Scand J Med Sci Sports 2024; 34:e14634. [PMID: 38682790 DOI: 10.1111/sms.14634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is the most common knee pain complaint among adolescents playing sports. Despite this, there remains controversy over the pathophysiology and whether specific anatomical characteristics are associated with OSD. PURPOSE This study aimed to systematically and comprehensively characterize adolescents with OSD using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to pain-free controls, including both tissue abnormalities that may be associated with OSD, as well as anatomical characteristics. A secondary objective was to identify potential imaging biomarkers associated with pain. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Adolescents with OSD and controls were recruited from 2020 to 2022. Following a clinical exam, demographics, pain, sports participation, and Tanner stage were collected. Knee MRI was conducted on the participants' most symptomatic knee (OSD) or the dominant leg (controls). RESULTS Sixty-seven adolescents (46 with OSD and 30 controls) were included. 80% of participants with OSD had at least one tissue alteration compared to 54% of controls. Compared to controls, OSD had 36.3 (95%CI 4.5 to 289.7) higher odds of bony oedema at the tibial tuberosity, and 32.7 (95%CI 4.1 to 260.6) and 5.3 (95%CI 0.6 to 46.2) higher odds of bony oedema at the tibial epiphysis and metaphysis respectively. Participants with OSD also had higher odds of fluid/oedema at the patellar tendon (12.3 95%CI 3.3 to 46.6), and superficial infrapatellar bursitis (7.2). Participants with OSD had a more proximal tendon attachment (mean tibial attachment portion difference, -0.05, 95% CI: -0.1 to 0.0, p = 0.02), tendon thickness (proximal mean difference, -0.09, 95% CI: -0.4 to 0.2, p = 0.04; distal mean difference, -0.6, 95% CI: -0.9 to -0.2, p = 0.01). Those with bony/tendon oedema had 1.8 points (95% CI: 0.3 to 3.2) higher pain on palpation than those without (t = -2.5, df = 26.6, p = 0.019), but there was no difference between these groups in a functional single leg pain provocation. CONCLUSION Adolescents with OSD present with tissue and structural abnormalities on MRI that differed from age-matched controls. The majority had findings in the patellar tendon and bone, which often co-occurred. However, a small proportion of OSD also presents without alterations. It appears these findings may be associated with clinical OSD-related pain on palpation of the tibial tuberosity. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our highlight the pathophysiology on imaging, which has implications for understanding the mechanism and treatment of OSD.

Eur J Pain 2024; 28:70-82. [PMID: 37485565 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2022] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sensitized pain mechanisms are often reported in musculoskeletal pain conditions, but population-based paediatric studies are lacking. We assessed whether adolescents with musculoskeletal pain history had evidence of increased responsiveness to experimental pressure stimuli. METHODS Data were from 1496 adolescents of the Generation XXI birth cohort. Pain history was collected using the Luebeck Pain Questionnaire (self-reported at 13, parent-reported at 7 and 10 years). Two case definitions for musculoskeletal pain were considered: (1) cross-sectional-musculoskeletal pain lasting more than 3 months at age 13 and (2) longitudinal-musculoskeletal pain at age 13 with musculoskeletal pain reports at ages 7 and/or 10. Lower limb cuff pressure algometry was used to assess pain detection and tolerance thresholds, conditioned pain modulation effects (CPM, changes in thresholds in the presence on painful conditioning) and temporal summation of pain effects (TSP, changes in pain intensity to 10 phasic painful cuff stimulations). RESULTS Adolescents with musculoskeletal pain at age 13 plus a history of pain in previous evaluations (longitudinal definition) had lower pain tolerance thresholds compared to the remaining sample (40.2 v. 49.0 kPa, p = 0.02), but showed no differences in pain detection threshold, CPM effect and TSP effect. Pain sensitivity, CPM effects and TSP effects were not significantly different when the current pain only case definition (cross-sectional) was used. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents with current musculoskeletal pain who had a history of pain since childhood had lower tolerance to cuff stimulation. This may suggest long-standing musculoskeletal pain since childhood may contribute to sensitisation, rather than the presence of current pain only. SIGNIFICANCE Repeated musculoskeletal pain up to age 13 years may contribute to higher pain sensitivity (particularly lowered pressure pain tolerance) in the general adolescent population. This does not seem to be the case when reported pain experiences are recent or when the outcomes are temporal pain summation or CPM. In this community-based paediatric sample, the vast majority showed no sign of altered pain processing, but a small fraction may reveal some pain sensitization at 13 years of age.

