Tian Y, Wang YL. Resilience provides mediating effect of resilience between fear of progression and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. World J Psychiatry 2024; 14:541-552. [PMID: 38659599 PMCID: PMC11036458 DOI: 10.5498/wjp.v14.i4.541] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematological tumors are common malignant tumors, with high morbidity and mortality rates. Most patients with hematological malignancies develop sleep disorders that seriously affect their life and health because of acute onset of disease, rapid progression, high recurrence rates, complex treatment methods, and treatment costs. AIM To explore the mediating effect of resilience on fear of disease progression and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of 100 patients with hematological malignancies, treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between August 2022 and August 2023, was conducted. Patients were assessed using a general data survey, a simplified scale for the fear of progression (FoP) of disease, a resilience scale, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between various patient characteristics and FoP, resilience, and sleep quality. Spearman's correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between mental resilience, FoP, and sleep quality. RESULTS The total FoP score mean value in patients with hematological malignancies was 38.09 ± 5.16; the total resilience score mean value was 40.73 ± 7.04; and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score mean value was 10.72 ± 1.90. FoP, resilience, and sleep quality of the patients were associated with family per capita monthly income and patient education level (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis revealed that FoP was negatively correlated with resilience and sleep quality scores (r = -0.560, -0.537, P < 0.01), respectively, and resilience was significantly associated with sleep quality scores (r = 0.688, P < 0.01). Mediation analysis showed that the mediating effect of resilience between FoP and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies was -0.100 and accounted for 50.51% of the total effect. This indicated that FoP directly and indirectly affected sleep quality through the mesomeric effect of resilience. CONCLUSION Resilience is an intermediary variable between FoP and sleep quality in patients with hematological malignancies. Medical staff should evaluate and follow-up FoP and resilience to implement measures to improve sleep quality.

Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1223746. [PMID: 38034987 PMCID: PMC10687473 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1223746] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective: This study was determined to investigate the impact of intranasal dexmedetomidine (DEX) on postoperative sleep quality in older patients (age over 65) with chronic insomnia during their hospitalization after surgery. Design: A randomized double-blind controlled trial was conducted to compare the effects of intranasal dexmedetomidine spray with a placebo group. Setting and Participants: The study was carried out at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. 110 participants with chronic insomnia were analyzed. Methods: This trial enrolled older patients who underwent total hip/knee arthroplasty and randomized them to receive intranasal dexmedetomidine (2.0 μg/kg) or saline daily at around 9 p.m. after surgery until discharge. The primary outcomes were subjective sleep quality assessed with the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (LSEQ). The secondary outcomes included the objective sleep quality measured with the Acti-graph, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI). The other outcomes included the incidence of delirium, levels of inflammatory factors, visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, postoperative opioid consumption, and treatment-related adverse events. Results: 174 patients were screened for eligibility, and 110 were recruited and analyzed. The DEX group had significantly higher scores on both the LSEQ-Getting to sleep and LSEQ-Quality of Sleep at each time point compared to the placebo (p < 0.0001), The least squares (LS) mean difference in LSEQ-GTS score at T0 between placebo group and DEX group was 2 (95% CI, -1-6), p = 0.4071 and at T5 was -14 (95% CI, -17 to -10), p < 0.0001; The LS mean difference in the LSEQ-QOS score at T0 was -1 (95% CI, -4 to 1), p = 0.4821 and at T5 was -16 (95% CI, -21 to -10), p < 0.0001. The DEX group exhibited significant improvement in Total Sleep Time (TST), Sleep Onset Latency (SOL), and Sleep Efficiency (SE), at each time point after treatment compared to the placebo group (p < 0.0001). The PSQI and ISI scores in the DEX group were reduced after treatment (p < 0.001). No significant adverse events were reported with the use of dexmedetomidine. Conclusion and Implications: This study demonstrates that intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine improves postoperative sleep quality in older patients with chronic insomnia who undergo surgery, without increasing the incidence of adverse effects.

A randomized controlled study of a psycho-behavioral intervention combined with a non-benzodiazepine to improve perioperative sleep quality in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Front Surg 2023; 10:1113577. [PMID: 37520152 PMCID: PMC10375408 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1113577] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective To clarify the effectiveness and safety of psycho-behavioral intervention combined with a non-benzodiazepine to improve perioperative sleep quality in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, and also to explore the optimal dosage of non-benzodiazepine (oral zolpidem tartrate) to form a standardized sleep quality management process to promote accelerated recovery of patients. Methods 240 patients undergoing initial unilateral total knee arthroplasty between January and December 2016 were prospectively included and randomly divided into blank control group (group A), psycho-behavioral intervention group (group B), zolpidem tartrate 10 mg group (group C), and psycho-behavioral intervention + zolpidem tartrate 5 mg group (group D). Sleep, pain, psychological, and knee function scores were compared. Results There were significant differences between the four groups with respect to Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores, sleep efficiency, Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, inflammatory indices, pain, and enhanced recovery after surgery indices during hospitalization (P < 0.05). Conclusion Psychological behavioral intervention combined with non-benzodiazepine can improve the perioperative quality of sleep. Compared with drug intervention alone, it reduces the dosage of non-benzodiazepine, alleviates anxiety, improves patient satisfaction, and enhances the quality of life.

