Discussion on the Social Return after the Outbreak of COVID -19 / 中国医学伦理学

After COVID -19, patients, medical workers and the whole society in COVID -19 were faced with the challenge of how to quickly return to normal life. Patients cured in COVID -19 would face mental or psychological barriers, or be discriminated against, or face problems such as overweight of local epidemic prevention policies. The front-line medical personnel experienced job burnout and a variety of mental and psychological disorders, with some even developing physical symptoms. During the epidemic, ordinary people were in a state of psychological stress, education, production and economic activities were affected, and the incidence of mental or psychological disorders increases. It was necessary to provide COVID -19 patients with mental health monitoring and counseling. Give professional guidance to front-line medical staff, arrange rotation reasonably, and pay attention to their mental health status. Local governments should strictly implement the national epidemic prevention system, formulate epidemic prevention policies with humanistic care, actively publicize epidemic related knowledge and safeguard the rights and interests of the people.

Funções neuropsicológicas de escolares na reabertura das escolas brasileiras na pandemia da Covid-19 / The neuropsychological functions of schoolchildren after the reopening of brazilian schools during the Covid-19 pandemic

RESUMO Objetivo O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar as funções neuropsicológicas de estudantes de uma escola pública do Distrito Federal (Brasil), matriculadas 1º e 2º ano de Ensino Fundamental na reabertura das escolas públicas na pandemia da COVID-19 e a influência dos fatores familiares e contextuais sobre o desempenho dessas habilidades. Métodos Participaram 117 estudantes, bem como seus responsáveis. As crianças foram avaliadas presencialmente por meio do Instrumento de Avaliação Neuropsicológica Breve Infantil (NEUPSILIN-Inf). Os pais/responsáveis responderam remotamente ao Inventário de Recursos do Ambiente Familiar e as questões para classificação socioeconômica e de escolaridade materna. Resultado Os dados apontam alta prevalência de crianças em fase de alfabetização que apresentam alerta ou déficit das funções de orientação, memória, linguagem, habilidades visuoespaciais, habilidades aritméticas e fluência verbal. Ainda, as atividades previsíveis que sinalizam algum grau de estabilidade na vida familiar são preditoras do desempenho das crianças na habilidade de orientação e os recursos que promovem processos proximais refletem significativamente no desempenho em linguagem. Os resultados sugerem que crianças inseridas em família com estimativas da renda domiciliar abaixo de um salário mínimo apresentam piores desempenhos do controle inibitório. Conclusão Foram apresentados e discutidos os impactos das alterações das habilidades neuropsicológicas para o aprendizado das crianças, destacando a necessidade de intervenções imediatas e direcionadas para essas funções. Foram considerados os fatores contextuais que apresentaram influência sobre o desempenho das habilidades neuropsicológicas.

ABSTRACT Purpose The objective of this study was analyzed the neuropsychological functions of students from a public school in Brazil, enrolled in the 1st and 2nd year of Elementary School at the time of the reopening of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and to access the influence of family and contextual information on the performance of these skills. Methods 117 students participated in the study, as well as their parents or guardians. The children were evaluated in person using the Brief Child Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument (NEUPSILIN-Inf). The parents/guardians answered remotely the Inventory of Resources of the Family Environment and questions about socioeconomic classification and maternal education. Results The data showed a high prevalence of children who had problems or deficits in the functions of orientation, memory, language, visuospatial skills, arithmetic skills and verbal fluency. Furthermore, predictable activities that signal some degree of stability in family life are predictors of children's performance in orientation skills and resources that promote proximal processes significantly reflect on language performance. The results suggest that children included in families with a household income below one Brazilian minimum monthly salary presented poorer inhibitory control performances. Conclusion The impact of changes in neuropsychological skills in children's learning were presented and discussed, highlighting the need for immediate and targeted intervention of these functions. Contextual factors that influenced the performance of neuropsychological skills were also considered.