A register-based study. BMC PRIMARY CARE 2023; 24:271. [PMID: 38093260 PMCID: PMC10717731 DOI: 10.1186/s12875-023-02233-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Participating in research studies often involves interactions with healthcare professionals, potentially influencing the participant's future help-seeking behaviour. We investigated whether participating in the Childhood Health Activity and Motor Performance School Study - Denmark (CHAMPS) (2008-2014), which involved telephone consultations and clinical assessments by healthcare professionals with participants experiencing musculoskeletal complaints, changed frequency of contacts with primary public healthcare services among participants over the subsequent five-years-period, compared to non-participating children. METHODS Using Danish health register data from 1998 to 2020, we compared CHAMPS participant's and two control group's contacts with private physiotherapists, chiropractors (outside hospitals), and general practitioners: a random 10% sample of children from Denmark (National Controls), and a secondary local control group (Local Controls) during three periods: Before (1998-31.10.2008), during (01.11.2008-20.06.2014), and after (21.06.2014-31.12.2019) the CHAMPS-study. Separate multivariable Poisson regression models were used to assess the differences between groups for the outcome variables: contacts with physiotherapists, chiropractors, and general practitioners, and overall contacts. RESULTS Compared to National Controls, the CHAMPS-Group had fewer physiotherapy contacts before the study with an estimated mean of 0.01 vs 0.02 per person-year, and after (0.13 vs 0.18 per person-year), corresponding to a crude incidence rate ratio (IRR) of 0.69 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.58-0.83) after the study period. However, they had more chiropractor contacts before (0.05 vs 0.03), and after (0.21 vs 0.09) the study, with a crude IRR of 2.29 (95% CI: 1.93-2.71) after the study period. General practice contacts were equal for the CHAMPS-group compared to national controls (5.84 vs 5.84) before the study but reduced during and after (3.21 vs 3.71), with a crude IRR of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83-0.90) after the study. Comparable patterns of contacts changes from before to after the study were observed between the CHAMPS-group and the Local Controls except for physiotherapy which was equal between the two groups after the study. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that research studies involving systematic engagement with participants experiencing musculoskeletal complaints can influence subsequent healthcare-seeking behaviour. Future research should address the influence of health literacy, health education, and healthcare provider recommendations on healthcare decisions during such research studies.

Abstract
The mainstay in the treatment of Osgood-Schlatter Disease (OSD) is guidance on activity modification alongside exercises. The purpose of this study was to create an informative leaflet for patients with OSD, based on evidence and stakeholders perspectives. A synthesis of the literature, including national reference work, clinical research, and systematic reviews informed the initial leaflet. Twelve children with OSD and four clinical experts provided feedback through semi-structured interviews. After incorporating stakeholder input, the leaflet 'Osgood-Schlatter-Information and guidance' was developed. This provides a resource to assist the provision of information and translation of the current evidence.

Exploring the pain and disability continuum in adolescents with non-traumatic anterior knee pain: a mediation analysis using individual participant data of prospective studies. Br J Sports Med 2023; 57:1388-1394. [PMID: 37699655 DOI: 10.1136/bjsports-2023-107177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To use individual patient data (IPD) to investigate if the effect of pain on sports-related disability is mediated through physical (lower extremity isometric strength) or psychological (depression/anxiety and knee confidence) factors in adolescents with non-traumatic anterior knee pain. METHODS This study included four datasets from a previously harmonised IPD dataset. Prior to analysis, the protocol and analysis approach were predefined and published on Open Science Framework. Potential mediators were pre-sepcified as isometric knee and hip strengths, self-reported anxiety/depression and confidence in the knee, allmeasured at 12 weeks after baseline evaluation. Mediation analyses were undertaken using the CMAVerse package in RStudio using the regression-based approach to decompose the total effect of the exposure (pain at baseline evaluation) on the outcome (sports-related disability at 6 months) into the 'indirect effect' (the portion of the total effect acting through the mediators) and the 'direct effect'. RESULTS Two-hundred and seventy-nine adolescents with non-traumatic knee pain were included in the analysis. Median age was 13 (range 10-19), and 72% were women. Baseline pain was associated with sports-related disability at 6 months. There was no evidence of the association being mediated by any of the proposed mediators (total natural indirect effect for strength 0.01 (-1.14 to 1.80) and psychological factors 0.00 (-0.66 to 2.02)). CONCLUSION We found an effect of pain on sports-related disability at 6 months which appears to be independent of lower extremity muscle strength, or depression/anxiety and knee confidence in adolescents with non-traumatic anterior knee pain.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The multiorgan impact of moderate to severe coronavirus infections in the post-acute phase is still poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities after hospitalisation with COVID-19, evaluate their determinants, and explore associations with patient-related outcome measures. METHODS In a prospective, UK-wide, multicentre MRI follow-up study (C-MORE), adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital following COVID-19 who were included in Tier 2 of the Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) and contemporary controls with no evidence of previous COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibody negative) underwent multiorgan MRI (lungs, heart, brain, liver, and kidneys) with quantitative and qualitative assessment of images and clinical adjudication when relevant. Individuals with end-stage renal failure or contraindications to MRI were excluded. Participants also underwent detailed recording of symptoms, and physiological and biochemical tests. The primary outcome was the excess burden of multiorgan abnormalities (two or more organs) relative to controls, with further adjustments for potential confounders. The C-MORE study is ongoing and is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04510025. FINDINGS Of 2710 participants in Tier 2 of PHOSP-COVID, 531 were recruited across 13 UK-wide C-MORE sites. After exclusions, 259 C-MORE patients (mean age 57 years [SD 12]; 158 [61%] male and 101 [39%] female) who were discharged from hospital with PCR-confirmed or clinically diagnosed COVID-19 between March 1, 2020, and Nov 1, 2021, and 52 non-COVID-19 controls from the community (mean age 49 years [SD 14]; 30 [58%] male and 22 [42%] female) were included in the analysis. Patients were assessed at a median of 5·0 months (IQR 4·2-6·3) after hospital discharge. Compared with non-COVID-19 controls, patients were older, living with more obesity, and had more comorbidities. Multiorgan abnormalities on MRI were more frequent in patients than in controls (157 [61%] of 259 vs 14 [27%] of 52; p<0·0001) and independently associated with COVID-19 status (odds ratio [OR] 2·9 [95% CI 1·5-5·8]; padjusted=0·0023) after adjusting for relevant confounders. Compared with controls, patients were more likely to have MRI evidence of lung abnormalities (p=0·0001; parenchymal abnormalities), brain abnormalities (p<0·0001; more white matter hyperintensities and regional brain volume reduction), and kidney abnormalities (p=0·014; lower medullary T1 and loss of corticomedullary differentiation), whereas cardiac and liver MRI abnormalities were similar between patients and controls. Patients with multiorgan abnormalities were older (difference in mean age 7 years [95% CI 4-10]; mean age of 59·8 years [SD 11·7] with multiorgan abnormalities vs mean age of 52·8 years [11·9] without multiorgan abnormalities; p<0·0001), more likely to have three or more comorbidities (OR 2·47 [1·32-4·82]; padjusted=0·0059), and more likely to have a more severe acute infection (acute CRP >5mg/L, OR 3·55 [1·23-11·88]; padjusted=0·025) than those without multiorgan abnormalities. Presence of lung MRI abnormalities was associated with a two-fold higher risk of chest tightness, and multiorgan MRI abnormalities were associated with severe and very severe persistent physical and mental health impairment (PHOSP-COVID symptom clusters) after hospitalisation. INTERPRETATION After hospitalisation for COVID-19, people are at risk of multiorgan abnormalities in the medium term. Our findings emphasise the need for proactive multidisciplinary care pathways, with the potential for imaging to guide surveillance frequency and therapeutic stratification.

