Effectiveness, safety, and cost-utility of a knee brace in medial knee osteoarthritis: the ERGONOMIE randomized controlled trial. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2021; 29:491-501. [PMID: 33524515 DOI: 10.1016/j.joca.2020.11.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2019] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This pragmatic, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the effectiveness, safety, and cost-utility of a custom-made knee brace versus usual care over 1 year in medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN 120 patients with medial knee OA (VAS pain at rest >40/100), classified as Kellgren-Lawrence grade II-IV, were randomized into two groups: ODRA plus usual care (ODRA group) and usual care alone (UCA group). The primary effectiveness outcome was the change in VAS pain between M0 and M12. Secondary outcomes included changes over 1 year in KOOS (function) and OAKHQOL (quality of life) scores. Drug consumption, compliance, safety of the knee brace, and cost-utility over 1 year were also assessed. RESULTS The ODRA group was associated with a higher improvement in: VAS pain (adjusted mean difference of -11.8; 95% CI: -21.1 to -2.5); all KOOS subscales (pain: +8.8; 95% CI: 1.4-16.2); other symptoms (+10.4; 95% CI: 2.7-18); function in activities of daily living (+9.2; 95% CI: 1.1-17.2); function in sports and leisure (+12.3; 95% CI: 4.3-20.3); quality of life (+9.9; 95% CI: 0.9-15.9), OAKHQOL subscales (pain: +14.8; 95% CI: 5.0-24.6); and physical activities (+8.2; 95% CI: 0.6-15.8), and with a significant decrease in analgesics consumption at M12 compared with the UCA group. Despite localized side-effects, observance was good at M12 (median: 5.3 h/day). The ODRA group had a more than 85% chance of being cost-effective for a willingness-to-pay threshold of €45 000 per QALY. CONCLUSIONS The ERGONOMIE RCT demonstrated significant clinical benefits of an unloader custom-made knee brace in terms of improvements in pain, function, and some aspects of quality of life over 1 year in medial knee OA, as well as its potential cost-utility from a societal perspective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gas gangrene of the abdominal wall is a rare clinical occurrence with high rates of morbidity and mortality. The primary source of the infection is often unknown. To analyze the primary underlying intestinal etiologies and diagnostic approaches of gas gangrene of the abdominal wall, and to highlight specific treatment problems, particularly that of constructing a colostomy exteriorized through a massively infected abdominal wall. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seven cases of abdominal wall gas gangrene due to a gastrointestinal etiology were identified. (Cases arising from proctologic sources or related to recent abdominal surgery were excluded.) During the same period, 39 other patients presenting with abdominal wall gangrene from non-intestinal sources were treated. RESULTS The etiologies were: perforated sigmoid diverticulitis (n=2), perforated appendicitis (n=1), acute pancreatitis with associated cecal perforation (n=1), and perforated colorectal cancer (n=3). Four of the seven patients died despite treatment (mortality of 57%). CONCLUSION The clinical presentations of these seven cases demonstrate that a GI source must be suspected whenever a patient presents with abdominal wall gas gangrene, even when there are no specific GI symptoms. Imaging, particularly with CT scan, is essential both to visualize the extent of tissue necrosis and to reveal underlying primary GI pathology. This optimizes the surgical approach both by allowing for complete debridement and drainage of infected tissue, and by focussing the intervention on correction of the underlying primary GI source of infection.

