ES – Enrolment of patients, outcome measures collection, revision of the manuscript.
The octopus fishery is fully exploited, and management measures need revision to maintain sustainability.
Identified priority measures for revision specifically include collecting current importation data on plants.
Little is known about the comparative performance of patient-reported outcome measures in revision hip arthroplasty.
We compared patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), revision risk, and implant costs over a range of hip replacements.
We wanted to compare the responsiveness of patient-reported outcome measures following revision hip arthroplasty in a well-defined patient group, and therefore included only patients with aseptic loosening who underwent first-time revision.
These findings should prompt more studies to examine the comparative responsiveness of other measures in revision THA patients, which might allow the discovery of the most sensitive HRQoL instruments for use in clinical trials for treatment comparisons.
In the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOA NJRR) (AOANJRR 2009), this latter measure of revision is termed the "cumulative per cent revision" (CPR).
The primary outcome measure was revision for infection following primary THR and only infections leading to revision of the prosthesis (removal or exchange of prosthetic parts) were included, since minor soft-tissue procedures were not reported to all national registries.
Plots were also prepared expressing ion levels as a percentage of the initial values measured at revision and interpolated to calculate the period until blood levels dropped to 50% of the levels at revision.