J Sci Med Sport 2023:S1440-2440(23)00085-3. [PMID: 37391284 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsams.2023.05.005] [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: 07/28/2022] [Revised: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/16/2023] [Indexed: 07/02/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osgood-Schlatter disease is an overuse musculoskeletal pain condition. The pain mechanism is considered nociceptive, but no studies have investigated nociplastic manifestations. This study investigated pain sensitivity and inhibition evaluated through exercise-induced hypoalgesia in adolescents with and without Osgood-Schlatter. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Adolescents underwent a baseline assessment comprising clinical history, demographics, sports participation, and pain severity rated (0-10) during a 45-second anterior knee pain provocation test, consisting of an isometric single leg squat. Pressure pain thresholds were assessed bilaterally at the quadriceps, tibialis anterior muscle, and the patella tendon before and after a three-minute wall squat. RESULTS Forty-nine adolescents (27 Osgood-Schlatter, 22 controls) were included. There were no differences in the exercise-induced hypoalgesia effect between Osgood-Schlatter and controls. Overall, an exercise-induced hypoalgesia effect was detected at the tendon only in both groups with a 48 kPa (95 % confidence interval 14 to 82) increase in pressure pain thresholds from before to after exercise. Controls had higher pressure pain thresholds at the patellar tendon (mean difference 184 kPa 95 % confidence interval 55 to 313), tibialis anterior (mean difference 139 kPa 95 % confidence interval 24 to 254), and rectus femoris (mean difference 149 kPa 95 % confidence interval 33 to 265). Higher anterior knee pain provocation severity was associated with lower exercise-induced hypoalgesia at the tendon (Pearson correlation = 0.48; p = 0.011) in participants with Osgood-Schlatter. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents with Osgood-Schlatter display increased pain sensitivity locally, proximally, and distally but similar endogenous pain modulation compared to healthy controls. Greater Osgood-Schlatter severity appears to be associated with less efficient pain inhibition during the exercise-induced hypoalgesia paradigm.

Development of a tool to support general practitioners to help adolescents with knee pain: an analysis using the Theoretical Domains Framework. Prim Health Care Res Dev 2023; 24:e24. [PMID: 37005362 PMCID: PMC10156466 DOI: 10.1017/s1463423623000130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM Using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and COM-B model, this study aimed to determine the facilitators to a support tool for adolescent non-traumatic knee pain in general practice. BACKGROUND Many children and adolescents with non-traumatic knee pain consult their general practice. Currently, there are no tools to support general practitioners in the diagnosis and management of this group. There is a need to identify behavioural targets that would facilitate further development and implementation of such a tool. METHODS This study was designed as a qualitative study using focus group interviews with 12 medical doctors working in general practice. The semi-structured focus group interviews conducted online and followed an interview guide based on the TDF and COM-B model. Data were analysed via thematic text analysis. FINDINGS One of the biggest challenges from the general practitioner's perspective was how to manage and guide adolescents with non-traumatic knee pain. The doctors had doubts in their capability to diagnose knee pain and saw opportunity to help structure the consultation. The doctors felt motivated to use a tool but considered access a potential barrier. Increasing opportunity and motivation by creating access in the community among general practitioners was considered important. We identified several barriers and facilitators for a support tool for the management of adolescent non-traumatic knee pain in general practice. To align with user needs, future tools should support diagnostic workup, structure the consultation and be easily available among doctors working in general practice.