Long-term outcomes for epidemic viral pneumonia survivors after discharge from the intensive care unit: a systematic review

ABSTRACT Objective To review the long-term outcomes (functional status and psychological sequelae) of survivors of critical illnesses due to epidemic viral pneumonia before the COVID-19 pandemic and to establish a benchmark for comparison of the COVID-19 long-term outcomes. Methods This systematic review of clinical studies reported the long-term outcomes in adults admitted to intensive care units who were diagnosed with viral epidemic pneumonia. An electronic search was performed using databases: MEDLINE®, Web of Science™, LILACS/IBECS, and EMBASE. Additionally, complementary searches were conducted on the reference lists of eligible studies. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. The results were grouped into tables and textual descriptions. Results The final analysis included 15 studies from a total of 243 studies. This review included 771 patients with Influenza A, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. It analyzed the quality of life, functionality, lung function, mortality, rate of return to work, rehospitalization, and psychiatric symptoms. The follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 144 months. We found that the quality of life, functional capacity, and pulmonary function were below expected standards. Conclusion This review revealed great heterogeneity between studies attributed to different scales, follow-up time points, and methodologies. However, this systematic review identified negative long-term effects on patient outcomes. Given the possibility of future pandemics, it is essential to identify the long-term effects of viral pneumonia outbreaks. This review was not funded.

Intraoperative fluoroscopy on femoral tunnel placement in the treatment of professional snow sports athletes with anterior cruciate ligament injury / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To explore the clinical outcomes of intraoperative fluoroscopy on femoral tunnel placement in treating professional snow sports athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.Methods:A retrospective case series study was used to analyze the clinical data of 13 professional snow sports athletes with ACL injury treated in the National Institute of Sports Medicine, General Administration of Sport of China from January 2016 to January 2019. There were 5 males and 8 females, aged 16-27 years [(18.5±3.0)years]. Intraoperative lateral fluoroscopy combined with quadrant method was performed for the accurate femoral tunnel placement in single-bundle ACL reconstruction by using autologous hamstring tendon in all patients. KT1000 side-to-side difference (KT1000-ssd), pivot shift test, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, Lysholm score, Marx activity scale and maximum extension and flexion resistance ratio of the involved and uninvolved knee were compared before operation (or before injury) and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation. Whether returning to the field, time taken in returning to the field and re-injury were recorded at each follow-up visit. ACL graft signal intensity ratio (SIR) in MRI of the involved knee was evaluated at postoperative 24 months.Results:All patients were followed up for 24-33 months [(25.8±2.7)months]. There were 7 patients with KT1000-ssd degree I, 5 with degree II and 1 with degree III before operation, compared to 12 patients with KT1000-ssd degree 0 and 1 with degree I at 3 and 6 months after operation and 13 patients with KT1000-ssd degree 0 at 12 and 24 months after operation. The pivot shift test was grade I in 8 patients and grade II in 5 before operation, compared to 11 patients with degree 0 and 2 with degree I at 3 months after operation and 12 patients with degree 0 and 1 with degree I at 6, 12 and 24 months after operation. IKDC subjective score was (68.0±4.3)points, (84.7±7.9)points, (94.6±3.3)points and (96.5±1.8)points at postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively. Six months after operation, IKDC subjective score was significantly improved compared to the preoperative (48.3±25.0)points (all P<0.01). The Lysholm score was (63.4±6.6)points, (80.1±6.5)points, (93.8±4.6)points and (96.5±2.4)points at postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively. Six months after operation, the Lysholm score was significantly improved compared to the preoperative (47.5±29.4)points (all P<0.01). The Marx activity scale was (7.4±0.5)points, (13.8±0.7)points, (14.6±0.8)points and (15.0±0.7)points at postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively, significantly lower than (16.0±0.0)points before the injury (all P<0.01). The maximum extension resistance ratio of the involved and uninvolved knee was 0.60±0.10, 0.85±0.08, 0.91±0.06 and 0.97±0.04 at postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively. Six months after operation, the maximum extension resistance ratio of the involved and uninvolved knee was significantly increased compared to the preoperative 0.57±0.18 (all P<0.01).The maximum flexion resistance ratios of involved and uninvolved knee were 0.64±0.09, 0.82±0.06, 0.89±0.04 and 0.94±0.06 at postoperative 3, 6, 12 and 24 months, respectively. Six months after operation, the maximum flexion resistance ratio of the involved and uninvolved knee was significantly increased compared to the preoperative 0.60±0.12 (all P<0.01). Thirteen athletes returned to the field within 12 months after operation with the time taken in returning to the field ranging from 5-12 months [(8.7±1.9)months]. There was no ACL re-injury at postoperative 24 months. The ACL graft SIR in MRI of the involved knee was 1.80±0.20 at postoperative 24 months. Conclusion:Intraoperative fluoroscopy on femoral tunnel placement in the treatment of professional snow sports athletes with ACL injury can significantly improve the knee joint stability, subjective function, sports performance and muscle strength within 6 months, and can help them return to the field within 12 months, and accelerates graft healing.

