The Impact

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined therapeutic education/physical activity program on risk factors for falls in elderly fall patients hospitalized in a rehabilitation healthcare service. This combined program is compared to a control program, which offers physical activity only. Method: Thirty fall patients are evaluated on the TUG, Tinetti, and FES-I tests and randomly assigned either to the group consisting of 24 sessions of physical activity alone, with endurance, stretching, balance and muscle strengthening exercises, or to the physical activity group combined with four therapeutic fall prevention education sessions. Results: For both programs, results reveal significant differences between the pre-tests and post-tests on each balance score and equally on fear of falling. An interaction effect (group × time) is observed on the FES only, which means that fear of falling decreases significantly more in the Physical Activity and Patient Education group than in the Physical Activity alone group. Conclusion: Therapeutic patient education seems to reduce fear of falling. This highlights the potential impact that such programs could have on elderly people who have had a previous fall/falls in terms of regaining self-confidence when going about their daily activities.

Aim. To study the impact of birth characteristics on the risk of atopic dermatitis in a twin population. Methods. In a population-based questionnaire study of 10,809 twins, 3–9 years of age, from the Danish Twin Registry, we identified 907 twin pairs discordant for parent-reported atopic dermatitis. We cross-linked with data from the Danish National Birth Registry and performed cotwin control analysis in order to test the impact of birth characteristics on the risk of atopic dermatitis. Results. Apgar score, OR (per unit) = 1.23 (1.06–1.44), P=0.008, and female sex, OR = 1.31 (1.06–1.61), P=0.012, were risk factors for atopic dermatitis in cotwin control analysis, whereas birth anthropometric factors were not significantly related to disease development. Risk estimates in monozygotic and dizygotic twins were not significantly different for the identified risk factors. Conclusions. In this population-based cotwin control study, high Apgar score was a risk factor for atopic dermatitis. This novel finding must be confirmed in subsequent studies.

The Impact

Objective: Today, with the availability of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), the value of therapeutic patient education (TPE) in chronic hepatitis C needs to be redefined, as these drugs have made treatment simple. The study presented here in sought to define what role TPE plays today in hepatitis C management along with what factors are associated with such programs being used. Methods: We included 786 patients mono-infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) who underwent treatment with DAAs. 284 of whom benefited from a TPE program (36.1%). The characteristics of HCV and how it was treated were compared retrospectively between TPE+ and TPE- patients. The TPE program was overseen by a nurse. Results: The following factors were associated with TPE on multivariate analysis: migrant status (OR=3.63, 95%CI: 2.24-5.96, p <0.001), advanced fibrosis (OR=1.73, 95%CI: 1.08-2.76, p=0.022), tobacco use (OR=1.84, 95%CI: 1.10-3.08, p=0.020) and pangenotypic DAA treatment (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.26-0.68, p <0.001). Sustained virological response at 12 weeks (SVR 12) was 96% in both groups. Conclusion: Overall, TPE was primarily followed by migrants during their HCV management as part of overall medico-psycho-social care, and primarily those with severe disease. Practice implication: TPE could help reduce the impact of social inequality on health.