Derivation of a clinical prediction rule for chronic post-surgical pain after total knee arthroplasty considering biopsychosocial factors: A prospective cohort study. Knee 2023; 42:364-372. [PMID: 37150024 DOI: 10.1016/j.knee.2023.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2022] [Revised: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 05/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Biopsychosocial factors are involved in the occurrence of chronic post-surgical pain (CPSP) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical prediction rule (CPR) that considers biopsychosocial factors to predict which patients are more likely to develop CPSP after TKA. METHODS CPSP after TKA was dichotomized into CPSP and non-CPSP groups using the Likert scale and Minimal clinically important difference, and binomial logistic regression analysis was performed. Cut-off values were then calculated using the extracted factors and dichotomized variables. The cut-off values and dichotomized variables were then used to derive a CPR that discriminates between groups with and without CPSP. RESULTS Seventy-one TKA patients were included in the study. Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that Central Sensitization Inventory (CSI) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were associated with CPSP. The cut-off values for CSI and PSQI were 26 and 7, respectively. The CPSP scale was created using the cut-off values of CSI and PSQI, with a score of 0 for being below the cut-off values of both CSI and PSQI, 1 for being above the cut-off values of either CSI or PSQI, and 2 for being above the cut-off values of both CSI and PSQI. Furthermore, the area under the curve (AUC) for CPR created by the presence of CPSP and using the CPSP scale was significant (AUC = 0.766; P = 0.001). CONCLUSION The combination of the two tests, CSI and PSQI, suggested the possibility of predicting CPSP after TKA.

Abstract
➤ There is increasing evidence that patient-reported outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are associated with psychosocial factors and pain catastrophizing. Sleep disturbance, pain, and mental health have a complex interaction, which, if unrecognized, can be associated with impaired patient-reported outcomes and dissatisfaction following TKA. ➤ The gold standard of objective sleep assessment is polysomnography, which is not feasible to use routinely for TKA patients. Wearable devices are a validated and less costly alternative. ➤ Subjective sleep measures, such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, or Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computerized adaptive test sleep domains, are simple to administer and provide additional insight into sleep disturbance. Although objective and subjective measures do not correlate precisely, they can be informative together. ➤ Sleep disturbances in the elderly population are common and multifactorial in etiology, stemming from the interplay of sleep disorders, medication side effects, and pain. Commonly prescribed medications following TKA as well as postoperative pain can exacerbate underlying sleep disturbances. ➤ Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is prevalent in patients seeking TKA. In the setting of OSA, postoperative opioids can cause respiratory depression, resulting in consequences as severe as death. A standardized multimodal pain protocol including anti-inflammatories and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogues may allow for decreased reliance on opioids for pain control. ➤ Surgeons should reassure patients that postoperative sleep disturbance is common and transient, collaborate with the patient's primary care doctor to address sleep disturbance, and avoid prescription of pharmaceutical sleep aids.

