Indian Academy of Pediatrics Consensus Guidelines on Preconception Care
Indian Pediatr. 2024 Apr 15;61(4):305-320.ABSTRACTJUSTIFICATION: The preconception period is the earliest window of opportunity to ensure optimal human development. Pregnancy and childbirth outcomes can be improved by interventions offered to support the health and well-being of women and couples prior to conception. Thus, preconception care is essential in preparing for the first thousand days of life. Adolescence, the stage of life that typically comes before the preconception stage, is characterized by various high-risk behaviors like substance abuse, sexual experimentation, injuries, obesity, and mental health issues w...

Similar Medium-Term Revision Rates Following Acute Total Hip Arthroplasty Versus Open Reduction and Internal Fixation for Acetabular Fractures in the Elderly
CONCLUSIONS: No difference was observed in medium-term RFS between acute THA and ORIF for elderly acetabular fractures in California. Revision surgeries for either conversion or revision THA were relatively common in both groups, with roughly half of all revisions occurring within the first year postoperatively.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: III.PMID:38595147 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00771 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

Medicare in the 21st Century: Understanding the Program to Promote Improvements
J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2024 Apr 9. doi: 10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00464. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedicare is the largest single purchaser of health care in the United States and currently helps to pay medical expenses for approximately one-fifth of the US population. The impetus for Medicare to move away from fee-for-service and toward value-based care payments reflects the need to incentivize and improve healthcare quality while containing increasing costs. This primer provides a detailed overview of several interrelated topics for an improved understanding of the Medicare program for orthopaedic surgeons, other clinicians...

Cervical Sagittal Alignment and Related Factor Analysis and Prediction Model in Patients Undergoing Revision Surgery After Anterior Cervical Fusion
CONCLUSION: The causes of revision surgery in cervical myelopathic patients after anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion/anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion are multifactorial. (T1S-CL)-C2S mismatch and high C2C7SVA are the best cervical sagittal parameters that increase the odds of revision surgery, and the effect is more enhanced when comorbidities such as smoking, low bone-mineral density, and increased levels of fusion are taken into account.PMID:38595101 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00565 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)

"Trend" Statement Use in the Orthopaedic Literature
DISCUSSION: Trend statements are used to describe non-statistically significant findings with moderate frequency in the orthopaedic literature. Given the potentially misleading effects of trend statements, efforts should be made to mitigate their use. If trend statements are to be used, attention should be paid to defining what constitutes a "trend", explicitly acknowledging the lack of statistical significance of the finding to which the trend statement refers, and avoiding drawing undue conclusions from non-statistically significant data.PMID:38595127 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00770 (Source: The Journal of the American Ac...

The Association between Race and Extended Length of Stay in Low-energy Proximal Humerus Fractures in Elderly Patients
CONCLUSION: Our study highlights the notable influence of age and race on the likelihood of hospital admission and prolonged hospital stay. Specifically, Black patients exhibited prolonged hospital stay, which has been associated with lower-quality care, warranting additional exploration. Understanding these demographic and hospital-related factors is essential for optimizing resource allocation and reducing healthcare disparities in the care of PHF patients, especially as the population ages and the incidence of PHF continues to rise.PMID:38595161 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00925 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy...

Association of Pharmacologic Treatment of Depression/Anxiety With Initial Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Patients With Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis
CONCLUSION: :Our results indicate that pharmacologic treatment of depression/anxiety is associated with improved psychological health but not with improved physical symptoms related to OA. We observed a nonsignificant trend that patients with depression/anxiety who warrant pharmacologic treatment tend to have worse physical symptoms than those who do not; however, unadjusted analyses suggest this is a complex relationship beyond the isolated effect of pharmacologic treatment.PMID:38595309 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00887 (Source: The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons)
