RESUMO
BACKGROUND: While individual risk factors, including chronic corticosteroid use, alcohol abuse, and smoking, are implicated in osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), the degree to which multiple risk factors increase risk is unknown. This study aimed to: (1) identify the demographic characteristics of patients who have ONFH; (2) quantify the effects of individual risk factors on ONFH development; (3) quantify the effects of combined risk factors on ONFH development; and (4) determine the prognostic implications of combined risk factors on ONFH development. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study. A national insurance database was used to study a population of 2,612,383 adult patients who had a 10-year follow-up period. There were 10,233 patients identified who had a diagnosis of ONFH. We identified patients who had chronic corticosteroid use, tobacco use, and/or alcohol abuse and assessed the risk of developing ONFH over a 10-year period. Patients who had individual and multiple risk factors were grouped for comparison, and Chi-square analyses were performed. RESULTS: Higher proportions of patients who had each individual risk factor developed ONFH compared to proportions of patients who did not have risk factors. Patients who had combined risk factors were at greater risk of developing ONFH compared to patients who had no risk factors and those who had single risk factors. Combined risk factors demonstrated multiplicative effects on the development of ONFH: tobacco-alcohol risk ratio (RR) 5.25, corticosteroid-alcohol RR 10.20, tobacco-corticosteroid RR 8.69, and corticosteroid-tobacco-alcohol RR 12.54. Patients who had combined risk factors developed ONFH at younger ages than those who had single risk factors. Kaplan-Meier curve analyses demonstrated worse 10-year hip survival in the setting of combined risk factors. CONCLUSIONS: Combined risk factors have a multiplicative effect on the risk of developing of atraumatic ONFH. Orthopaedic surgeons may care for at-risk individuals through modulation of risk factors. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective Cohort Study, Level III.
RESUMO
Background: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a disorder affecting synthesis of collagen, typically presents with chronic pain, hypermobility, and early osteoarthritis. EDS patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) are at risk of dislocation and revision. Opioid use and impact on outcomes among this population remain unknown. Methods: A retrospective review was performed with a large national database querying the International Classification of Disease, tenth revision procedure codes identifying 1,244,368 primary THAs from 2015-2020. Two hundred thirty-eight EDS patients underwent THA and were propensity matched with population control based on age, sex, and obesity when comparing opioid prescription. To compare dislocation and revision outcomes, EDS patients were stratified into those receiving opioid prescriptions and those not. Multivariate analysis evaluated the association. Results: EDS patients were more likely prescribed opioids 90 days before (49.1% vs 34.7.0%, P < .0001) and after THA (59.7% vs 41.2%, P < .0001), with more preoperatively (1163.6 mme ±1562.8, P < .0001) and postoperatively (900.1 mme ±1235.9, P < .0001) than controls. In EDS patients prescribed opioids 90 days before THA, dislocation rate was 12.8% vs 7.1% not prescribed (odds ratio 2.08, 95% confidence interval 0.85-5.1). 14.8% of EDS patients who received opioids 90 days after THA dislocated vs 2.1% not prescribed (odds ratio 8.13, 95% confidence interval 1.87-35.7). Conclusions: EDS patients are more likely prescribed opioids before and after THA. Opioid prescription was associated with risk of dislocation, though we caution interpretation of causation. However, this suggests that the risks of worse outcomes in EDS patients undergoing THA are multifactorial. We should look at strategies to reduce opioid use prior to THA.
RESUMO
Background: The impact of amphetamine abuse on total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes has yet to be studied. As the rates of methamphetamine abuse continue to rise, understanding the risk profile of this population is imperative. This study aims to determine the risk of major surgical and medical complications for those with amphetamine abuse undergoing THA, with the hypothesis that amphetamine abuse carries increased risk. Methods: A retrospective review was performed with all-claims data files of a large national database querying International Classification of Disease, tenth revision, procedure codes identifying 333,038 primary THA, and 1027 with active amphetamine abuse. Medical and surgical complications including infection, dislocation, implant failure, periprosthetic fracture, and revision, as well as length of hospital stay and 90-day readmission rate, were identified. Univariate analysis compared rates of dependent outcomes. To account for independent variables, logistic regression was performed using age, Charlson comorbidity index, sex, obesity, tobacco use, and alcohol use. The results were presented as odds ratios (OR) and P values with significance set at <0.05. Results: Patients with active amphetamine abuse carried an increased risk of dislocation (OR 1.82, P ≤ .001), infection (OR 2.37, P ≤ .001), mechanical complications (OR 1.64, P ≤ .001), periprosthetic fracture (OR 1.53, P ≤ .05), revision (OR 1.70, P ≤ .001), 90-day readmission (OR 1.79, P ≤ .001), as well as medical complications (1.43, P = .02) compared to those without documented amphetamine abuse. Conclusions: Patients with amphetamine abuse are at increased risk of postoperative surgical and medical complications following THA. We recommend consideration of these risks prior to primary THA in this patient population.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic femur fracture is a known complication after THA. The associated risk of cementless femoral component design for periprosthetic femur fracture in a registry population of patients older than 65 years has yet to be clearly identified. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: (1) Is femoral stem geometry associated with the risk of periprosthetic femur fracture after cementless THA? (2) Is the presence or absence of a collar on cementless femoral implant designs associated with the risk of periprosthetic femur fracture after THA? METHODS: We analyzed American Joint Replacement Registry data from 2012 to March 2020. Unique to this registry is the high use of cementless femoral stems in patients 65 years and older. We identified 266,040 primary cementless THAs during the study period in patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis and surgeries linked to supplemental Centers for Medicare and Medicaid data where available. Patient demographics, procedure dates, and reoperation for periprosthetic femur fracture with revision or open reduction and internal fixation were recorded. The main analysis was performed comparing the Kheir and Chen classification: 42% (112,231 of 266,040) were single-wedge, 22% (57,758 of 266,040) were double-wedge, and 24% (62,983 of 266,040) were gradual taper/metadiaphyseal-filling cementless femoral components, which yielded a total of 232,972 primary cementless THAs. An additional analysis compared cementless stems with collars (20% [47,376 of 232,972]) with those with collarless designs (80% [185,596 of 232,972]). A Cox proportional hazard regression analysis with the competing risk of death was used to evaluate the association of design and fracture risk while adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS: After controlling for the potentially confounding variables of age, sex, geographic region, osteoporosis or osteopenia diagnosis, hospital volume, and the competing risk of death, we found that compared with gradual taper/metadiaphyseal-filling stems, single-wedge designs were associated with a greater risk of periprosthetic femur fracture (HR 2.9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.2 to 3.9]; p < 0. 001). Compared with gradual taper/metadiaphyseal-filling stems, double-wedge designs showed an increased risk of periprosthetic femur fracture (HR 3.0 [95% CI 2.2 to 4.0]; p < 0. 001). Collarless stems showed an increased risk of periprosthetic fracture compared with collared stems (HR 7.8 [95% CI 4.1 to 15]; p < 0. 001). CONCLUSION: If cementless femoral fixation is used for THA in patients 65 years or older, surgeons should consider using gradual taper/metadiaphyseal-filling and collared stem designs because they are associated with a lower risk of periprosthetic femur fracture. Future investigations should compare gradual taper/metadiaphyseal-filling and collared cementless designs with cemented fixation in this population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.