Abstract
The conservative management of kidney cancer is widely accepted as a therapeutic option for tumours measuring less than 4 cm or in case of underlying renal disease and solitary kidney. The functional and carcinologic success of this conservative treatment results from a radical resection of the tumour and a careful repair of the collecting system and selective ligature of the vessels. Kidney artery clamping is a key to reach these objectives. The cooling of the kidney preserves from warm ischemia and reperfusion lesions. In this review, we explain the physiological basis of warm ischemia induced kidney lesions due to the kidney artery clamping and the advantage of hypothermia. The surgical technique as described by Novick is detailed. This well standardized technique has the advantage of being reproducible and adaptable to all situations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the long-term results of bladder neck reconstruction (BNR) in patients with classical bladder exstrophy or epispadias, and to review the concept of continence surgery in these two groups, stressing the difficulty in finding an adequate balance between urine storage (which implies high outlet resistance and low storage pressure) and complete bladder emptying (which implies low outlet resistance and a transient increase in bladder pressure); surgery cannot achieve 'continence' (which implies active mechanisms) but only 'dryness' (which implies passive mechanisms). PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty patients with classical bladder exstrophy (52 male, 28 female) and 25 with incontinent epispadias (17 male, 18 female) had their bladder neck reconstructed after a Young-Dees-Leadbetter procedure, subsequently modified by Mollard. The treatment is detailed and results reviewed after a mean follow-up of 11 years. All patients were treated and followed in the same institution. RESULTS In the exstrophy group, 36 (45%) patients presented with a dry interval of > 3 h, with urethral emptying after one BNR; 52 (65%) presented with recurrent urinary tract infections, 19 (24%) with urinary stones, 21 (26%) with dilated upper urinary tracts, 13 (16%) with bladder perforations and one with an adenocarcinoma of the bladder. Thirty-eight patients (48%) required further surgery; 51% of all patients required an endoscopic procedure within 3 months after the BNR and 26% had endoscopic procedures for late (> 3 months) urine retention. In the epispadias group, 13 (52%) patients presented with a dry interval of > 3 h with urethral emptying after one BNR; 12 (48%) had recurrent urinary tract infections, five (20%) upper tract dilatation, two (8%) bladder stones, one (4%) bladder perforation and one an adenocarcinoma of the bowels after a ureterosigmoidostomy. Ten (40%) children required further surgery. CONCLUSION We compared the present results for continence with those in other published series; most complications encountered were related to the obstructive pattern of bladder emptying and the abnormal bladder urodynamic behaviour caused by BNR. We consider that BNR is unpredictable and the roles of the other factors in urinary continence are discussed. Alternative procedures are detailed. The concept of continence surgery in exstrophy and incontinent epispadias is reviewed, stressing the importance of favouring bladder development and limiting obstructive patterns of bladder emptying that cause severe and recurrent complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify how patients with knee arthritis modify their equilibrium and movement control strategies during gait initiation. DESIGN Observational study. SETTING University hospital movement analysis laboratory. PARTICIPANTS Twelve patients with unilateral knee arthritis and 12 healthy control subjects. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Durations of the phases of gait initiation (ie, postural, monopodal, and double-support phases), center-of-pressure displacements, ground reaction forces, pelvic velocity, step length, and knee range of motion were measured using a movement analysis system and force plates. RESULTS Gait initiation was slower in patients than in controls no matter which leg was the supporting one. In patients, the durations of the postural and the monopodal phases were modified in an asymmetrical way according to the leg used as the supporting one. The postural phase was lengthened and the monopodal phase was shortened when the affected leg was the supporting one. Opposite effects were observed when the sound leg was supporting. Step length, knee range of motion, and maximal pelvic velocity were reduced in patients whatever the side of the supporting leg. CONCLUSION Gait initiation is an asymmetrical process in unilateral knee arthritis patients, who develop adaptive posturomotor strategies that shorten the monopodal phase on the affected leg.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to display the result obtained by the contingent negative variation (CNV) recording in patients suffering from headache. Eighty-five patients were taken into account: 59 with migraines (M) and 26 with tension headache (TH). A typical CNV pattern (high CNV amplitude with no habituation) differentiated M from TH. Moreover, psychological data were collected through Rorschach ink blot test among 42 headache sufferers (31 M and 11 TH). The typical Rorschach repressive pattern of alexithymia was found as well in M as in TH while CNV amplitude was significantly higher in the 31 M (-25 microV) than in the 11 TH (-19 microV FP less than 0.04). Biochemical data collected among 28 patients (17 M and 11 TH) revealed a positive correlation between CNV amplitude and plasma level of noradrenaline, regardless of the type of headache (r = 0.58; P less than 0.01). Thus, besides psychological factors, catecholaminergic mechanisms seem implicated in the determination of the CNV pattern in migraine. CNV may help the clinician both to specify diagnosis and to decide between the many therapeutic strategies available.

Abstract
Thirty-three patients with common migraine underwent contingent negative variation (CNV) recordings before receiving prophylactic beta-blocker treatment with either metoprolol (27 patients) or propranolol (6 patients) at mean daily dosages of 110 mg and 122 mg, respectively. After 3 months the therapeutic efficacy of the beta-blocker was assessed in each patient by means of a global severity score and compared with the initial CNV recordings. The mean clinical improvement was 62%. A significant positive correlation was found between CNV amplitude before prophylaxis and the clinical response to beta-blockers: patients with higher CNV tended to respond better to therapy. Eight of 10 patients with a CNV amplitude higher than -25 microV had a more than 50% reduction of the severity score--that is, a good or excellent response to the beta-blocking agent--whereas only 2 of 9 patients with an amplitude lower than -20 microV had a good response.