Melatonin Does Not Improve Sleep Quality in a Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial After Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty. J Am Acad Orthop Surg 2022; 30:e287-e294. [PMID: 34724457 DOI: 10.5435/jaaos-d-21-00243] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/19/2021] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep disturbance is a common concern among patients who have undergone total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Poor sleep during the postoperative period affect quality of life directly and may influence pain recovery after TJA. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate whether the daily use of exogenous melatonin for 6 weeks after TJA can mitigate the effects of TJA on sleep. METHODS A cohort of 118 patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty or total knee arthroplasty from 2018 to 2020 were randomized to melatonin (6 mg) or placebo for 42 days after surgery. Inclusion criterion was patients undergoing unilateral primary TJA. Patients who underwent bilateral TJA and revision TJA, with a history of sleep disturbance, and on opioid medication or sleep aids preoperatively were excluded. Sleep quality was assessed at baseline and at 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively using the validated self-administered questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Continuous and categorical variables were analyzed using Student t-test and chi-square analysis, respectively. Multivariate linear regression analysis was also conducted. RESULTS Patients in both groups exhibited higher PSQI scores, representing lower sleep quality, at both 2 and 6 weeks postoperatively compared with that at baseline. Overall, global PSQI scores were 6.8, 9.8, and 8.8 at baseline, week 2, and week 6, respectively. No significant differences were noted between melatonin and placebo groups at baseline (6.8 versus 6.8, P = 0.988), week 2 (10.2 versus 9.3, P = 0.309), or week 6 (8.8 versus 8.7, P = 0.928). In multivariable regression, the only significant predictors of increased PSQI scores were an elevated baseline PSQI score (at both time points), a decreased length of stay (at week 2 only), and patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty versus total knee arthroplasty (at week 6 only). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing TJA had poor sleep quality both preoperatively and postoperatively. The use of exogenous melatonin did not demonstrate any notable effect on sleep quality.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an accepted, effective treatment to restore function, relieve pain, and improve the quality of life in patients with advanced osteoarthritis. One complication of this major surgery is impaired sleep quality. This study examines the quality of sleep in patients undergoing TKA before and after their operation. Methods All relevant records were obtained using a systematic search in three online databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library. Out of the 177 records retrieved, only eight matched the inclusion criteria. Due to the lack of sufficient data, only four studies entered the meta-analysis. Values reported for sleep quality based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were extracted from patient records before and after surgery. A random-effect model was used to analyze the data. Results The results of the meta-analysis show a significant difference in the improvement of sleep quality after surgery at two time points of 4–6 weeks after surgery from the preoperative baseline (SMD − 0.16; 95% CI − 1.05 to 0.74; P = 0.0) and 3–6 months after surgery from the preoperative baseline (SMD − 0.92; 95% CI − 1.61 to − 0.24; P = 0.0). Conclusions The results show that TKA generally improves the patients’ sleep quality. Although some studies reported disrupted sleep quality in periods close to the surgery (especially in the early days after surgery), all studies have reported improved sleep quality in the late postoperative intervals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Insomnia is common in patients undergoing surgery. It can increase the rate of postoperative complications, interfere with patient recovery, and decrease hospital satisfaction. However, there are few studies on perioperative insomnia. This study was conducted to investigate the differences in the demographic, health status, and clinical characteristics of patients with and without insomnia postoperatively, and to identify the potential risk factors of insomnia. METHODS There were 299 non-cardiac surgery patients, 165 females, and 134 males, with a mean age of 55 years, enrolled in the study. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7 (GAD-7), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) were administered to all the patients preoperatively. The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) was used preoperatively, and at the end of the surgery, and then one day, two days, and three days after surgery. The PHQ-9, the GAD-7, and the ISI were repeated three days after surgery. Insomnia was diagnosed by the ISI as being a score of 8-28 (mild: 8-14; moderate-severe: 15-21; severe: 22-28). The patients were divided into group A (with insomnia, N=78) and group B (without insomnia, N=221) according to their ISI score three days after surgery. The general clinical data of the two groups were analyzed first, and then binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the risk factors of insomnia. RESULTS A total of 299 non-cardiac surgery patients with a mean age of 55 years were enrolled in the study. Of the included patients, the number of females was 165 and the number of the male was 134. The incidence of insomnia at 3 days postoperatively was 26.1% (78/299). The average points that group A patients scored in the ISI, PHQ-9, and the GAD-7 were significantly higher than those in group B. The VAS score three days after surgery was significantly higher in group A. The PHQ-9 and the GAD-7 three days after surgery showed significantly higher depression and anxiety scores in group A. Logistic regression showed that the ISI (p<0.001, 95% CI=1.218-1.500) and the GAD-7 (p=0.003, 95% CI=1.041-1.218) preoperatively, and the PHQ-9 postoperatively (p<0.001, 95% CI=1.226-1.555), were risk factors of insomnia. CONCLUSION Insomnia is common and can worsen after surgery. The present study suggests that depression and anxiety are risk factors for insomnia after surgery. There is a need for further research and the development of strategies for depression and anxiety management to ensure better sleep quality for patients, which will be of significant benefit to their health. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was registered at clinical trial (NCT04027751); Trial registration: clinical trial, NCT04027751.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to determine the prevalence and factors independently associated with chronic pain. METHODS Participants ≥ 65 years of age admitted to a geriatric outpatient-clinic were recruited between November 2012 and May 2018. Chronic pain is defined as presence of musculoskeletal system-based pain ongoing more than 3 months. Numeric rating scale (NRS) was applied to assess pain severity. Physical activity status was recorded as never or 1-2 times per week or everyday as appropriate. Following geriatric syndromes were assessed: sleep problem, fall within past year, depression by Geriatric Depression Scale Short Form (GDS-SF), frailty by FRAIL scale, functionality by modified Katz activities of daily living (ADL) and Lawton instrumental ADL scales, and quality of life by Euro-Quality of Life-5D (EQ-5D) and EQ Visual Analog Scale. RESULTS The study population consisted of 1441 patients. Of those, 969 were female and 472 were male. Mean age was 75.5 ± 6.6 years. The prevalence of chronic pain was 54.2% (n = 781). The median NRS score was 5 (1-10). Female gender, sleep problem, decreased functionality, and lower quality of life were independently associated with chronic pain after adjustment for educational status, presence of physical activity, fall within the past year, depression, and frailty. When the second analysis performed after the data with larger amount of missing value is removed, female gender and frailty remained independently associated with chronic pain. CONCLUSION Chronic pain is common and independently associated with female gender and frailty in geriatric outpatients. Factors those are associated with chronic pain, as documented in this study, may induce further longitudinal studies.