Abstract
We aimed to determine whether early pregnancy well-being was associated with the stage of behaviour change during an antenatal lifestyle intervention using a secondary analysis of data from the Pregnancy Exercise and Nutrition Research Study (PEARS). Pregnant women (n = 277) with well-being data in early pregnancy were included. Maternal well-being was measured using the World Health Organisation Five-Item Well-Being Index. The intervention consisted of a mobile health (mHealth) phone application, supported by antenatal education and exercise, to prevent gestational diabetes in a population with overweight. Stage of behaviour change was measured in late pregnancy using a five-stage classification. Ordinal logistic regression was used to examine if well-being, the study group, or their interaction, were related to behaviour change. Maternal well-being (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01, 1.04, p < 0.01) and the study group (OR 2.25, 95% CI 1.44, 3.51, p < 0.01) both significantly influenced the positive stage of behaviour change. The probability of being at stage 5 increased from 43 to 92% as well-being increased from 0 to 100% and was higher in the intervention (53%) compared to the control (34%) group (p ≤ 0.01 (8.65, 29.27). This study demonstrates the potential importance of well-being in enabling women to engage with a healthy lifestyle, and the role that mHealth technology has in facilitating beneficial behaviour change.

Abstract
Objective To adapt and partly validate a Danish online version of the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) Oxford Physical Activity Questionnaire (“OPAQ”) and evaluate mobile phones and tablets as data capturing tool to identify potential problems and deficiencies in the PROM prior to implementation in the full study. Methods The OPAQ was translated into Danish by a formalised forward-backward translation procedure. Face validity was examined by interviewing 12 school students aged 10–15, recruited from two Danish public schools. After modifications, the online version of the Danish OPAQ was pilot tested in a convenience sample of seven school students for 1 week. Simultaneous objective accelerometer data were captured during the registration period. Results No major challenges were identified when translating OPAQ. Based on the interviews, the Danish version of OPAQ was perceived to be easy to understand in general, and the questions were relevant for tracking activities during the week. Five of the 12 participants had difficulties with understanding the introductory question: “what is your cultural background” in the original OPAQ. The interviews revealed that the participants recalling 7 days forgot to record some of the physical activity they had done during the week, indicating issues with the weekly recall method. After transforming to the online version, this was reported to be easy and quick to fill in (taking 1–3 min per day), and participants reported the daily design was helpful to remember activities. There was good correspondence between the online version and objective actigraphs with a tendency to underreport. Six participants reported 10–60 min less moderate to vigorous physical activity compared to the actigraphs, while one participant reported 3 min more. Conclusion Participants found the online OPAQ quick and easy to complete during a 1-week period. Completing daily rather than weekly may help limit issues with recall. Overall, there was good agreement between the objective actigraphs and the OPAQ, though the OPAQ tended to slightly underreport moderate to vigorous physical activity. The Danish online version of OPAQ may be useful for capturing school students’ physical activity when objective measures are not feasible. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s40814-022-01108-x.

