The Effect of Adoption on Functioning and Psychosocial Well-Being in Patients With Congenital Upper-Extremity Differences
Adoption status has been investigated in numerous populations, identifying negative and positive effects on patient outcomes. This study compared parent-reported outcomes in adopted and nonadopted individuals with congenital upper-extremity (UE) anomalies to determine whether there was a measurable difference in parent perceptions of psychosocial health and functioning.Cost Comparison of Botulinum Toxin Injections Versus Surgical Treatment in Pediatric Patients With Cerebral Palsy: A Markov Model
The purpose of this study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of surgical release to botulinum toxin injections in the treatment of upper-extremity (UE) cerebral palsy (CP).Outcomes of Pediatric and Adolescent Carpal Tunnel Release
To investigate carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) presentation and long-term outcomes of carpal tunnel release (CTR) in children and adolescents.Social Deprivation and Congenital Upper Extremity Differences—An Assessment Using PROMIS
Social deprivation, a measure of socioeconomic status, has been shown to negatively affect perceptions of orthopedic conditions and outcomes of treatment. The objective of this study was to assess whether social deprivation correlates with subjective assessment of function in pediatric patients with congenital hand differences.Radial Longitudinal Deficiency: Severity Differences Between U.S. and Japanese Cohorts
Radial longitudinal deficiency (RLD) presents on a spectrum of severity and associated diagnoses. The literature is limited in describing patient presentation without comparative data between countries. In a study comparing 2 cohorts of patients, 1 in the United States and 1 in Japan, we hypothesized that there would be a similar presentation of forearm deficiency severity, thumb hypoplasia severity, and associated syndromes between the 2 cohorts.Convergent Validity of PODCI and PROMIS Domains in Congenital Upper Limb Anomalies
This study evaluates the perceived functional and psychosocial impact of upper limb congenital anomalies prior to surgical intervention, utilizing the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure Information System (PROMIS) domains. We hypothesized that scores will be in the normal range and that the 2 outcomes measures will have strong convergent validity.