Gastrointestinal recall questionnaires compare poorly with prospective patient diaries for gastrointestinal symptoms: data from population and primary health centre samples. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2019; 31:163-169.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical understanding of gastrointestinal symptoms is commonly based on patient reports of symptom experience. For diagnosis and treatment choices to be appropriate, symptom reports need to be accurate. We examined the agreement between questionnaire recall and prospective diary enumeration of symptoms relevant to the irritable bowel syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data are reported from a randomly selected general population sample (n=238) and also a primary healthcare centre (PHC) sample (n=503, 10 PHCs). All the patients completed the questionnaires, which included Rome III-qualifying irritable bowel syndrome items and a stool and symptom diary over either 7 or 14 days. Agreement between retrospective questionnaire reports and prospective diaries was evaluated. RESULTS Concordance between questionnaires and diaries was highest for the simple construct of the occurrence of abdominal pain, although after adjusting for possible chance, agreement was only moderate in the general population sample. More complex constructs, such as pain relieved by defecation, yielded poorer concordance. In general, concordance was stronger among PHC respondents than in the general population sample. CONCLUSION Concordance between questionnaires and diaries was generally poor and related to the complexity of the symptom construct and the type of respondent. The information used to classify individuals based on patient self-report may be unreliable, and therefore, more effort is needed to develop data collection instruments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to investigate the influence of parameters of malalignment on knee function 5 years post TKA and, additionally, to explore alterations in patellar height after TKA. METHODS All 661 patients undergoing TKA between 2010 and 2011 were considered for inclusion. Preoperative and 1-year postoperative short-leg radiographs were assessed for malalignment parameters: coronal tibial angle (cTA), sagittal tibial angle (sTA), femoral flexion angle (FFA) and mediolateral tibial mismatch. Patellar height was measured using the modified Insall-Salvati ratio. We determined improvements in knee function utilizing the Knee Society Score (Function score, KSS-F), Oxford Knee Score (OKS) and Algofunctional index (AI). Influences of malalignment parameters were analyzed univariate and selected (p < 0.10) for multivariate linear regression analysis. Inter-observer reproducibility was assessed by test-retest analysis of 30 randomly selected radiographs and calculation of an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for all radiographic parameters. RESULTS Three-hundred and four patients were included. Multivariate regression showed degrees of cTA malalignment to be significantly associated with only the KSS-F (β = -3.52). Correction of coronal deformity was stronger associated with knee function (KSS-F β = 2.81; AI β = -0.36). Patellar height was significantly reduced after TKA (1.51 vs 1.44). Decrease of patellar height was weakly associated with the OKS (β = 10.69). ICC scores were: cTA 0.81, sTA 0.57, IS 0.72, FFA 0.75. CONCLUSION Postoperative coronal tibial plate alignment and correction of preoperative coronal deformity are associated with improved knee function 5 years post TKA. Decrease in patellar height was weakly associated with knee function. Short-leg radiography can be a sufficient screening tool for prosthesis alignment.

