The pilot test through semi-structured phone interviews of the first 50 participants included in the ARCA study (n = 53) detected their misunderstandings. Pediatricians were trained to emphasize that the application is free of charge and requires monthly answers. Median of the System Usability Scale scores (n = 85), ranging 0 (negative)-100 (positive), was > 93 in the three age versions of the application.

Individuals post-stroke might have high levels of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) which might affect their quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of post-stroke fatigue in Jordan and to comprehensively identify its possible associated factors.

A cross-sectional design was implemented through one-hour face-to-face assessment sessions. The modified fatigue impact scale, 12-item Short-Form Health Survey, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Motor Assessment Log, Upper Extremity Fugl Meyer assessment, Nine Hole Peg Test, 10 Meter Walk Testing, active and passive goniometry, Hand-held dynamometry, and modified Ashworth scale were used as outcome measures. Prevalence of post-stroke fatigue and levels of quality of life were reported using descriptive analyses. Multiple variable linear regression analysis was used to identify PSF associated factors of post-stroke fatigue. P < 0.05 was considered significant for all statistical tests.

153 individuals with stroke participated in the study. A totaels. Other factors significantly associated with PSF included cognition status, sport participation, and spasticity. Healthcare practitioners working in neurorehabilitation should take PSF and its significant correlates into consideration when treating individuals with stroke.
To validate the Impact Index, a short, publicly available scale that measures the extent to which a respondent's health problem adversely impacts their quality of life.

Secondary analysis of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis surveyed after visiting a surgeon at baseline (N = 322) and about 6months after the visit (N = 283). Patients responded to the Impact Index and previously validated questionnaires about overall health, pain, and function. The Impact Index includes four questions that ask how **** the respondent is bothered, worried, limited, or in pain due to their health condition over the past 30days. Total scores range from 0 to 12; higher scores indicate more deleterious impact.

Patients were mostly female (55%), majority white (95%), had an average age of 65 (SD = 9), and most had surgery (64%). The baseline Impact Index score was 9.48 (SD = 2.63); at follow up 4.75 (SD = 3.54). Impact Index was related to overall health at baseline (r =  - 0.49). For knee patients at baseline, Impact Index was negatively related to their knee symptoms (r =  - 0.49) and knee pain (r =  - 0.67). For hip patients at baseline, Impact Index was negatively related to the Harris Hip score (r =  - 0.62). Scale directions varied; however, the signs of all correlations were as hypothesized. The Impact Index was predictive of surgical choice (p < .001, OR = 1.45), however, overall health (p = .88) and comorbidity (p = .24) measures were not. Reliability was acceptable (α = 0.85). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Menadione.html Responsiveness statistics suggested overall health, pain, function, and Impact Index measures reflected improvement patients experienced from surgery. The Impact Index had the largest effect sizes (> - 3.4) and Guyatt Responsiveness Statistics (> - 2.3).

The Impact Index demonstrated strong evidence of validity, reliability, and responsiveness in hip or knee osteoarthritis patients.

To estimate the comparative effect of open and percutaneous hallux valgus (HV) surgery on patients' quality of life (QoL) using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale including total score and individual domains (pain, function, and alignment).

MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were systematically searched from inception to March 2020 for studies on the effect of HV surgery on patients' QoL using the AOFAS score. A standardized mean difference score was calculated on the total AOFAS score and on each AOFAS domain (pain, function, and alignment) using Cohen's d index.

Considering the 53 published studies included, the pooled effect size (ES) estimates for the AOFAS total score were 3.69 (95% CI 3.37-4.01; I
 = 95.5%) for open surgery and 3.40 (95% CI 2.99-3.80, I
 = 88.2%) for percutaneous surgery. The total pooled ES estimate was 3.61 (95% CI 3.35-3.87, I
 = 94.5%). Considering the pain domain, the pooled ES estimates were 2.21 (95% CI 1.98-2.43, I
 = 64%) for open surgery and 2.52 (95% CI 1.83-3.20, I
 = 92.6%) for percutaneous surgery. For the function domain, the pooled ES estimates were 1.37 (95% CI 0.93-1.81, I
 = 91%) for open surgery and 2.28 (95% CI 1.10-3.47, I
 = 96.8%) for percutaneous surgery. Finally, the pooled ES estimates for the alignment domain were 3.99 (95% CI 3.51-4.47, I
 = 85.7%) for open surgery and 2.66 (95% CI 2.23-3.09, I
 = 78.5%) for percutaneous surgery.

Our data support that HV surgery increases the total AOFAS score as well as the AOFAS scores by domain (pain, function, and alignment). Furthermore, our data show that HV surgery increases patients' QoL, after both open and percutaneous surgery, without differences between them.