Abstract
Background Eight percent of all child and adolescent general practice consultations are due to musculoskeletal conditions, with pain as the most frequent symptom. Despite the commonality of musculoskeletal pain, limited knowledge exists about care-seeking children and adolescents with musculoskeletal pain. The purpose of this study was to describe characteristics of children and adolescents consulting their general practitioner with musculoskeletal pain. Methods This is a cross-sectional study based on baseline data from the child and adolescent musculoskeletal pain cohort study (ChiBPS), carried out in 17 Danish general practice clinics. Patients aged 8–19 years who had musculoskeletal pain when consulting their general practitioner were recruited. Participants completed a questionnaire on demographics, physical activity, pain impact, psychosocial factors, and expectations of their general practitioner. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize data. Normally distributed continuous data were described using mean and standard deviation while non-normally data were described using median and interquartile range (IQR). Results We included 100 participants (54% female, median age 13 [IQR: 12–16.5 years]). Frequent pain sites limiting activity were knee (56%), back (20%), ankle (19%), and neck (13%). Most participants (63%) consulted their general practitioner due to inability to use their body as usual, due to pain. Median pain duration at consultation was 5 months [IQR: 3 weeks-1 year]. More than a third were often/sometimes nervous (34%), worried or anxious (33%), and took pain medication (33%). Pain impeded ability to participate in sport activities at school (79%) and disturbed spare time activities (88%). Pain also made it difficult to concentrate for 58%, and to fall asleep for 38%. Only 38% expected a pain free long-term future. Conclusion This study demonstrates the bio-psycho-social impact of musculoskeletal pain in care-seeking children and adolescents. Demographics, pain characteristics, psychosocial characteristics, and physical characteristics should be included in addressing children and adolescents with musculoskeletal pain. Trial registration The ChiBPS study was pre-registered before participant recruitment (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03678922) date: 09.20.18. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s12875-022-01628-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The main objective was to investigate 5-year outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis, randomised to one of two non-surgical treatments. SETTING Two outpatient clinics. PARTICIPANTS At baseline, 100 patients with radiographic and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis not found eligible for knee replacement (KR) were included. Main exclusion criteria were average score above 75 of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales pain, symptoms, function of daily living and quality of life; KOOS4 and average knee pain the previous week greater than 60 mm on a 100 mm visual analogue scale. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomised to supervised non-surgical treatment consisting of patient education, supervised exercise, weight loss, insoles, and pain medication (the MEDIC treatment) or written advice. The 12-week MEDIC treatment included patient education, neuromuscular exercise, insoles and a dietary weight loss programme and/or pain medication if needed and written advice consisted of two leaflets. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Primary outcome was 5-year mean change for KOOS4. Secondary outcomes included KOOS subscales, self-reported health, usage of pain medication and self-reported physical activity. RESULTS Thirty-nine (78%) and 36 (72%) from the MEDIC and written advice groups responded at 5 years. There were no between-group differences in KOOS4 (difference 5.3 (95% CI -1.5 to 12.1) or any secondary outcomes. However, the 95% CI included the minimal clinically important difference for the main outcome.Seventy-six percent of the MEDIC group and 66% of the written advice group experienced clinically important improvements in KOOS4.Fifteen patients (30%) from the MEDIC group and 17 (34%) from the written advice group received KR in the index knee. Undergoing KR did not result in a statistically significant greater improvement in KOOS4 (difference 6.1 (95% CI -1.1 to 13.4). CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant differences between supervised non-surgical treatment and written advice were demonstrated at 5 years. Most patients experienced clinically important improvements, irrespective of initial treatment strategy or KR. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01535001; ClinicalTrials.gov.

Clinical characteristics with inflammation profiling of long COVID and association with 1-year recovery following hospitalisation in the UK: a prospective observational study. THE LANCET. RESPIRATORY MEDICINE 2022; 10:761-775. [PMID: 35472304 PMCID: PMC9034855 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-2600(22)00127-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 156] [Impact Index Per Article: 78.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 03/23/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND No effective pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions exist for patients with long COVID. We aimed to describe recovery 1 year after hospital discharge for COVID-19, identify factors associated with patient-perceived recovery, and identify potential therapeutic targets by describing the underlying inflammatory profiles of the previously described recovery clusters at 5 months after hospital discharge. METHODS The Post-hospitalisation COVID-19 study (PHOSP-COVID) is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study recruiting adults (aged ≥18 years) discharged from hospital with COVID-19 across the UK. Recovery was assessed using patient-reported outcome measures, physical performance, and organ function at 5 months and 1 year after hospital discharge, and stratified by both patient-perceived recovery and recovery cluster. Hierarchical logistic regression modelling was performed for patient-perceived recovery at 1 year. Cluster analysis was done using the clustering large applications k-medoids approach using clinical outcomes at 5 months. Inflammatory protein profiling was analysed from plasma at the 5-month visit. This study is registered on the ISRCTN Registry, ISRCTN10980107, and recruitment is ongoing. FINDINGS 2320 participants discharged from hospital between March 7, 2020, and April 18, 2021, were assessed at 5 months after discharge and 807 (32·7%) participants completed both the 5-month and 1-year visits. 279 (35·6%) of these 807 patients were women and 505 (64·4%) were men, with a mean age of 58·7 (SD 12·5) years, and 224 (27·8%) had received invasive mechanical ventilation (WHO class 7-9). The proportion of patients reporting full recovery was unchanged between 5 months (501 [25·5%] of 1965) and 1 year (232 [28·9%] of 804). Factors associated with being less likely to report full recovery at 1 year were female sex (odds ratio 0·68 [95% CI 0·46-0·99]), obesity (0·50 [0·34-0·74]) and invasive mechanical ventilation (0·42 [0·23-0·76]). Cluster analysis (n=1636) corroborated the previously reported four clusters: very severe, severe, moderate with cognitive impairment, and mild, relating to the severity of physical health, mental health, and cognitive impairment at 5 months. We found increased inflammatory mediators of tissue damage and repair in both the very severe and the moderate with cognitive impairment clusters compared with the mild cluster, including IL-6 concentration, which was increased in both comparisons (n=626 participants). We found a substantial deficit in median EQ-5D-5L utility index from before COVID-19 (retrospective assessment; 0·88 [IQR 0·74-1·00]), at 5 months (0·74 [0·64-0·88]) to 1 year (0·75 [0·62-0·88]), with minimal improvements across all outcome measures at 1 year after discharge in the whole cohort and within each of the four clusters. INTERPRETATION The sequelae of a hospital admission with COVID-19 were substantial 1 year after discharge across a range of health domains, with the minority in our cohort feeling fully recovered. Patient-perceived health-related quality of life was reduced at 1 year compared with before hospital admission. Systematic inflammation and obesity are potential treatable traits that warrant further investigation in clinical trials.