BACKGROUND: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of acute acetabular fractures may be indicated where there is high risk for failure of open reduction and internal fixation. This study aimed to determine risks of revision and rates of major complications of THA for acute acetabular fractures. METHODS: A retrospective review was performed (all-claims data files of a large national database) by querying International Classification of Disease, 10th revision procedure codes for THA within 14 days of acetabular fracture. We identified all-cause revision and surgical complications including dislocations, mechanical failures (loosenings or broken prostheses), infections, as well as medical complications. Demographic data collected included age, sex, obesity, and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Multivariate analyses evaluated the association of revision and major surgical complications after adjusting for demographic characteristics and comorbidities. We identified 956 THAs for the treatment of acute acetabular fracture from 2015 to 2020. Of all acute acetabular fractures treated with THA, 241 were concomitant with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and 715 were THA-alone. RESULTS: All-cause revision risk was 18.2%, overall major surgical complication rate 26.9%, and medical complication rate was 13.2%. Women were associated with increased risk of revision (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.8; confidence interval (CI) 1.3 to 2.6, P = .001), dislocation (aOR 2.0; CI 1.5 to 3.1, P < .001), mechanical complication (aOR 2.1; CI 1.4 to 3.2, P < .001), and infection (aOR 1.6; CI 1.0 to 2.5, P = .044). CONCLUSION: We noted risk of all-cause revision of 18.2%, overall major surgical complication rate of 26.9%, and overall major medical complication rate of 13.2% for THA as the treatment of acute acetabular fracture. We caution against broad expansion of THA for treatment of acute acetabular fractures. Furthermore, increased risks of revision and complications in women warrant additional investigation into patient and fracture characteristics that may contribute to this finding.

BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic femur fracture (PPFx) is a devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Despite concerns for increased PPFx, cementless fixation predominates in the United States. This study used the American Joint Replacement Registry to compare PPFx risk between cemented and cementless femoral fixation for THA. METHODS: An analysis of primary THA cases in patients aged 65 years and more was performed with the American Joint Replacement Registry data linked to Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data from 2012 to 2020. Analyses compared cemented to cementless femoral fixation. We identified 279,052 primary THAs, 266,040 (95.3%) with cementless and 13,012 (4.7%) with cemented femoral fixation. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses evaluated the association of fixation and PPFx risk, while adjusting for sex, age, and competing risk of mortality. Cumulative incidence function survival curves evaluated time to PPFx. RESULTS: Age ≥ 80 years (P < .0001) and women (P < .0001) were associated with PPFx. Compared to cemented stems, cementless stems had an elevated risk of PPFx (Hazards Ratio 7.70, 95% Confidence interval 3.2-18.6, P < .0001). The cumulative incidence function curves demonstrated an increased risk for PPFx across all time points for cementless stems, with equal magnitude of risk to 8 years.` CONCLUSION: Cementless femoral fixation in THA continues to predominate in the United States, with cementless femoral fixation demonstrating increased risk of PPFx in patients aged 65 years or more. Surgeons should consider greater use of cemented femoral fixation in this population to decrease the risk of PPFx.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review synthesizes recent research on remotely delivered interventions for obesity treatment, including summarizing outcomes and challenges to implementing these treatments as well as outlining recommendations for clinical implementation and future research. RECENT FINDINGS: There are a wide range of technologies used for delivering obesity treatment remotely. Generally, these treatments appear to be acceptable and feasible, though weight loss outcomes are mixed. Engagement in these interventions, particularly in the long term, is a significant challenge. Newer technologies are rapidly developing and enable tailored and adaptable interventions, though research in this area is in its infancy. Further research is required to optimize potential benefits of remotely delivered interventions for obesity.

BACKGROUND: Formal psychosocial support programs after weight-loss surgery are limited in scope and availability. OBJECTIVE: This randomized pilot study evaluated the feasibility of a postoperative behavioral intervention program. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Postoperative weight-loss surgery patients (N = 50) were recruited from February 2017-July 2017 and randomized to a four-month behavioral program or usual care wait-list. Outcomes evaluated in addition to feasibility included health-related quality of life (Short Form -36), psychosocial functioning and adherence. Secondary outcomes included within-group changes for each outcome. RESULTS: Out of eight possible sessions, intervention participants attended a mean of 4.2 sessions. Intervention group participants experienced greater improvements in the social functioning domain of health-related quality of life compared to usual care. Self-reported dietary adherence in the intervention group remained stable, while usual care group dietary adherence declined. Within the intervention group, participants also reported gains in the physical function, pain and general health aspects of quality life from baseline to post-treatment. No differences in weight, mood or other eating behaviors (e.g., loss of control, emotional eating) were evident between groups. CONCLUSION: Though participation in a postoperative behavioral intervention varied, the program helped participants to maintain aspects of quality of life and self-reported adherence to dietary recommendations. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03092479.

