A fixed-dose combination of adapalene 0.1%-BPO 2.5% allows an early and sustained improvement in quality of life and patient treatment satisfaction in severe acne.

INTRODUCTION: Acne has a significant negative impact on quality of life (QoL): lack of self-confidence, depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts. The objective was to assess the impact of an initial and continued therapy in severe acne patients through patient-related outcomes (PRO). METHODS: In two sequential double-blind randomized studies, patients received either adapalene 0.1% and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% (A-BPO) or vehicle, associated with doxycycline 100 mg for 12 weeks. Patients having obtained at least a good improvement according to investigator global assessment were re-randomized fo

Comparison of functional outcomes and patient satisfaction in patients with lumbar canal stenosis with and without concomitant obesity following lumbar decompression surgery and their correlation with BMI.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is an important predictor of development of Lumbar canal stenosis (LCS) and its symptoms. LCS further restricts the mobility of the patient and a vicious cycle develops. The operative decision on patients with LCS and obesity is a matter of debate. Hence, we attempted to compare changes in body mass index and patient satisfaction in patients with LCS with and without concomitant obesity, undergoing spinal decompression surgery. METHODS: Patients undergoing decompression for LCS between 1st June 2019 to 31st May 2020 were included. Baseline characteristics including age, se…

Patient and Parent Satisfaction With Sling Use After Pediatric Upper Extremity Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Customized Cast-Sling Versus Standard Cast and Sling.

BACKGROUND: Long arm cast immobilization after operative and nonoperative treatment of pediatric upper extremity fractures is common. The use of a sling to aid in carrying the casted extremity as well as provide further immobilization is also common practice. Off-the-shelf slings vary in quality and fit, can be confusing for parents/patients to apply, and lead to frustration and dissatisfaction with its use. The purpose of this investigation was to compare patient/parent centered outcomes after the use of a customized sling compared with a standard sling by utilizing a prospective, randomized-

Assessing patient satisfaction in inflammatory bowel disease using the QUOTE-IBD survey: a small step for clinicians, a potentially large step for improving quality of care.

BACKGROUND: Patient satisfaction is thought integral to high quality of care (QoC) in chronic disease models, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here we utilized the QUOTE-IBD survey in IBD clinic patients, in order to examine potential deficiencies in QoC from the patients' perspective, thus possibly amenable to change. METHODS: Consecutive patients attending a single clinic were asked to complete the QUOTE-IBD survey, where 22 items (in seven domains) were rated for importance (I), and actual performance (P), and a quality index (QI) was derived. A QI <9.0 indicated suboptimal sati…