[PMID: 34775189 DOI: 10.1016/j.ptsp.2021.11.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To test 1) if the 45-second Anterior Knee Pain Provocation Test (AKPP-test) could differentiate between adolescents with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and pain-free controls and; 2) whether improvements in the AKPP-test over 12 weeks were associated with improvements in self-reported knee function and pain. DESIGN Prospective cohort. PATIENTS 151 with PFP and 50 pain-free controls (age 10-14 years). OUTCOMES The AKPP-test was performed at baseline, 4- and 12-week follow-up. Pain and function were collected using Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). RESULTS At baseline, the AKPP-test provoked pain to a median of 5 points (IQR: 3-7) on the 0-10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale in adolescents with PFP, compared to 0 (IQR 0-0) in controls. Higher pain during the AKPP-test was associated with worse KOOS-Sport/Rec (r = -0.33, P < 0.001), worse KOOS-Pain (r = -0.47, P < 0.001), and pain intensity (worst pain last 24 hours) (r = -0.39, P < 0.001) at baseline. Improvements in the AKPP-test over 12 weeks were associated with improvements in KOOS Pain (r = 0.48, P < 0.001) and KOOS Sport/Rec (r = 0.40, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Improvements in the AKPP-test were associated with improvements in self-report knee pain and limitations in sports, suggesting the AKPP-test may be a clinically responsive test of knee pain and sporting function in adolescents with PFP.

Abstract
Poor reporting of medical and healthcare systematic reviews is a problem from which the sports and exercise medicine, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and sports science fields are not immune. Transparent, accurate and comprehensive systematic review reporting helps researchers replicate methods, readers understand what was done and why, and clinicians and policy-makers implement results in practice. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement and its accompanying Explanation and Elaboration document provide general reporting examples for systematic reviews of healthcare interventions. However, implementation guidance for sport and exercise medicine, musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and sports science does not exist. The Prisma in Exercise, Rehabilitation, Sport medicine and SporTs science (PERSiST) guidance attempts to address this problem. Nineteen content experts collaborated with three methods experts to identify examples of exemplary reporting in systematic reviews in sport and exercise medicine (including physical activity), musculoskeletal rehabilitation (including physiotherapy), and sports science, for each of the PRISMA 2020 Statement items. PERSiST aims to help: (1) systematic reviewers improve the transparency and reporting of systematic reviews and (2) journal editors and peer reviewers make informed decisions about systematic review reporting quality.