Sustained weight loss and health improvements after bariatric surgery require long-term monitoring and, for a significant minority of patients, postoperative intervention. Unfortunately, many patients demonstrate difficulty engaging in long-term follow-up and treatment due to time restrictions, geographic limitations, and financial burden. Conducting assessments and interventions remotely may help to mitigate these barriers, allowing for greater access to care and improved outcomes. This review will summarize the results of research using remote methods to conduct assessments and implement interventions with patients after bariatric surgery. Benefits and challenges of implementing these approaches will be highlighted, and future directions in this area will be discussed.

After bariatric surgery, rates of adherence to behavioral recommendations, including attending regular appointments and following specific dietary, physical activity, and vitamin use recommendations, tend to be highly variable across studies. Lack of consistency in measurement of adherence is a likely contributor to this variability, making it challenging to determine the prevalence and impact of nonadherence in this population. PubMed was searched for articles measuring behavioral adherence or compliance in patients after bariatric surgery, resulting in 85 articles. Articles were reviewed for the definition and measurement of adherence in each area (appointment attendance, as well as dietary, physical activity, and vitamin use adherence), and on the use and reporting of recommended adherence measurement strategies. Over half of the articles measured adherence to appointment attendance. Significant variability was found across adherence definitions and measurement methods, and use of recommended adherence measurement strategies was poor. Adherence was mostly commonly measured via self-report (either verbal or written) using cutoffs for adherent versus nonadherent behavior. Over half of studies assessed adherence up to ≥2 years postsurgery. Recommendations for ways to improve adherence measurement in patients who have had bariatric surgery are outlined.

Asian American women experience sociocultural pressures that could place them at increased risk for experiencing body and face dissatisfaction. Asian American and White women completed measures of appearance evaluation, overweight preoccupation, face satisfaction, face dissatisfaction frequency, perfectionism, surveillance, interdependent and independent self-construal, and perceived sociocultural pressures. In Study 1 (N=182), Asian American women were more likely than White women to report low appearance evaluation (24% vs. 12%; d=-0.50) and to be sometimes-always dissatisfied with the appearance of their eyes (38% vs. 6%; d=0.90) and face overall (59% vs. 34%; d=0.41). In Study 2 (N=488), they were more likely to report low appearance evaluation (36% vs. 23%; d=-0.31) and were less likely to report high eye appearance satisfaction (59% vs. 88%; d=-0.84). The findings highlight the importance of considering ethnic differences when assessing body and face image.

The prevalence of obesity increases as women move from adolescence to young adulthood, and college women have been identified as a population at risk for unhealthy weight gain. Studies of weight gain in college populations have revealed that significant, variable weight change occurs in as few as eight weeks, but few have included participants beyond their freshman year of college or assessed body composition. The aims of the study were to use a repeated measures design to identify patterns of weight change among college women at all grade levels and to evaluate factors that may predict weight change over a one-year period. Undergraduate college women (N=131) completed measures of physical activity, dietary restraint, living conditions, and body dissatisfaction at baseline, 6-months, and 12-months. Height, weight, and body composition were collected at all assessment periods. Forty-four percent of participants gained at least 3lb, 23% lost at least 3lb, and 33% maintained weight over one year. Weight change was associated with changes in body fat and was not related to baseline BMI or age. There were no significant differences between grade levels, suggesting that future studies should include women at all grade levels. Baseline physical activity, dietary restraint, living conditions, and body dissatisfaction did not predict weight change at one year, nor did they differentiate between individuals in the three weight change categories. Further research is needed to identify the factors associated with weight gain in young adult women, and such studies should not be limited to college freshmen.

The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3) and its earlier versions are measures designed to assess societal and interpersonal aspects of appearance ideals. Correlational, structural equation modeling, and prospective studies of the SATAQ-3 have shown consistent and significant associations with measures of body image disturbance and eating pathology. In the current investigation, the SATAQ-3 was revised to improve upon some conceptual limitations and was evaluated in 4 U.S. and 3 international female samples, as well as a U.S. male sample. In Study 1, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses for a sample of women from the Southeastern United States (N = 859) indicated a 22-item scale with 5 factors: Internalization: Thin/Low Body Fat, Internalization: Muscular/Athletic, Pressures: Family, Pressures: Media, Pressures: Peers. This scale structure was confirmed in 3 independent and geographically diverse samples of women from the United States (East Coast N = 440, West Coast N = 304, and North/Midwest N = 349). SATAQ-4 scale scores demonstrated excellent reliability and good convergent validity with measures of body image, eating disturbance, and self-esteem. Study 2 replicated the factorial validity, reliability, and convergent validity of the SATAQ-4 in an international sample of women drawn from Italy, England, and Australia (N = 362). Study 3 examined a sample of college males from the United States (N = 271); the 5-factor solution was largely replicated, yet there was some evidence of an underlying structure unique to men. Future research avenues include additional item testing and modification of the scale for men, as well as adaptation of the measure for children and adolescents.