Abstract
This study had for objective to detect the psychological morbidity of 176 non-consulting primiparas in the region of Liege using both the PSE and a sociological questionnaire. A high incidence of anxio-depressive manifestations was recorded in the month following birth (almost 27% of the cases) and their persistence at a lower rate in the 8th and 18th month. We were finally able to point out a certain number of risk factors: socioeconomic and familial conditions, somatic factors (difficult pregnancy and birth), recent psychological trauma or persistent conflict.

Abstract
Contingent negative variation (CNV), an event-related slow cerebral potential, was analyzed in 79 consecutive headache patients. Compared to normal controls (n = 33), CNV did not differ in tension headache (n = 21) or in combined headaches with a predominant tension component (n = 13). The mean amplitude of CNV was significantly (p less than 0.001) increased in migraine (n = 29) as well as in combined headache with predominant migraine (n = 16). All migraineurs were studied between attacks and without prophylactic treatment. CNV may be a useful diagnostic test in headache. Its increased amplitude in migraine might reflect central catecholaminergic hyperactivity.

Abstract
The Present State Examination elaborated by Wing, Cooper and Sartorius aims at standardizing the psychiatric examination by controlling the interview technique, the definition of symptoms, and the taxinomic rationale. The method consists of two successive steps: a "human step" (evaluation of 140 symptoms) and a "computer step" (the CATEGO program, compatible with the WHO International Classification of Diseases). Besides its interest for clinical research, the Present State Examination is extremely helpful in clinical routine and in teaching. A few examples from the work done in our department are given. They concern an epidemiological study of recent mothers, a methodological reflexion on subjects presenting a borderline personality, and on a comparative study of female alcoholism.

Abstract
Refusal of military duty appearing to be a deviant social attitude, the authors have investigated the relationship between this behaviour and personality. They hypothesize that the rigid attitude of the Jehovah Wittness, refusing military duty and civil service, would be linked to paranoïd structure, and conscientious objectors to border-line states. A triple approach (clinical, Rorschach and aggressivity inventory of Buss and Durkee) was used; representative groups of these two populations were compared to control military recruits. Rorschach protocoles did not differentiate the Jehovah and control group, both being characterized by poor items and retraction. The authors interpret there data by possible absence of motivation in controls, or a rigid psychological organisation, which could be related habits in life and spirit of our societies. For the objectors, these are richer and more open. Five out of twelve appear to have a border-line organisation.

Abstract
Three groups of patients were compared statistically: 79 with the diagnosis psychosomatic headache' (in the strict sense of the term), 450 others whose headache was part of another disorder (termed symptomatic headache'), and 850 patients free from headache symptoms. The following characteristics were found for the group with psychosomatic headache: More psychosomatic diseases in the family, usually the eldest in birth rank, usually living in towns, married, two children, intellectual level above average, overweight, ego-strength with compulsive features, tendency towards oral abuse of different kinds, few other psychosomatic complaints (contrary to the group with symptomatic headache). In the discussion the Authors try to demonstrate the defensive function of this selective somatisation.

Abstract
Three groups of patients were compared statistically: 79 with the diagnosis "psychosomatic headache" (in the strict sense of the term), 450 others whose headache was part of another disorder (termed "symptomatic headache"), and 850 patients free from headache symptoms. The following characteristics were found for the group with psychosomatic headache: More psychosomatic diseases in the family, usually the eldest in birth rank, usually living in towns, married, two children, intellectual level about average, overweight, ego-strength with compulsive features, tendency towards oral abuse of different kinds, few other psychosomatic complaints (contrary to the group with symptomatic headache). In the discussion the authors try to demonstrate the defensive function of this selective somatisation.

Abstract
According to their own standardized Patient Data Inventory, the authors proceed to a statistical comparative evaluation of 55 males neurotic or psychosomatic hospitalized alcholics and of two control groups of non-alcoholic neurotic or psychosomatic male patients: 252 ambulatory and 72 hospitalized. The authors find significant differences between alcoholics and non-alcoholics, especially: 1 no.) heavier family history (psychoses, dysgenetic disorders), greater incidence of psychosomatic disorders in the previous history, more distrubed parental relations in childhood (maternal overprotection and lack of paternal authority); 2 no.) from the patient viewpoint: a louder expression of somatic and functionnal complaints; 3 no.) from the therapist viewpoint, less emotionality, weaker expression of aggressiveness (either overt or latent).