Assessment of the relationship between the return to work and the severity of work-related upper limb injuries using the whole person impairment / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

PURPOSE@#Upper limb disorders are one of the most common and important types of occupational injuries. Besides, identifying the factors influencing return to work following these injuries is essential to reduce the dimensions of the problem. In this study, we investigated the return to work and associated factors following occupational injuries leading to upper limb impairment.@*METHODS@#In this retrospective cohort study, the rate of return to work and associated factors were assessed in 256 workers with work-related upper limb injury referred to a teaching hospital from March 2011 to December 2018. The inclusion criterion was a history of occupational injury resulting in upper limb impairment, and exclusion criteria included the presence of simultaneous impairment in other organs, congenital or non-occupational limb defects as well as patients with incomplete information in their medical records. Individuals' records, including age at the time of injury, gender, date of injury, marital status, education, level of amputation and injury, whole person impairment (WPI) and physiotherapy (prescribed by the physician) were reviewed. The WPI was calculated to assess the extent of the injury. All analyzes were performed by SPSS version 25.0.@*RESULT@#The rate of return to work was 54.3%, in which 51.8% for the same job and 48.2% for a new job. The main factors associated with non-return to work were more days off work (p = 0.001), higher injury severity (p = 0.001), and dominant hand injury (p = 0.034).@*CONCLUSION@#The number of days off work, the WPI, and dominant hand injury are the most important determinant in returning to work. In addition, increased job satisfaction and support from co-workers and employers are work-related factors that can lead to an increased return to work.

The concept of people first has important inspirations for the value rational return of medical humanities education in the new era. It is consistent with the educational value, curriculum attribute, and practical attribute of medical humanistic education, and puts forward new requirements for the value rational return of medical humanities education in terms of educational supply content, practical curriculum setting, educational development form, and educational effect evaluation. Medical colleges and universities should further adhere to the medical humanities education concept centered on people’s health, optimize the practice curriculum of medical humanistic education, innovate the practice platform of medical humanistic education, and construct a value evaluation mechanism of medical humanistic education, so as to promote the value rational return of medical humanities education under the concept of people first.

Progress in evaluation of return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the evaluation methods of return to sports (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in recent years, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.@*METHODS@#The literature related to the RTS after ACLR was searched from CNKI, Wanfang, PubMed, and Foreign Medical Information Resources Retrieval Platform (FMRS) databases. The retrieval range was from 2010 to 2023, and 66 papers were finally included for review. The relevant literature was summarized and analyzed from the aspects of RTS time, objective evaluation indicators, and psychological evaluation.@*RESULTS@#RTS is the common desire of patients with ACL injury and doctors, as well as the initial intention of selecting surgery. A reasonable and perfect evaluation method of RTS can not only help patients recover to preoperative exercise level, but also protect patients from re-injury. At present, the main criterion for clinical judgement of RTS is time. It is basically agreed that RTS after 9 months can reduce the re-injury. In addition to time, it is also necessary to test the lower limb muscle strength, jumping, balance, and other aspects of the patient, comprehensively assess the degree of functional recovery and determine the different time of RTS according to the type of exercise. Psychological assessment plays an important role in RTS and has a good clinical predictive effect.@*CONCLUSION@#RTS is one of the research hotspots after ACLR. At present, there are many related evaluation methods, which need to be further optimized by more research to build a comprehensive and standardized evaluation system.

