Abstract

Objectives

This study describes the prevalence of pain in trauma patients 1 year after hospital admission and investigates separately health-related quality of life (QoL) for patients suffering severe pain and for those without pain. Moreover, psychosocial factors are examined for their impact on pain.

Methods

Patients were contacted 12 months after admission in order to complete the following questionnaires: Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Trauma Outcome Profile (TOP), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Impact of Event Scale—Revised (IES-R) and additional questions concerning satisfaction, work and financial status. Relevant pain at follow-up was defined as <80 points on the pain subscale of the TOP.

Results

Two hundred and twenty patients were included. The Injury Severity Score (ISS) ranged from 1 to 41. Fifty-three percent (53 %) of patients suffered a severe trauma (ISS > 15). One year after injury, 55 % of patients had relevant pain according to the TOP. Patients with pain were older (41.4 vs. 34.4 years, p = 0.003) and had slightly more severe injuries (ISS 17.1 vs. 14.9, p = 0.115). There were significant differences between pain and no-pain patients on all domains of QoL (p < 0.001) and on the BDI, STAI and IES-R (p < 0.001). Pain patients more often experienced a stressful event and job-related and financial difficulties. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as the strongest predictor for pain [odds ratio (OR): 4.38, p = 0.015], followed by a stressful life event (OR: 4.08, p = 0.001).

Discussion

Pain is strongly associated with psychosocial complaints 1 year after trauma. For the treatment of pain following a traumatic event, social reintegration and emotional regulation by means of occupational rehabilitation and psychotherapy should receive more attention.

Morton-Neurom – besser Kortikoid oder Hyaluronsäure spritzen?

Dieser Vergleich hat einen klaren Ausgang: Forschende aus São Paulo haben die Wirkung ultraschallgesteuerter Kortikoidinjektionen gegen die Beschwerden des Morton-Neuroms mit den Effekten von Hyaluronsäureinjektionen verglichen. Das Fazit für die Praxis ist deutlich.

Morbus Dupuytren: Kollagenase-Injektion versus partielle Aponeurektomie

In der Behandlung von mittelschweren Dupuytren-Kontrakturen können Kollagenase-Injektionen von der Wirksamkeit her nicht mit der limitierten Aponeurektomie mithalten. Das hat der direkte Vergleich der beiden Methoden in der DISC-Studie ergeben.

Neue Osteoporose-Leitlinie: Frakturinzidenz senken, Versorgung verbessern

Das sind – zusammen mit dem Erhalt bzw. der Verbesserung der Funktionsfähigkeit und Lebensqualität der Patientinnen und Patienten – die Ziele der 2023er Leitlinie der Osteologischen Fachgesellschaften e.V. (DVO). Noch fremdeln viele Ärztinnen und Ärzte mit den neuen Konzepten und Risikotabellen. 

Myositiden – Fortschritte bei der Risikostratifizierung und Diagnostik

Bei der Myositis hat sich viel getan, was für den klinischen Alltag relevant ist – so Prof. Dr. Britta Maurer, Universitätsspital Bern, beim Deutschen Rheumatologiekongress 2024. Morbidität und Mortalität könnten zurückgehen.