Recent advances in psychological intervention research have led to an increase in evidence-based interventions (EBIs), yet there remains a lag in dissemination and implementation of EBIs. Task-shifting and the train-the-trainer (TTT) model offer two potential strategies for enhancing reach of EBIs. The Body Project, an EBI found to prevent onset of eating disorders, served as the vehicle for this dissemination/implementation study. The primary aim of this study was to determine if training of peer-leaders for the Body Project could be task-shifted to undergraduate students using a hybrid task-shifting/TTT model. Our secondary aim was to determine if subgroups of participants evidenced different trajectories of change through 14-month follow-up. Regarding the first aim, we found almost no evidence to suggest that a presence of a doctoral-level trainer yielded superior participant outcomes compared to training by undergraduates alone. Regarding Aim 2, almost all classes for all variables evidenced improvement or a benign response. Additionally, for three key risk factors (thin-ideal internalization, body dissatisfaction, and ED symptoms) virtually all trajectories showed improvement. This study provides initial support for the use of a blended task-shifting/TTT approach to dissemination and implementation within prevention generally, and further support for broad dissemination of the Body Project specifically.

OBJECTIVE: This study describes the development, content validity, and convergent validity of the Loss of Control over Eating Scale (LOCES). METHOD: An initial pool of 56 items covering 13 facets of loss-of-control eating was assembled by reviewing qualitative literature, clinical descriptions, and research on binge eating. Eating disorder experts (n = 34) and eating disorder clients (n = 22) rated each proposed item's clarity and relevance to the construct of loss-of-control eating, rated 13 facets for their relevance to the construct, and provided open-ended feedback about the items and facets. Based on the experts' and clients' quantitative and qualitative feedback, scale items were clarified, 28 items were added, and 10 were deleted. University students (n = 476; 70% female, mean age = 20.4 years) completed the resulting 74-item questionnaire, rating how often they had the experience identified in the item while eating in the last 4 weeks. They also completed the measures of eating disturbance, general distress, functional impairment, and general self-control. RESULTS: The resulting 24-item LOCES (Cronbach's α = .96) retained items with highest item-total correlations and coverage of the 12 construct facets that experts rated as important. The LOCES was significantly correlated with eating disturbances, general distress, functional impairment, and general self-control. Three subfactors were identified: behavioral, cognitive/dissociative, and positive/euphoric aspects of loss-of-control eating. A brief, seven-item version of the LOCES was developed and validated. DISCUSSION: A thorough process of development, content validation, and psychometric evaluation in multiple samples yielded the multifaceted LOCES and its brief form. These instruments may be useful in assessing loss-of-control eating in both clinical and nonclinical settings.

Research supports the efficacy of both cognitive dissonance (CD) and healthy weight (HW) eating disorders prevention, and indicates that CD can be delivered by peer-facilitators, which facilitates dissemination. This study investigated if peer-facilitators can deliver HW when it is modified for their use and extended follow-up of peer-facilitated CD as compared to previous trials. Based on pilot data, we modified HW (MHW) to facilitate peer delivery, elaborate benefits of the healthy-ideal, and place greater emphasis on consuming nutrient dense foods. Female sorority members (N=106) were randomized to either two 2-h sessions of CD or MHW. Participants completed assessment pre- and post-intervention, and at 8-week, 8-month, and 14-month follow-up. Consistent with hypotheses, CD decreased negative affect, thin-ideal internalization, and bulimic pathology to a greater degree post-intervention. Both CD and MHW reduced negative affect, internalization, body dissatisfaction, dietary restraint, and bulimic pathology at 14 months.