Reintegration of returning migrant healthcare workers into the Philippine workforce: A qualitative case study

AIM@#This study aims to explore the reintegration experiences of returning migrant healthcare workers in the Philippines.@*BACKGROUND@#Return migration and reintegration of healthcare labor force is a relevant part of the migration process valuable in the improvement of human capital in source countries through transfer of knowledge and skills. However, this research field has received little attention in terms of policy, program, and research development. Hence, there is a paucity of information in the Philippines describing the reintegration experiences of returning migrant healthcare workers despite its maturity in health worker migration.@*METHODS@# A qualitative case study approach was utilized in this study. Initially, an online literature review of electronic databases and grey literature regarding reintegration of migrant workers in the Philippines was performed. This was followed by online in- depth interviews among purposively selected potential, current, or returning nurses, rehabilitation therapists, and caregiver health worker migrants through Zoom web conferencing platform. Government, private, and non-government institutions involved in the migration of health workers were also invited to participate in online focus group discussions and key informant interviews. An inductive content analysis using matrices was utilized to determine relevant descriptive codes, categories, and themes.@*RESULTS@#Return migration and reintegration is perceived as an uncommon phenomenon among healthcare worker migrants. Nonetheless, motivations and grounds of opting to return and reintegrate in the Philippines can mostly be due to personal reasons or entrepreneurial aspirations. Upon return, they successfully held teaching and training positions, engaged in business through specialized clinics, or established professional associations. There was largely a perceived lack of awareness of government efforts on reintegration as it was felt that services and assistance were limited. Further observed restraints to return migration include lower wages in the Philippines, lack of knowledge on financial management, paucity of skills and qualifications recognition acquired overseas in their home country, and absence of professional network support. The COVID-19 pandemic also positively or negatively influenced healthcare worker migration.@*CONCLUSION@#This study highlighted the motivations and restraints of health worker migrants in returning to reintegrate in the Philippines. The availability and deficiency in policies, programs, and services for returning migrant workers were also emphasized. In addition, the aspects and prospects of return migration and reintegration, as well as the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on healthcare worker reintegration was identified. The Philippine government and other concerned agencies need to ensure a supportive environment that will foster a positively conducive reintegration experience for returning healthcare worker migrants.

Effects of rumen microorganisms on the decomposition of recycled straw residue / 浙江大学学报（英文版）（B辑：生物医学和生物技术）

Recently, returning straw to the fields has been proved as a direct and effective method to tackle soil nutrient loss and agricultural pollution. Meanwhile, the slow decomposition of straw may harm the growth of the next crop. This study aimed to determine the effects of rumen microorganisms (RMs) on straw decomposition, bacterial microbial community structure, soil properties, and soil enzyme activity. The results showed that RMs significantly enhanced the degradation rate of straw in the soil, reaching 39.52%, which was 41.37% higher than that of the control on the 30th day after straw return. After 30 d, straw degradation showed a significant slower trend in both the control and the experimental groups. According to the soil physicochemical parameters, the application of rumen fluid expedited soil matter transformation and nutrient buildup, and increased the urease, sucrase, and cellulase activity by 10%‒20%. The qualitative analysis of straw showed that the hydroxyl functional group structure of cellulose in straw was greatly damaged after the application of rumen fluid. The analysis of soil microbial community structure revealed that the addition of rumen fluid led to the proliferation of Actinobacteria with strong cellulose degradation ability, which was the main reason for the accelerated straw decomposition. Our study highlights that returning rice straw to the fields with rumen fluid inoculation can be used as an effective measure to enhance the biological value of recycled rice straw, proposing a viable solution to the problem of sluggish straw decomposition.