Abstract
Sleep disruption is a common, yet rarely addressed, complaint among patients who have undergone total joint arthroplasty (TJA). This study assessed sleep quality before and after primary TJA. A total of 105 patients who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) prospectively completed questionnaires during the preoperative, early postoperative, and late postoperative periods. The survey included the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, current sleeping habits, and patient perspectives of sleep quality and duration. In the early postoperative period (4.7±2.0 weeks), patients reported significant increases in sleep disturbance as denoted by increased length of time to fall asleep (P=.006) and mean nightly awakenings (P=.002) compared with the preoperative baseline. At late postoperative follow-up (40.8±19.5 weeks), patients' sleep quality subsequently improved above the preoperative baseline. Approximately 40% of patients tried a new sleeping method postoperatively, the most common being new pillow placement. No significant differences in pre- or postoperative sleeping trends were noted between THA and TKA patients. These findings suggest transient sleep disturbance is common in the early postoperative period, with subsequent improvement by 10-month follow-up after a primary TJA. Given the growing importance of patient satisfaction in health care systems, orthopedic surgeons must manage patients' expectations while working with them to optimize sleep quality after TJA. A multimodal approach with preoperative counseling, early postoperative sleep modifications, and possibly preemptive use of medications may improve transient sleep disturbance among TJA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the gold standard procedure for knee osteoarthritis. However, there have been conflicting reports concerning whether TKA is associated with modifications in patellar height. This controversy might be partially explained by the diversity of methods used to measure patellar height. Therefore, we aimed at assessing the reproducibility of 3 radiological indices commonly used to evaluate patellar height-Insall-Salvati (IS), Blackburne-Peel (BP), and Caton-Deschamps (CD) ratios. Additionally, we aimed at evaluating the short-term differences between preoperative and postoperative patellar heights as measured by those 3 methods. METHODS Patellar heights were blindly measured by 2 researchers using IS, BP, and CD ratios in 203 knees. Interobserver agreement was evaluated by determination of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots. Preoperative and postoperative patellar heights were compared with Wilcoxon test. The association between postoperative pain and modifications in patellar height was assessed using Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS High interobserver agreement was found for IS (preoperative and postoperative ICC = 0.93), BP (preoperative ICC = 0.89; postoperative ICC = 0.91), and CD (preoperative ICC = 0.89; postoperative ICC = 0.90) ratios. Preoperative and postoperative patellar heights were not significantly different whatever the method used. Postoperative pain was reported after 23% procedures and was significantly associated with wider patellar height variations as measured by the BP ratio (P = .018). CONCLUSION The methods evaluated appear to be reproducible. Although patellar height tended to be lower when measured postoperatively, this difference was not significant for any of the methods studied.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is a growing interest in the use of patient-reported outcomes to provide a more patient-centered view on treatment. Forgetting the artificial joint can be regarded as the goal in joint arthroplasty. The goals of the study were to describe changes in joint awareness in the artificial joint after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and to determine which factors among pain, knee range of motion (ROM), quadriceps strength, and functional ability affect joint awareness after TKA. HYPOTHESIS Patients undergoing TKA demonstrate changes in joint awareness and joint awareness is associated with pain, knee ROM, quadriceps strength, and functional ability. PATIENTS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study comprised 63 individuals undergoing TKA, evaluated at 1, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Outcomes included joint awareness assessed using the Forgotten Joint Score (FJS), pain score, knee ROM, quadriceps strength, and functional ability. RESULTS Fifty-eight individuals completed all postoperative assessments. All measures except for knee extension ROM improved from 1 to 6 months. However, there were no differences in any measures from 6 to 12 months. FJS was affected most greatly by pain at 1 month and by quadriceps strength at 6 and 12 months. DISCUSSION Patients following TKA demonstrate improvements in joint awareness and function within 6 months after surgery, but reach a plateau from 6 to 12 months. Quadriceps strength could contribute to this plateau of joint awareness. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prospective cohort study, IV.

Abstract
It is an important public health problem to identify risk factors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among the elderly. We recruited subjects from Ansan, Korea, as a subset of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), which is an ongoing population study, and followed up their sleep quality for 6 years. Mixed effect models were used to estimate the association between sleep quality and HRQoL, and we found that overall HRQoL was significantly lower to the elderly having poor sleep quality with adjustment for significant covariates although sleep quality showed a significant interaction effect with time for the mental component summary of SF-12. In particular, the elderly having lack of quality sleep appeared to have good general health, but their functional performances were significantly poor.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study examines the type, severity, and correlates of pain among underserved elderly African Americans. METHOD This cross-sectional study includes 400 non-institutionalized underserved aged African Americans, recruited from 16 African American churches located in South Los Angeles. RESULTS Two thirds of our participants reported a level of pain of 5 or higher (on a scale of 0-10) for at least one of the pain items. Participants with severe level of pain showed a higher level of insomnia, depression, and deficiency in activity of daily living as well as a lower level of memory function and quality of physical and mental health. Also, level of pain is a statistically significant correlate of office-based physician visits and emergency department admission. CONCLUSION Our findings encourage multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary interventions to include pharmacotherapy, psychological support, and physical rehabilitation, specifically on neuropathic pain among aged African Americans with multiple chronic conditions.
