Arthroplasty registries at a glance

An initiative of the International Society of Arthroplasty Registries (ISAR) to facilitate access, understanding, and reporting of registry data from an international perspective

Background and purpose — The amount of information publicly available from arthroplasty registries is large but could be used more effectively. This project aims to improve the knowledge concerning existing registries to facilitate access, transparency, harmonization, and reporti ...
For author Perla J. Marang-van de Mheen, the name tagging in the XML is incorrect. The author given name should be “Perla J.”, and the author family name should be “Marang-van de Mheen”.
Background: Quality of metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) care is often monitored by national registries using quality indicators (QIs), but data collection takes up considerable time and costs. QIs are mostly introduced merely based on expert opinion. Therefore, the study’s aim w ...
Following the publication of the original article [1], we were notified that the name of the 10 th author was incorrectly tagged in the article’s XML. <GivenName>Perla</GivenName> <GivenName>J.</GivenName> <GivenName>Marang-v ...
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the cornerstone of modern evidence-based medicine. They are considered essential to establish definitive evidence of efficacy and safety for new drugs, and whenever possible they should also be the preferred method for investigating new hig ...
In recent years, the relationship between academia and the fossil fuel industry has become a focal point of intense debate. This concern arises from the fear that corporate funding might skew research activities. A significant development in this area is the adoption of policies ...
Background and purpose — Pooling data on the performance of total knee (TK) implants across registries is only possible if the same TK implant is used across multiple registries and if used in patients with similar characteristics. We assessed to what extent specific TK implants: ...

Ring Augmentation of the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

A Propensity Score Matched Analysis of 5-Year Follow-Up Results

Background
The ring-augmented Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (raRYGB) has been reported to result in higher long-term weight loss compared to regular Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). However, the type of ring used varied within studies, leading to heterogeneity in reported results. ...
Background and purpose — Standardized reporting on methodology and results in clinical RSA research papers facilitates evaluation of quality and interpretation of results. We aimed to assess the extent to which radiostereometric analysis (RSA) and computed tomography-based RSA (C ...
Background: Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel (ODEP) ratings of total hip (TH) and total knee (TK) implants are informative for assessing implant performance. However, the validity of ODEP ratings across multiple registries is unknown. Therefore, we aimed to assess, across multip ...
Background: The purpose of the study was to gain insight into how clinically relevant improvement in patient-reported outcome measure scores after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may be underestimated or overestimated, we compared patient-reported o ...
Background: Many patients suffer from osteoarthritis (OA) in multiple joints, possibly resulting in multiple joint arthroplasties (MJAs). Primarily, we determined the cumulative incidence (Cin) of MJA in hip and knee joints up to 10 years. Secondly, we calculated the m ...
Introduction: Risk prediction models (RPM) can help soft-tissue sarcoma(STS) patients and clinicians make informed treatment decisions by providing them with estimates of (disease-free) survival for different treatment options. However, it is unknown how RPMs are used in the clin ...
Background: A pectoralis major (PM) transfer is a viable treatment option for patients with scapular winging due to long thoracic nerve (LTN) palsy not responding to nonsurgical management. However, the long-term outcomes remain unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was t ...
Introduction
Different limb lengths are used in Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, as there is no consensus which limb length strategy has the best outcomes. The biliopancreatic limb (BPL) is thought to play an important role in achieving weight loss and associated como ...
Background and purpose — Different marker-selection methods are applied to represent implant and tibial seg-ments in radiostereometric analysis (RSA) studies of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Either a consistent set of markers throughout subsequent RSA examinations (“consistent-m ...
Aims The objective of this study was to compare the two-year migration and clinical outcomes of a new cementless hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium acetabular shell with its previous version, which shared the same geometrical design but a different manufacturing process for appl ...
Background: Loosening is a major cause for failure of total hip and total knee arthroplasties (THAs/TKAs). Preemptive diagnostics of asymptomatic loosening could open strategies to prevent gross loosening. A multitude of biomarkers may discriminate between loosened and sta ...
The name of author Perla J. Marang-van de Mheen was tagged incorrectly. “Perla J.” should be tagged as the given name and “Marang-van de Mheen” should be tagged as the family name.
