Global burden of 288 causes of death and life expectancy decomposition in 204 countries and territories and 811 subnational locations, 1990-2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
Lancet. 2024 Apr 3:S0140-6736(24)00367-2. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(24)00367-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Regular, detailed reporting on population health by underlying cause of death is fundamental for public health decision making. Cause-specific estimates of mortality and the subsequent effects on life expectancy worldwide are valuable metrics to gauge progress in reducing mortality rates. These estimates are particularly important following large-scale mortality spikes, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. When systematically analysed, mortality rates and life expectancy allow comparisons of the consequences of...

Healthcare Utilization and Direct Costs Prior to Subspecialty Care in Children with Chronic Pain Compared with Other Chronic Childhood Diseases: A Cohort Study
CONCLUSION: Compared with chronic inflammatory and endocrinologic conditions, pediatric CP and anxiety were associated with substantial burden on the healthcare system prior to subspecialty care, suggesting a need to assess gaps and resources in the management of CP and mental health conditions in the primary care setting.PMID:38582149 | DOI:10.1016/j.jpeds.2024.114046 (Source: Pain Physician)

Popliteal-to-distal extreme bypass in endovascular era
Chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) is characterized by rest pain and tissue loss, with an annual mortality rate of 20% and amputation rate of 40%, if not treated. Open bypass surgery is recommended in CLTI, depending on the availability of good quality venous material, outflow artery patency and surgical expertise. Aim of the study is to analyze primary patency, limb salvage and survival rate in patient undergoing popliteal-to-distal bypass. (Source: Annals of Vascular Surgery)

Risk of Unfavorable Trajectories of Chronic Pain Severity – Results of a Longitudinal Study in School Children
Chronic pain is a common burden among children and adolescents associated with impairments in many aspects of life. Higher pain severity increases this burden. Subsequently, it is important to identify factors predicting the course of pain severity, classified by the Chronic Pain Grading. In a 1-year longitudinal assessment of a general school-age population (N=2280), we aimed to identify biopsychosocial factors associated with Chronic Pain Grading trajectories. We focused on children and adolescents who reported chronic pain at the start of the year (N=689). (Source: The Journal of Pain)

Opioid-induced Constipation: Old and New Concepts in Diagnosis and Treatment
J Neurogastroenterol Motil. 2024 Apr 30;30(2):131-142. doi: 10.5056/jnm23144.ABSTRACTDaily use of opioid analgesics has significantly increased in recent years due to an increasing prevalence of conditions associated with chronic pain. Opioid-induced constipation (OIC) is one of the most common, under-recognized, and under-treated side effects of opioid analgesics. OIC significantly reduces the quality of life by causing psychological distress, lowering work productivity, and increasing access to healthcare facilities. The economic and social burden of OIC led to the development of precise strategies for daily clinical pra...