Return to sports WeChat applet for evaluating the rehabilitation effects after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To clarify the intervention guidance of return to sports WeChat applet and evaluate the rehabilitation effectiveness after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.@*METHODS@#Between September 2020 and September 2022, 80 patients who met the selection criteria and underwent ACL anatomical single bundle reconstruction were selected as the research objects. According to the double-blind random method, they were divided into the applet group and the regular group, with 40 cases in each group. Patients in the applet group were rehabilitated under the guidance of the return to sports WeChat applet, and the patients were asked to perform the test once a month after operation, including patients' subjective scores [Tegner score, knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (KOOS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, American Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score], psychological assessment [ACL recovery sports injury scale (ACL-RSI) score], jumping test, balance test, bending angle test. Patients in the regular group were followed up by doctors and nurses regularly by telephone every month. All the patients were reexamined at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after operation, and the range of motion of the knee joint with 6 degrees of freedom (flexion and extension angle, varus and valgus angle, internal and external rotation angle, anteroposterior displacement, superior and inferior displacement, and internal and external displacement) recorded by Opti_Knee three-dimensional knee joint motion measurement gait analysis system was observed. The anterior tibial translation difference (ATTD) was measured by Ligs knee measuring instrument when a forward thrust of 120 N was applied to the posterior part of the proximal tibia. Tegner score, IKDC score, KOOS score (including KOOS-Pain score, KOOS-Symptoms score, KOOS-Activities of daily living score, KOOS-Sport score, and KOOS-Quality of life score), HSS score, ACL-RSI score, jumping ability, balance ability, patients' satisfaction with the rehabilitation process, and ACL healing grading according to ACL continuity and signal intensity shown by MRI.@*RESULTS@#There were significant differences in various indicators between different time points after operation in the two groups ( P<0.05). At 3 months after operation, except that the ACL-RSI score of the applet group was significantly higher than that of the regular group ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the other indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 6 months after operation, the ACL-RSI score, IKDC score, Tegner score, KOOS scores of different items, HSS score, balance and jumping ability of the applet group were significantly higher than those of the regular group ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the other indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 9 months after operation, there was no significant difference in all indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 12 months after operation, 27 cases (67.5%) in the applet group and 21 cases (52.5%) in the regular group returned to sport, with a significant difference of the return to sports incidence between the two groups [ RR(95% CI)=1.50 (1.00, 2.25), P=0.049]. In the applet group, 27 cases were very satisfied with the rehabilitation process, 10 cases were satisfied, 2 cases were basically satisfied, and 1 case was not satisfied, while 19, 13, 5, and 3 cases in the regular group, respectively. The satisfaction degree of the applet group was significantly better than that of the regular group ( P=0.049). MRI examination of the two groups showed that the ACL was continuous without secondary rupture or necrosis. The ACL healing grade of the applet group was 31 cases of grade 1 and 9 cases of grade 2, and that of the regular group was 28 cases of grade 1 and 12 cases of grade 2, there was no significant difference in ACL healing grade between the two groups ( P=0.449).@*CONCLUSION@#The application of return to sports WeChat applet in the rehabilitation of patients after ACL reconstruction can significantly reduce the fear of return to sports and improve the rate of return to sports. The return to sports WeChat applet is convenient to operate, with high utilization rate and high patient compliance, which significantly improves the satisfaction.

Employee medical leave in mis-tlif or open-tlif in elective surgery in brazil / Licença médica do empregado no mis-tlif ou open-tlif em cirurgia eletiva no brasil / Licencia médica del empleado en mis-tlif o open-tlif en cirugía electiva en brasil

ABSTRACT: Objective: To compare the effects of the two techniques (minimally invasive transforaminal inter somatic lumbar fusion [MIS-TLIF] and open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion [TLIF]) in the treatment of lumbar degenerative disease. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. The outcomes investigated were: intensity of low back pain, functional disability of the lumbar spine, discharge time, return to work, lumbar lordosis angle, cost of individual sources due to the period of work-related absenteeism, and societal perspective costs in the treatment of low-grade lumbar degenerative disease. The data was obtained through the analysis of data contained in the electronic medical records of 100 patients who underwent one of the two surgical techniques from January 2019 to May 2021 in a High Complexity Orthopedic Surgery. The outcomes investigated were set 12 months postoperatively. Results: No statistical differences were observed in terms of sex, age, employment, and diagnosis grade between groups. MIS-TLIF was associated with significant improvement in the intensity of low back pain, functional disability of the lumbar spine, discharge time, return to work, cost of individual sources due to the period of work-related absenteeism, and societal perspective costs. The variation in the lumbar lordosis angle of the MIS-TLIF group was smaller when compared to TLIF. Conclusion: Considering that MIS-TLIF was achieved with satisfactory short-term improvements, it may be used as an alternative strategy to TLIF to promote clinical and economical improvements in treating lumbar degenerative disease. Level of Evidence III; Comparative Retrospective Study.

