“…Before and after delivery, the maternal psychological state was evaluated by Self-rating Depression/Anxiety Scale (SDS/SAS) [ 17 , 18 ]. The standard cut-off is 50 points, with 50–59, 60–69, and > 69 being mild, moderate, and severe anxiety, respectively.…”

Objective. The study estimated the impacts of water sac of different capacities combined with oxytocin (OXT) on pregnant women with high-risk term pregnancies. Methods. Women with high-risk term pregnancies who received OXT were enrolled to perform labor induction using 30 mL (group A), 80 mL (group B), and 150 mL (group C), followed by the comparisons regarding to the success rate of labor induction, cesarean section rate, duration of induced labor to labor, duration of the first stage of labor, postpartum blood loss, the incidence of adverse reactions, and the assessment of cervical ripening using Bishop Score. Besides, neonatal weight, Apgar score, as well as psychological status, and satisfaction of patients were compared among these groups. Results. As compared with group A, the success rate of induced labor was higher in groups B and C with lower cesarean section rate and shorter duration of induced labor to labor, but the duration of the first stage of labor in group B was the shortest among the three groups. The amount of postpartum hemorrhage decreased stepwise from groups A to B to C. In addition, groups A and B showed a reduced incidence of adverse reactions than group C, but the highest level of cervical ripening and highest patient satisfaction was revealed in group C and group B, respectively. Furthermore, the highest patient satisfaction was found in group B. Conclusion. The usage of an 80 mL water sac combined with OXT in high-risk term pregnancy has ideal induction effects, which can guarantee maternal cervical maturity and shorten the time of the first stage of labor.

“…The MDADI questionnaire has been validated for assessing swallowing in head and neck cancer patients before and after treatment, and has been used for evaluating swallowing following laryngectomy 25 . Other validated post‐laryngectomy swallowing assessment questionnaires also exist, such as the Swallowing Outcome After Laryngectomy (SOAL) and the Simplified Dysphagia Score (SDS) questionnaires 26,27 . These questionnaires could have been used alternatively, but no information was available on their MCID value to compare directly their results' statistical and clinical significance.…”

Swallowing outcomes following division of pseudo‐epiglottis resulting from vertical pharyngeal closure in laryngectomy

et al. 2023

Background: Vertical closure of the pharynx after laryngectomy can result in an outpouch of the anterior wall of the neopharynx below the tongue base, called a pseudo-diverticulum. The prolapsed mucosa that separates the rest of the neopharynx from the pseudo-diverticulum is termed a pseudo-epiglottis.Methods: Prospective study of patients with pseudo-epiglottis. M. D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) scores were used to assess swallowing outcomes pre-and post-pseudo-epiglottis division, including minimally clinically important difference (MCID) assessment.Results: Of 16 patients with a pseudo-epiglottis, 12 had dysphagia (75%). Symptomatic patients had significantly worse global MDADI and subscale scores. After division, the mean composite MDADI increased from 48.3 to 64.7 (p = 0.035), including a high MCID (16.4) with a similar improvement in the global question rating findings (31.1 vs. 60, p = 0.021). The MCID was significant for all MDADI subscales. Conclusions: Pseudo-epiglottis formation is associated with significantly worse global and subscale MDADI scores. A clinically-and statisticallysignificant improvement in the MDADI scores was found following surgical division.
