationship, acute-phase ADL function was unrelated to fatigue 18 months after stroke. Conclusions: Our study indicates that acute-phase fatigue may be an independent risk factor for ADL impairment 18 months after stroke. The finding indicates that effective treatments for post-stroke fatigue both in the acute-phase and later in the recovery period may contribute to better stroke rehabilitation.

  Цель исследования. Установить взаимосвязь комплекса социально-демографических, когнитивных, клинических и хирургических факторов с интенсивностью и динамикой болевого синдрома в течение первых трех суток после тотального эндопротезирования коленного сустава. Материал и методы. В исследование было включено 100 больных гонартрозом (93 (93%) женщин и 7 (7%) мужчин), средний возраст которых составил 63,5 ± 7,8 лет, госпитализированных для первичного тотального эндопротезирования коленного сустава. С использованием специализированных тестов перед проведением хирургического вмешательства проведена детализированная оценка различных показателей болевого синдрома, выраженности клинических проявлений гонартроза и функционального состояния коленного сустава, параметров повседневной двигательной активности и качества жизни пациентов, особенностей сопутствующих заболеваний. Результаты. Все анализируемые показатели болевого синдрома прогрессивно уменьшались в течение трех дней после операции (р<.001), в том числе количество ежедневных часов умеренной и сильной боли (р<.001). У женщин болевой синдром был более выражен, чем у мужчин (р=.009). Из проанализированных предоперационных факторов достоверная положительная взаимосвязь была продемонстрирована для уровня тревожности (р=.029), интенсивности болевого синдрома (р=.029) и высокого уровня двигательной активности пациента (р=.012). Среди периоперационных факторов только продолжительность вмешательства более 90 минут коррелировала с интенсивностью боли (р=.008). Характеристики послеоперационного болевого синдрома не зависели от уровня образования пациента, социального или семейного статуса, вида занятости, особенностей образа жизни, а также каких-либо прочих клинических или лабораторных переменных. Вывод. Из многочисленных факторов, которые ассоциированы с уровнем послеоперационного болевого синдрома, только пол, тревожность и более высокий уровень предоперационной боли достоверно подтвердили свою значимость. Среди периоперационных факторов следует выделить продолжительность операции, которая зависела от вида имплантата, и была достоверно ассоциирована с высоким уровнем послеоперационной боли.

  PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe the course of post-stroke depression (PSD) during the first 18 months after first-ever stroke and to examine differences in the course of depressive symptoms in relation to patient demographic and clinical characteristics in the acute phase. METHODS: As part of a longitudinal cohort study, data were collected from medical records and in face-to-face interviews using standardized questionnaires within 15 days after stroke and 6, 12 and 18 months later. The sample consisted of 94 patients with first-ever stroke. PSD was measured with the Beck Depression Inventory II. Repeated measures analysis of variance was used to evaluate the course of depressive symptoms over time and in relation to demographic and clinical variables. RESULTS: Depression levels were stable during the 18 months after first-ever stroke. However, depression scores were significantly higher among patients who had lower physical functioning in the acute phase, were living alone or were not employed at the time of stroke. CONCLUSIONS: Several demographic and acute phase factors were associated with a more severe PSD course following stroke. Psychosocial support that begins in the acute phase and continues throughout the rehabilitation process may be helpful in improving both physical and psychological outcomes following stroke. Implications for Rehabilitation Depression levels are stable during the first 18 months after first-ever stroke. The course of post-stroke depression is related to the level of physical functioning in the acute phase, whether the stroke survivors live alone and their employment status at the time of stroke. Psychological support that begins in the acute phase and continues throughout the rehabilitation process may be helpful in improving both physical and psychological outcomes following stroke.

  CONTEXT: To accurately investigate diurnal variations in fatigue, a measure needs to be psychometrically sound and demonstrate stable item function in relationship to time of day. Rasch analysis is a modern psychometric approach that can be used to evaluate these characteristics. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate, using Rasch analysis, the psychometric properties of the Lee Fatigue Scale (LFS) in a sample of oncology patients. METHODS: The sample comprised 587 patients (mean age 57.3±11.9 years, 80% female) undergoing chemotherapy for breast, gastrointestinal, gynecological, or lung cancer. Patients completed the 13-item LFS within 30 minutes of awakening (i.e., morning fatigue) and prior to going to bed (i.e., evening fatigue). Rasch analysis was used to assess validity and reliability. RESULTS: In initial analyses of differential item function, eight of the 13 items functioned differently depending on whether the LFS was completed in the morning or in the evening. Subsequent analyses were conducted separately for the morning and evening fatigue assessments. Nine of the morning fatigue items and 10 of the evening fatigue items demonstrated acceptable goodness-of-fit to the Rasch model. Principal components analyses indicated that both morning and evening assessments demonstrated unidimensionality. Person separation indices indicated that both morning and evening fatigue scales were able to distinguish four distinct strata of fatigue severity. CONCLUSION: Excluding four items from the morning fatigue scale and three items from the evening fatigue scale improved the psychometric properties of the LFS for assessing diurnal variations in fatigue severity in oncology patients.