RESUMO: Objetivo: Comparar os efeitos das duas técnicas (fusão intersomática lombar transforaminal minimamente invasiva [MIS-TLIF] e fusão intersomática lombar transforaminal aberta [TLIF]) no tratamento da doença degenerativa lombar. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de coorte retrospectivo. Os desfechos investigados foram: intensidade da dor lombar, incapacidade funcional da coluna lombar, tempo de alta, retorno ao trabalho, ângulo de lordose lombar, costa de fontes individuais devido ao período de absenteísmo relacionado ao trabalho e custos da perspectiva social no tratamento de doença degenerativa lombar de baixo grau. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da análise dos dados contidos nos prontuários eletrônicos de 100 pacientes submetidos a uma das duas técnicas cirúrgicas no período de janeiro de 2019 a maio de 2021 em uma Cirurgia Ortopédica de Alta Complexidade. Os resultados investigados foram definidos 12 meses após a cirurgia. Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças estatísticas quanto ao sexo, idade, vínculo empregatício, grau de diagnóstico entre os grupos. O MIS-TLIF foi associado a melhora significativa na intensidade da dor lombar, incapacidade funcional da coluna lombar, tempo de alta, retorno ao trabalho, custo de fontes individuais devido ao período de absenteísmo relacionado ao trabalho e custos de perspectiva social. A variação do ângulo da lordose lombar do grupo MIS-TLIF foi menor quando comparado ao TLIF. Conclusão: Considerando que o MIS-TLIF foi alcançado com melhoras satisfatórias em curto prazo, pode ser usado como uma estratégia alternativa ao TLIF para promover melhorias clínicas e econômicas no tratamento da doença degenerativa lombar. Nível de Evidência III; Estudo Retrospectivo Comparativo.

RESUMEN: Objetivo: Comparar los efectos de dos técnicas (fusión lumbar intersomática transforaminal mínimamente invasiva [MIS-TLIF] y fusión intersomática lumbar transforaminal abierta [TLIF]) en el tratamiento de la enfermedad degenerativa lumbar. Métodos: Este es un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo. Los desenlaces investigados fueron: intensidad del dolor lumbar, incapacidad funcional de la columna lumbar, tiempo de alta, regreso al trabajo, ángulo de lordosis lumbar, costa de fuentes individuales debido al período de ausentismo relacionado con el trabajo y costos de perspectiva social en el tratamiento de enfermedad degenerativa lumbar de bajo grado. Los datos se obtuvieron a través del análisis de los datos contenidos en las historias clínicas electrónicas de 100 pacientes que se sometieron a alguna de las dos técnicas quirúrgicas durante el período de enero de 2019 a mayo de 2021 en una Cirugía Ortopédica de Alta Complejidad. Los resultados investigados se establecieron 12 meses después de la operación. Resultados: No se observaron diferencias estadísticas en cuanto a sexo, edad, ocupación, grado de diagnóstico entre grupos. MIS-TLIF se asoció con una mejora significativa en la intensidad del dolor lumbar, la discapacidad funcional de la columna lumbar, el tiempo de alta, el regreso al trabajo, la costa de fuentes individuales debido al período de ausentismo relacionado con el trabajo y los costos de perspectiva social. La variación en el ángulo de lordosis lumbar del grupo MIS-TLIF fue menor en comparación con TLIF. Conclusión: considerando que MIS-TLIF se logró con mejoras satisfactorias a corto plazo, puede usarse como una estrategia alternativa a TLIF para promover mejoras clínicas y económicas en el tratamiento de la enfermedad degenerativa lumbar. Nivel de Evidencia III; Estudio Retrospectivo Comparativo.

Sports practice after lumbar discectomy in non-professional athletes: a cross-sectional study / Prática esportiva após discectomia lombar em atletas não profissionais: estudo transversal / Práctica deportiva tras discectomía lumbar en atletas no profesionales: un estudio transversal

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Most athletes treated for lumbar disc herniation return to play between 3 and 9 months after conservative or surgical treatment. In the last two decades, the general population increased the practice and participation in amateur competitions, being more prone to overload injuries. Objectives: To evaluate sports practice after lumbar discectomy in non-professional athletes. Methods: In the last five years, a digital questionnaire was sent to patients submitted to up to two levels of open discectomy. After signing the informed consent form, the patients were instructed to answer the questionnaire with personal and clinical data related to disc treatment and sports practice after the procedure. Results: Of 182 contacted patients, a hundred answered the questionnaire; 65% practiced regular sports activities before surgery. From patients who practiced sports before surgery, 75.38% returned to sports activities after the procedure. 39.29% returned between 3 and 6 months. Only 12.31% referred to impaired sports performance, while 56.92% performed unaffected, and 21.54% reported improved performance after surgery. Prior sports practice, participation in amateur competitions, and regular core strengthening were significantly associated with sports practice after surgery (P<0,05). Conclusions: From the participants who had already practiced sports before surgery, 75.38% returned after the surgical procedure. Sports practice before surgery, participation in amateur competitions, and regular core strengthening were positively associated with a return to sports practice after lumbar discectomy. The study shows that core strengthening should be encouraged and recommended to all non-professional athletes who intend to return to sports after microdiscectomy surgeries. Level of Evidence: III; Cross-Sectional Retrospective Study.

