Abstract

Purpose

Raising public knowledge and perception would have a discernible impact on providing optimal care and reducing the burden of arthritis in the community. This systematic review aimed to identify the public knowledge about the common arthritic conditions in Saudi Arabia.

Methods

We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and CENTRAL for relevant literature. We included questionnaire-based cross-sectional studies performed in Saudi Arabia assessing the public perception of general knowledge, causes/risk factors, signs/symptoms, and relieving/management measures of the common arthritic conditions including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and gout. The meta-analysis was performed on outcomes reported in ≥ two studies utilizing a random-effects model

Results

Ten studies representing 6703 participants were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review. A total of 35 questions were feasible to be included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis estimated that 83.51%, 54.51%, and 80.42% have ever hearsd or read about OA, RA, and gout. Joint pain and swelling were perceived to be the main signs/symptoms of OA, RA, and gout. 7.5% think OA is predisposed by genetics while only 33.6% think the same of RA. RA knowledge in general is suboptimum. Only 27.04% think medications can help in the management of gout.

Conclusion

The Saudi public perception of the general knowledge and causes/risk factors of the most common arthritic conditions was acceptable. The level of knowledge about other aspects of the common arthritic conditions is still limited and needs to be addressed by future educational interventions.

Aerobes Training hilft bei Fibromyalgie

Sport im aeroben Bereich ist ein veritables Mittel, um die Schmerzen von Menschen mit Fibromyalgie zu reduzieren, wie eine Metaanalyse zeigt. Frequenz, Dauer und Intensität der Übungen geben den Ausschlag.

Positive Langzeitdaten zu Inlays aus hochvernetztem Polyethylen

10-Jahres-Daten einer randomisierten Studie sprechen dafür, dass Knie-TEP-Inlays aus hochvernetztem (HXLPE) und konventionellem Polyethylen selten Revisionen erfordern – und HXLPE in puncto Abnutzung vielleicht sogar die Nase vorn hat.

Was bringt die Spritze ins Gelenk bei Arthrose?

Ein hochkarätiges Studienteam hat untersucht, wie gut intraartikulär verabreichte Substanzen zur Behandlung von Knie- und Hüftarthrose wirken. Für die meisten ist die Wirksamkeit alles andere als klar, einige werden offenbar überschätzt, für eine Substanz wird deutlich, dass sie vor allem schadet.

Leitlinienkonformes Management thermischer Verletzungen

Thermische Verletzungen gehören zu den schwerwiegendsten Traumen und hinterlassen oft langfristige körperliche und psychische Spuren. Die aktuelle S2k-Leitlinie „Behandlung thermischer Verletzungen im Kindesalter (Verbrennung, Verbrühung)“ bietet eine strukturierte Übersicht über das empfohlene Vorgehen.
