Complication rate after hip and knee arthroplasty related to obesity

July 24, 2023Obesity prevalence has almost tripled worldwide since 1975 (Germany). Obesity is a risk factor for osteoarthritis of the hip and even more so of the knee. Compared to non-obese individuals, they have a higher risk of complications. The objective of this study was to analyze the association between obesity and complication rates, revision rates, and mortality after primary and revision hip and knee replacements. In our study, obesity was associated with an increased risk of revision surgery within one year. For hip arthroplasty, the risk of revision also increased with each BMI category. Recent studies have shown that obesity is associated with an increased rate of aseptic loosening resulting in prosthesis replacement. As well, an increased rate of infection has been reported in obese patients with subsequent removal or replacement of the prosthesis. Revision procedures for dislocation increased for hip implants with increasing BMI, whereas revisions decreased with increasing BMI. Obese patients continued to have higher rates of in-hospital adverse events in all groups, which was particularly evident in those with a BMI ≥ 40 kg/m². In-hospital mortality within 90 days was increased only in those with grade 3 obesity at primary procedures. Author(s) Source Jeschke E, Gehrke T, Günster C, et al.

The doctor-patient relationship and the commercial use of health data in the EU

July 18, 2023A common European health data network is planned in the EU (European Health Data Space – EHDS). Problems are seen in the fact that the relationship of confidence and the doctor’s duty of secrecy must be maintained. The sovereignty of the data should remain with the patient. The EHDS is intended to manage secondary use of health data in addition to primary use. In this context, researchers, regulatory authorities, political decision-makers as well as industry (innovators, branch) are to be granted access to pseudonymized and anonymized data of EU citizens via a data access point for specific purposes. A board is to be established for monitoring purposes. Criticism is that the principles of data protection law, the principle of data minimization, data accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality, and the principle of necessity are not sufficiently respected.

Internationally different ratios for hip endoprostheses.

July 12, 2023According to the OECD, there are 204 hip replacements per 100,000 people in the USA, 315 in Germany, 128 in Spain and 68 in Israel. How long do patients in Germany and the United States stay in the hospital and rehab after hip replacement surgery? In Germany, about 10 nights in the hospital and twenty days in rehab are common. In America, patients are often out the day of surgery. They complete the rehabilitation afterwards at home under the guidance of skilled nursing staff. Patients in Germany were three times as frequent as those in the U.S. to require follow-up treatment within one month. Germans were almost twice as likely as Americans to need revision surgery within a year. Among those insured at Kaiser, those who were happiest with their new hip were those who had been in the hospital for a very short time. Was it due to pre-existing conditions? No. In terms of general health, the American patient cohort scored worse than the German cohort. Benedikt Simon, who knows both systems, blames the health care system for the big difference in the length of hospital stays. In Germany, hospitals bill insurers based on the number of cases. What happens before patients are admitted and after they are discharged doesn’t matter much. To prevent premature discharges, a minimum length of stay in the hospital is prescribed for hip joint operations. Otherwise, there are deductions. Kaiser insured patients pay a flat rate for their care, which the hospital then has to manage with.

First-in-human prediction of chronic pain state using intracranial neural biomarkers

May 22, 2023Chronic pain syndromes are often refractory to treatment and cause substantial suffering and disability. Pain severity is often measured through subjective report, while objective biomarkers that may guide diagnosis and treatment are lacking. Four individuals with refractory neuropathic pain were implanted with chronic intracranial electrodes in the anterior cingulate cortex and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC). We successfully predicted intraindividual chronic pain severity scores from neural activity with high sensitivity using machine learning methods.
