Observational StudyThe risk-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index as a new predictor of one-year mortality rate in elderly Chinese patients who underwent hip fracture surgery.
Recently, many studies used the Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) to predict the postoperative mortality rate of elderly patients with hip fractures. However, as a predictor, CCI did not include other preoperative risk factors, resulting in decreasing its predictive value. Therefore, we performed a study to focus on two questions as follows: (1) What is the one-year mortality rate of elderly Chinese patients who underwent surgery for hip fracture? (2) Could risk-adjusted CCI act as a new predictor to predict the one-year mortality rate? ⋯ III; cohort comparative study.

Does change in language change the properties of a shortened score previously validated in its complete version? Validation of the French versions of the HOOS-12 and KOOS-12 scores in primary knee and hip arthroplasties.
The HOOS and KOOS scoring questionnaires comprise respectively 40 and 42 items; a shorter 12-item version was recently developed, but remains to be validated in a French-speaking population. We therefore conducted a prospective study: 1) to determine whether the new 12-item versions in French are equivalent to the longer HOOS and KOOS versions, and 2) to validate the French-language HOOS-12 and KOOS-12 patient-reported outcome measures in a population of primary total hip and knee arthroplasty: validity, reliability, and responsiveness. ⋯ IV; prospective study without control group.

Observational StudyOxford Knee Score and EQ-5d poorly predict patient's satisfaction following mechanically aligned total knee replacement: A cross-sectional study.
Patient satisfaction is increasingly used to measure the success of arthroplasty. Satisfaction with the outcome of a total knee replacement (TKR) is traditionally thought to be associated with improvements in functional status and quality of life measures. This study aims to answer the following questions: 1. What is the level of patient satisfaction, improvement in knee function and patient quality of life associated with mechanically aligned TKR? 2. What is the relationship between OKS, EQ-5d scores and 'outcome satisfaction'? ⋯ IIc; observational study (based on prospectively collected data from an institutional registry).