RESUMO: Introdução: A maioria dos atletas tratados de hérnia de disco lombar volta a jogar em um período entre 3 e 9 meses, após tratamento conservador ou cirúrgico. Nas últimas duas décadas, a população em geral aumentou a prática e participação em competições amadoras; sendo mais propenso a lesões por uso excessivo. Objetivos: Avaliar a prática esportiva após discectomia lombar em atletas não profissionais. Métodos: Um questionário digital foi enviado aos pacientes submetidos à discectomia aberta de até 2 níveis, nos últimos cinco anos. Após a assinatura do termo de consentimento livre e esclarecido, os pacientes foram orientados a responder o questionário com dados pessoais e clínicos relacionados ao tratamento e à prática esportiva após o procedimento. Resultados: Dos 182 pacientes contatados, cem responderam ao questionário; destes, 65% praticavam atividades esportivas regulares antes da cirurgia. Dos pacientes que praticavam esportes antes da cirurgia, 75,38% retornaram à atividade esportiva após o procedimento. 39,29% retornaram entre 3 e 6 meses. Apenas 12,31% relataram piora no desempenho esportivo, enquanto para 56,92% o desempenho não foi afetado e 21,54% relataram melhora no desempenho após a cirurgia. A prática esportiva prévia, a participação em competições amadoras e o fortalecimento regular do core foram significativamente associados à prática esportiva após a cirurgia (P<0,05). Conclusões: Dos participantes que já praticavam esportes antes da cirurgia, 75,38% retornaram após o procedimento cirúrgico. A prática esportiva prévia à cirurgia, a participação em competições amadoras e o fortalecimento regular do core foram positivamente associados ao retorno à prática esportiva após a discectomia lombar. O estudo mostra que o fortalecimento do core deve ser incentivado e recomendado para todos os atletas não profissionais que pretendem retornar ao esporte após cirurgias de microdiscectomia. Nível de Evidência III; Estudio Transversal Retrospectivo.

RESUMEN: Introducción: La mayoría de los atletas tratados por hernia de disco lumbar regresan a jugar en un período de entre 3 y 9 meses, luego de un tratamiento conservador o quirúrgico. En las últimas dos décadas, la población en general incrementó la práctica y participación en competencias aficionadas; siendo más propensos a sufrir lesiones por sobrecarga.Objetivos: Evaluar la práctica deportiva posterior a discectomía lumbar en deportistas no profesionales. Métodos: Se envió un cuestionario digital a los pacientes sometidos a discectomía abierta de hasta 2 niveles, en los últimos cinco años. Tras firmar el consentimiento informado, se instruyó a los pacientes para que respondieran el cuestionario con datos personales y clínicos, relacionados con el tratamiento discal y la práctica deportiva posterior al procedimiento. Resultados: De 182 pacientes contactados, cien respondieron el cuestionario; de estos, el 65% practicaba actividades deportivas regulares antes de la cirugía. De los pacientes que practicaban deporte antes de la cirugía, el 75,38% retornó a la actividad deportiva después del procedimiento. El 39,29% volvió entre los 3 y 6 meses. Solo el 12,31 % refirió deterioro del rendimiento deportivo, mientras que para el 56,92 % el rendimiento no se vio afectado y el 21,54 % refirió mejora del rendimiento después de la cirugía. La práctica deportiva previa, la participación en competiciones aficionadas y la realización regular de fortalecimiento del core, se asociaron significativamente con la práctica deportiva tras la cirugía (P<0,05). Conclusiones: De los participantes que ya practicaban deporte antes de la cirugía, el 75,38% regresaron después del procedimiento quirúrgico. La práctica deportiva previa a la cirugía, la participación en competiciones de aficionados y la realización de un fortalecimiento core periódico se asociaron positivamente con la vuelta a la práctica deportiva tras la discectomía lumbar. El estudio muestra que se debe alentar y recomendar el fortalecimiento del core a todos los atletas no profesionales que tengan la intención de volver al deporte después de las cirugías de microdiscectomía.
