Non-pharmacological care for patients with generalized osteoarthritis: design of a randomized clinical trial.

TL;DR: A randomized, single blind, clinical trial with a one year follow up to compare the costs and effectiveness of two non-pharmacological interventions with different modes of delivery for patients with generalized osteoarthritis.

Exclusion of patients with sequential primary total joint arthroplasties from arthroplasty outcome studies biases outcome estimates: a retrospective cohort study

TL;DR: The results indicate that exclusion of this large subsample of TJA recipients from TJA outcomes studies over-estimates surgical risks and may underestimate patient-reported benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of a surgical screening clinic for patients with knee osteoarthritis: a descriptive study.

TL;DR: Orthopedic surgical screening by trained physicians using standardized tools halved the number of surgical consultations and few conservative management options were tried before referral, indicating the need to enhance presurgical care for patients with knee OA.

A pH-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles-based drug delivery system with controlled release of andrographolide for OA treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a nano-sized pH-responsive drug delivery system (DDS) for OA treatment by using modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) with pHresponsive polyacrylic acid (PAA) for loading of AG to form AG@MSNs-PAA nanoplatform.

Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses

TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Assessing the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials : is blinding necessary?

TL;DR: An instrument to assess the quality of reports of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in pain research is described and its use to determine the effect of rater blinding on the assessments of quality is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations.

TL;DR: A system for grading the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations that can be applied across a wide range of interventions and contexts is developed, and a summary of the approach from the perspective of a guideline user is presented.
