RESUMO

AIM: To identify factors related to preoperative frailty in patients with cancer and map the tools that measure frailty. DESIGN: A Scoping review. METHODS: This scoping review based on Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Articles from CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases published between January 2011 and April 2021. The searched keywords were concepts related to 'cancer', 'frailty' and 'measurement'. RESULTS: While 728 records were initially identified, 24 studies were eventually selected. Research on frailty was actively conducted between 2020 and 2021. Factors related to preoperative frailty were age (22.9%), sex (11.4%), body mass index (11.4%) and physical status indicators (54.3%). The most common result of preoperative frailty was postoperative complications (35.0%). 24 instruments were used to measure frailty. IMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENT CARE: Selecting an appropriate preoperative frailty screening tool can help improve patient postoperative treatment outcomes. IMPACT: There are many instruments for assessing preoperative frailty, each evaluating a multi-dimensional feature. We identified the frailty screening tools used today, organized the factors that affect frailty, and explored the impact of frailty. Identifying and organizing frailty measurement tools will enable appropriate evaluation. REPORTING METHOD: PRISMA-ScR. PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.

RESUMO

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common degenerative diseases in old age. Recent studies have suggested new treatment approaches dealing with subchondral remodeling, which is a typical feature of OA progression. However, diagnostic tools or therapeutic approaches related to such a process are still being researched. The automated artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm-based texture analysis is a new method used for OA-progression detection. We designed a prospective case series study to examine the efficacy of the AI algorithm-based texture analysis in detecting the restoration of the subchondral remodeling process, which is expected to follow therapeutic intervention. In this study, we used polynucleotide (PN) filler injections as the therapeutic modality and the treatment outcome was verified by symptom improvement, as well as by the induction of subchondral microstructural changes. We used AI algorithm-based texture analysis to observe these changes in the subchondral bone with the bone structure value (BSV). A total of 51 participants diagnosed with knee OA were enrolled in this study. Intra-articular PN filler (HP cell Vitaran J) injections were administered once a week and five times in total. Knee X-rays and texture analyses with BSVs were performed during the screening visit and the last visit three months after screening. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Korean-Western Ontario MacMaster (K-WOMAC) measurements were used at the screening visit, the fifth intra-articular injection visit, and the last visit. The VAS and K-WOMAC scores decreased after PN treatment and lasted for three months after the final injection. The BSV changed in the middle and deep layers of tibial bone after PN injection. This result could imply that there were microstructural changes in the subchondral bone after PN treatment, and that this change could be detected using the AI algorithm-based texture analysis. In conclusion, the AI- algorithm-based texture analysis could be a promising tool for detecting and assessing the therapeutic outcome in knee OA.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the immediate and short-term impact of the application of wearable balance compensation system (BCS) on balance impairment in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA). METHODS: The study enrolled 6 participants with SCA with varying degrees of balance impairment. After adjustment for individual fitting, wearable BCS with up to 3% body weight was placed in a garment on the trunk. Sway direction and magnitude were measured with sensors placed posteriorly at the lumbosacral junction, immediately before and after, and at day 1, day 2, and day 7 after wearing the BCS. Timed Up & Go test (TUG) and 25-foot timed walk test were performed, and static foot pressure was measured. RESULTS: A significant improvement in static and dynamic balance was found during the 25-foot timed walk and in static foot pressure measurement results after wearing the BCS, when compared with that at baseline (p=0.044 vs. p=0.011). Anterior and posterior sway showed improvements from baseline after wearing the BCS. Improvement in the lateral swaying movement control was also seen. CONCLUSION: Application of the BCS might be beneficial in the improvement ofthe static and dynamic balance in patients with SCA. Further research on long-term effects and with a larger sample size is indicated.