Abstract
Objective: We aimed to use SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests to assess the asymptomatic seroprevalence of individuals in high-risk hospital cohorts who's previous COVID-19 exposure is unknown; staff, and patients requiring haemodialysis or chemotherapy after the first wave. Methods: In a single Center, study participants had five SARS-CoV-2 antibody tests done simultaneously; one rapid diagnostic test (RDT) (Superbio Colloidal Gold IgM/IgG), and four laboratory tests (Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG [RE], Abbott Architect i2000SR IgG [AAr], Abbott Alinity IgG [AAl], and Abbott Architect IgM CMIA). To determine seroprevalence, only positive test results on laboratory assay were considered true positives. Results: There were 157 participants, of whom 103 (65.6%) were female with a median age of 50 years (range 19–90). The IgG component of the RDT showed a high number of false positives (n = 18), was inferior to the laboratory assays (p < 0.001 RDT vs. AAl/AAr, p < 0.001 RDT vs. RE), and had reduced specificity (85.5% vs. AAl/AAr, 87.2% vs. RE). Sero-concordance was 97.5% between IgG laboratory assays (RE vs. AAl/AAr). Specificity of the IgM component of the RDT compared to Abbott IgM CMIA was 95.4%. Ten participants had positivity in at least one laboratory assay, seven (9.9%) of which were seen in HCWs. Two (4.1%) hematology/oncology (H/O) patients and a single (2.7%) haemodialysis (HD) were asymptomatically seropositive. Asymptomatic seroprevalence of HCWs compared to patients was not significant (p = 0.105). Conclusion: HCWs (9.9%) had higher, although non-significant asymptomatic seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies compared to high-risk patients (H/O 4.1%, HD 2.7%). An IgM/IgG rapid diagnostic test was inferior to laboratory assays. Sero-concordance of 97.5% was found between IgG laboratory assays, RE vs. AAl/AAr.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is common in hospitalized patients and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The Dublin Acute Biomarker Group Evaluation (DAMAGE) Study is a prospective cohort study of critically ill patients (n = 717). We hypothesised that novel urinary biomarkers would predict progression of AKI and associated outcomes. METHODS The primary (diagnostic) analysis assessed the ability of biomarkers levels at the time of early Stage 1 or2 AKI to predict progression to higher AKI Stage, RRT or Death within 7 days of ICU admission. In the secondary (prognostic) analysis, we investigated the association between biomarker levels and RRT or Death within 30 days. RESULTS In total, 186 patients had an AKI within 7 days of admission. In the primary (diagnostic) analysis, eight of the 14 biomarkers were independently associated with progression. The best predictors were Cystatin C (aOR 5.2; 95% CI, 1.3-23.6), IL-18 (aOR 5.1; 95% CI, 1.8-15.7), Albumin (aOR 4.9; 95% CI, 1.5-18.3) and NGAL (aOR 4.6; 95% CI, 1.4-17.9). ROC and Net Reclassification Index analyses similarly demonstrated improved prediction by these biomarkers. In the secondary (prognostic) analysis of Stage 1-3 AKI cases, IL-18, NGAL, Albumin, and MCP-1 were also independently associated with RRT or Death within 30 days. CONCLUSIONS Among 14 novel urinary biomarkers assessed, Cystatin C, IL-18, Albumin and NGAL were the best predictors of Stage 1-2 AKI progression. These biomarkers, after further validation, may have utility to inform diagnostic and prognostic assessment and guide management of AKI in critically ill patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD), an apophyseal injury of the tibial tuberosity, affects up to 1 in 10 adolescents. This condition has previously been assumed to be innocuous and to self-resolve with limited intervention. PURPOSE To investigate the 24-month prognosis of OSD and examine if ultrasound (US) classification is associated with outcomes. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS This study included a preregistered prospective cohort of 51 adolescents (aged 10-14 years) diagnosed with OSD who were evaluated for 24 months. The primary outcome at 24-month follow-up was whether participants continued to experience OSD-related knee pain. Baseline US scans were collected and characterized by OSD type (De Flaviis classification) as well as maturation of the tibial tuberosity. Secondary outcomes included sports participation, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) Sport/Recreation subscale, and health-related quality of life (European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-Youth [EQ-5D-Y]). All participants were invited for re-examination by US at follow-up. RESULTS A total of 51 patients preregistered for the study, with 90% (n = 46) available at follow-up. Of these 46 participants, 37% (n = 17) still reported knee pain due to OSD. In this subgroup, the median duration since symptom onset was 42 months (interquartile range, 38-51 months). More than 1 in 5 participants reported stopping sport due to knee pain, and those who continued to experience knee pain reported significantly worse KOOS Sport/Recreation scores at follow-up compared with patients with no knee pain (mean 74 [95% CI, 63-84] vs 91 [95% CI, 85-97]). Participants with continued OSD-related pain also had lower health-related quality of life (mean difference in EQ-5D-Y, 0.11 [95% CI, 0.06-0.13]). Higher De Flaviis classification at baseline was significantly associated with an increased risk of knee pain at 2 years. Diagnostic US at follow-up demonstrated primarily tendon changes (thickening, positive Doppler signal), as well as an ununited ossicle in 32% of participants who underwent US scanning at follow-up. CONCLUSION Over one-third of the study participants had knee pain at 2-year follow-up, which was associated with lower sports related function and health related quality of life. This questions the assumption that all patients with OSD experience quick recovery. Participants without any changes on imaging at baseline were less likely to report pain at follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the commonality of adolescent knee pain, there are no tools to support medical doctors to correctly diagnose knee pain. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a support tool for diagnosing the most common types of non-traumatic adolescent knee pain. METHOD A systematic search on Medline identified the literature on clinical tests and diagnoses of adolescent knee pain. The search was supplemented by textbooks and transformed into a diagnostic flowchart based on onset, symptoms, and pain localisation. This tool was revised based on feedback from general practitioners and experts in sports medicine. The tool was evaluated on two separate days with blinded assessors. Overall, 27 participants (aged 10-17 years) with non-traumatic knee pain were included. All participants were diagnosed by medical doctors or medical students, without and with the use of the tool. Diagnoses were compared to a gold standard (expert clinician). An interview to inform optimisations of the tool was performed with the assessors. Percentage agreement with the gold standard, and Kappa statistic for interrater reliability were calculated. RESULTS The final tool improved diagnostic agreement with the gold standard from 22.7% (95% CI 10.3-35.1) to 77.3% (95% CI 64.9-89.7). Inter-rater reliability increased from poor agreement k = - 0.04 (95% CI, - 0.12-0.04) to moderate agreement k = 0.56 (95% CI, 0.40-0.72). CONCLUSION This simple diagnostic tool is quick to use and may assist doctors in diagnosing non-traumatic knee pain in adolescents.

