“…The study used the following research instruments (translated into Polish): PROMIS® Pain Intensity [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] (Short Form 3a); PROMIS® upper extremity [17,27], and the widely used DASH [16,28]. The PROMIS® Pain Intensity (Short Form 3a v1) instrument was developed to assess the intensity of perceived pain.…”

Introduction and objective. This study aimed to determine the environmental conditions for the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in a non-industrial area, and patient-reported outcomes after surgical release. Materials and method. This observational study utilized convenience sampling to screen 100 consecutive patients for carpal tunnel syndrome at the Orthopedic Clinic, using two questionnaires. Data were collected from the Disability of Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, and the PROMIS® (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System) Upper Extremity and PROMIS® SF 3a questionnaire (Pain Intensity). The relationship of various repetitive musculoskeletal disorders to CTS was validated by questionnaire scores, PROMIS® T-score, and correlation coefficients. Results. Finally, CTS was confirmed by electromyography in 69 patients (55 females and 14 males; average age: 47.5 years). Aging significantly influenced the occurrence of symptoms associated with pain (neck, thoracic, lower back, shoulder, and CTS (p<0.001)). Those employed for longer more frequently declared performing exercises to prevent overload pain (p<0.001). DASH results significantly correlated with the PROMIS Upper Extremity score (r =-0.64; p<0.05). Conclusions. Geographical and environmental conditions indicate that even though working with a computer is described as an essential risk factor for CTS, the study group showed a predominance of elements that were unrelated to working at a computer. CTS also occurred among people working physically, and even among unemployed individuals. The existence of a statistically significant, strong, negative correlation (r=-0.64; p < 0.05) between the results obtained in the questionnaires DASH and PROMIS Upper Extremity has been demonstrated.

“…A large number of measurement tools for evaluating patients with shoulder problems are available for assessing symptoms, functioning and quality of life, the majority of which were developed in English-speaking countries. Some of those questionnaires available are: the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) [ 6 ] and the Shoulder Instability Questionnaire (SIQ) [ 7 ], the Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder Index (WOOS) [ 8 ], the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) [ 9 ] and the Rotator Cuff Quality of Life Index (RC-QOL) [ 10 ], the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH) [ 11 ] and its shortened version - QuickDASH [ 12 , 13 ].…”

BackgroundThe Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) is a joint specific outcome tool that assesses the quality of life in patients with various rotator cuff problems.Our purpose was to evaluate selected psychometric characteristics (internal consistency, validity, reliability and agreement) of the Polish version of WORC in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair.MethodsSixty-nine subjects took part in the study with a mean age 55.5 (range 40–65). All had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in 2015–2016. Data from 57 patients in whom symptoms in the shoulder joint had not changed within 10–14 days were analyzed in a WORC test-retest using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Standard Error of Measurement (SEM) and Minimal Detectable Change (MDC). WORC was compared to the short version of the Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (QuickDash) and the Short Form-36 v. 2.0 (SF-36).ResultsHigh internal consistency of 0.94 was found using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Reliability of the WORC resulted in ICC = 0.99, agreement assessed with SEM and MDC amounted to 1.62 and 4.48 respectively. The validity analysis of WORC showed strong correlations with QuickDash and SF-36 PCS (Physical Component Summary), while moderate with SF-36 MCS (Mental Component Summary). WORC had no floor or ceiling effect.ConclusionsThe Polish version of the WORC is a reliable and valid tool with high internal consistency for assessing the quality of life in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Introduction. Diabetes and diabetes complications can cause many symptoms impairing the patient's mobility and cause difficulties in performing daily activities. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of diabetes and diabetes complications on hand dexterity and quality of life in a group of patients in their place of residence. Materials and Method. The studied group consisted of 100 people with diabetes-47 women (47%) and 53 men (53%). The respondents were patients at the Non-Public Health Care Centre of Environmental and Family Nursing in Bialystok, northeast Poland. The study used questionnaires pertaining to disabilities of the upper limbs: QuickDASH, and SF-36v2 Health Survey. Results. Significant, inversely proportional correlations between the results of the QuickDASH and the general results of the SF-36v2 Health Survey were shown, which means that the correlation coefficient r =-0.847 and the quality of life results in PCS (physical component summery) and MCS (mental component summery), the correlation coefficients were r =-0.489 and r =-0.842, respectively. The greater the disability in hand dexterity was, the lower the quality of life in the physical and mental health domains. Existence of one complication did not significantly affect the outcome of the QuickDASH, while the occurrence of two or three complications had a significant impact on this result (p <0.05). Conclusions. Patients' quality of life declines significantly when two or more complications occur, both in the physical and mental domains. Older age groups reported worse sensing within the hands. Patients with comorbidities assessed their quality of life considerably worse.