  Abstract Objectives This pilot study aimed to describe the sleep of partners and other family caregivers prior to and in the first year after a hospice patient's death. The study also evaluated the feasibility of the study protocol and determined the effect sizes in preparation for a full-scale study. Design The pilot study used a longitudinal, descriptive and comparative design. Setting and participants Participants included primary family caregivers of patients admitted to a hospice in Oslo, Norway. Primary outcome Caregiver sleep was measured subjectively with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and objectively using wrist actigraphy for 4 nights and 3 days at three different times: during the hospice stay, and at 6 and 12 months after the patient's death. Results 16 family caregivers (10 partners and 6 other family members) completed the 1-year study protocol. Overall, sleep quality and quantity were stable over time and at each assessment, approximately half of the sample had poor sleep quality, both by self-report and objective measures. However, the sleep trajectories differed significantly over time, with older caregivers (≥65 years) having significantly longer sleep durations than younger caregivers (<65 years). Furthermore, sleep quality also differed over time depending on the caregiver's relationship to the patient, with partner caregivers having significantly worse sleep quality than other family caregivers. Conclusions Caring for a dying family member is known to interfere with sleep, yet little is known about bereaved caregivers. The results of this pilot study demonstrate the feasibility of the longitudinal study protocol and indicate that sleep problems are common for caregivers and continue into the bereavement period, particularly for partner caregivers. The caregiver's relationship to the patient may be an important factor to consider in future studies.

  Background and purpose — Functional limitations after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common. In this longitudinal study, we wanted to identify subgroups of patients with distinct trajectories of pain-related interference with walking during the first year after TKA and to determine which demographic, clinical, symptom-related, and psychological characteristics were associated with being part of this subgroup. Patients and methods — Patients scheduled for primary TKA for osteoarthritis (n = 202) completed questionnaires that evaluated perception of pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and illness on the day before surgery. Clinical characteristics were obtained from the medical records. Interference of pain with walking was assessed preoperatively, on postoperative day 4, and at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months after TKA.

  Objectives Unrelieved postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a significant problem. This longitudinal study investigated how preoperative pain intensity, as well as a comprehensive list of preoperative and perioperative factors, influenced the severity of acute average and worst pain after TKA. Methods Prior to surgery, 203 patients completed a demographic questionnaire, Lee Fatigue Scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire. Brief Pain Inventory was completed prior to surgery as well as through postoperative days (POD) 0 to 4. Clinical data were extracted from medical records. Results Several factors were associated with higher levels of preoperative and postoperative pain. Lower preoperative average and worst pain intensity scores were associated with increases in average and worst postoperative pain from POD1 to POD4. A higher number of comorbidities, higher C-reactive protein values, and higher pain interference with function were associated with higher preoperative levels of average pain. Older age, higher fatigue levels, and higher scores on identity and emotional responses to osteoarthritis (OA) were associated with higher preoperative levels of worst pain. Lower perceived consequences of OA were associated with higher pain from POD1 to POD4. Males and patients with lower preoperative scores for average pain had higher worst pain following surgery. Discussion Patients at higher risk for more severe postoperative pain can be identified through an assessment of pain and other risk factors identified in this study. Future research needs to test the efficacy of interventions that modify patients’ perceptions of living with OA and pain intensity before surgery on short and long term postoperative outcomes.

  Aims and objectives To explore experiences of nurses implementing and using the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) and a Mobile Intensive Care Nurse (MICN) providing 24-hour on-call nursing support. Background To secure patient safety in hospital wards, nurses may increase the quality of care using a tool to detect the failure of vital functions. Possibilities for support can be provided through on-call supervision from a qualified team or nurse. Design This exploratory qualitative investigation used focus group interviews with nurses from two wards of a university hospital in Norway. Methods A purposive sample of seven registered nurses was interviewed in focus groups. A semi-structured guide and an inductive thematic analysis were used to identify interview themes. Results Three themes emerged: (1) experiences with the early recognition of deterioration using the MEWS, (2) supportive collaboration and knowledge transfer between nurses and (3) a “new” precise language using the score for communicating with physicians. The use of scores and support were perceived as improving care for deteriorating patients and for supporting the collaboration of nurses with other professionals. Conclusion In our study, nurses described increased confidence in the recognition of deteriorating patients and in the management of such situations. The non-critical attitude, supportive communication and interactive learning according to the MICN were essential elements for success.

  Nutritional Risk Screening (NRS 2002) is associated with pressure ulcer in a hospital population Rationale: The objective in this study was to describe the prevalence of pressure ulcer (PU) and risk of malnutrition in a hospital population, in addition to examine whether Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) would be associated with the presence of PU in hospitalized patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 10 screening days (2012-2014) in a Norwegian hospital. Including patients (≥18 years) admitted to medical or elective orthopedic surgical wards and excluding patients admitted to Hospice, intensive care unit, cognitively impaired and patients not able to read Norwegian. Initial NRS 2002 and skin examinations were conducted by ward nurses and nursing students, using European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel classification (Stage I-IV). A registered clinical dietician conducted all final NRS 2002 screenings. SPSS version 22.0 and p<0.05 was used for all statistical analyses. Results: Study population included 651 patients, with complete NRS 2002 screening data and skin examinations. The NRS 2002 screening identified 34% at risk of malnutrition. PU prevalence was 8% and associated with age ≥70 years, body mass index (BMI) below 20 and hospitalization in the medical department. Both initial and final NRS 2002 revealed higher presence of PU (OR=2.58 and 2.55, respectively) than low nutritional risk. The initial screening items “Is BMI<20?” (OR= 2.73) and “Reduced dietary intake past week?” (OR=1.91) were strongly associated to PU, as was a composite item of “Reduced dietary intake past week OR Weight loss past 3 months”(OR= 2.75). Conclusion: This study shows that NRS 2002 (initial and final screening) was associated with PU in hospitalized patients. Initial screening items were strongly associated with PU and might be used for detecting patients at risk of malnutrition and PU. Conflict of interest: None.