Abstract
Patellofemoral pain is a common and often debilitating musculoskeletal condition. Clinical translation and evidence synthesis of patellofemoral pain research are compromised by heterogenous and often inadequately reported study details. This consensus statement and associated checklist provides standards for REPORTing of quantitative PatelloFemoral Pain (REPORT-PFP) research to enhance clinical translation and evidence synthesis, and support clinician engagement with research and data collection. A three-stage Delphi process was initiated at the 2015 International Patellofemoral Research Network (iPFRN) retreat. An initial e-Delphi activity (n=24) generated topics and items, which were refined at the 2017 iPFRN retreat, and voted on prior to and following the 2019 iPFRN retreat (n=51 current and past retreat participants). Voting criteria included 'strongly recommended' (essential), 'recommended' (encouraged) and uncertain/unsure. An item was included in the checklist if ≥70% respondents voted 'recommended'. Items receiving ≥70% votes for 'strongly recommended' were labelled as such. The final REPORT-PFP checklist includes 31 items (11 strongly recommended, 20 recommended), covering (i) demographics (n=2,4); (ii) baseline symptoms and previous treatments (n=3,7); (iii) outcome measures (2,4); (iv) outcomes measure description (n=1,2); (v) clinical trial methodology (0,3) and (vi) reporting study results (n=3,0). The REPORT-PFP checklist is ready to be used by researchers and clinicians. Strong stakeholder engagement from clinical academics during development means consistent application by the international patellofemoral pain research community is likely. Checklist adherence will improve research accessibility for clinicians and enhance future evidence synthesis.

Abstract
Background:In the UK, 10% of men and 18% of women over the age of 60 suffer from symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA), and rising. OA knee pain can worsen without significant radiographic changes and pain remains a major problem for up to 20% of patients after total knee joint replacement. Chronic knee OA pain is augmented by central pain mechanisms, including central sensitisation. Measures of the level of central involvement in pain could inform clinical decision making. Self-report characteristics of depression, anxiety, cognitive difficulties, catastrophizing, sleep disturbance, fatigue, and widespread pain distribution together contribute to a Central Mechanisms Trait which is associated with central sensitisation and OA knee painObjectives:Using self-report questionnaire data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative Cohort Study (OAI) we aimed to evaluate the prognostic performance of baseline CMT for pain at 24-months.Methods:OAI participants with knee OA or at risk of knee OA with pain in the same knee at both index time point (48-months) and one year prior to that date were included (n=1984). Knee pain was measured using the Western Ontario and McMasters Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain sub-scale, by reference to the index knee (the knee with the highest WOMAC pain sub-scale score at baseline). Questionnaire items were selected to assess the 7 available characteristics identified by Akin-Akinyosoye et al.[1], from which a single CMT factor was calculated by confirmatory factor analysis. Anxiety, fatigue and cognitive difficulties were assessed by single items, depression and sleep disturbance represented by multiple items, and catastrophising by using the Coping Strategies Questionnaire – Catastrophising sub-scale. Pain distribution was defined as a sum of other painful joints at or below the hip. A CMT factor was derived from the 7 characteristics using confirmatory factor analysis. The association between the CMT factor score and 24-month pain (adjusted for baseline pain, radiographic OA (Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) scale) and demographic confounders) was investigated using generalised linear regression with a negative binomial link function.Results:At baseline, participants had a mean (SD) age 65(9) years, a BMI 29.6(5.1) kg/m2, 60% were female, 19.8% were African American, KL score was 1.92(1.35) indicating that the majority of the cohort had radiographic OA. Model diagnostics informed the CMT model, with the final model having an RMSEA of 0.073 (90%CI 0.070-0.076). Data were consistent with a single factor model for CMT. In the multivariable model, higher baseline CMT scores were significantly associated with 24-month WOMAC pain scores, with or without adjustment for baseline pain and other covariates, including KL score (multivariable model; std beta=0.173 (SE=0.027), p=0.004). Association of baseline CMT was of similar strength, and over and above association of KL score with 24-month pain (std beta=0.164 (SE=0.038), p=<0.001).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Multi-site pain has not been investigated among adolescents suffering from knee pain. This study aimed to examine the trajectory of pain in adolescents with knee-pain, to determine if multi-site pain in adolescents together with other established prognostic factors (frequency of pain, sex, sports participation, Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)) was associated with five-year prognosis of knee-pain and function. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 504 adolescents with knee pain and 252 controls. At five-year follow-up, participants responded to an questionnaire which documented prescence and severity of knee pain and co-occurring pain. RESULTS At follow-up, 358 (71.0%) of those with knee-pain at baseline, and 182 (72.2%) controls responded. Female sex, low HRQoL, daily pain, and multi-site pain were associated with an increased odds of knee pain after 5 years (odds ratio: 1.41-3.37). Baseline multi-site pain was not associated with problems running at follow-up, whereas higher sports participation at baseline was associated with less problems running at follow-up (odd ratio 0.49). Among those with knee-pain at inclusion, the number of pain sites increased from a median of 2 (IQR 1-3) to 4 (IQR 2-6) at follow-up (P<0.05). Those with multi-site pain at follow-up score significantly worse in self-reported knee function, compared to those with one pain site only. CONCLUSION This study identified a set of factors that appeared to be associated with an increased risk of knee pain at five years follow up. Research is needed to understand and help direct treatment of adolescents with multi-site pain.
