Telemedicine in remote orthopaedic consultations: A randomised controlled trial
No full textDecentralised services using outreach clinics or modern technology are methods to reduce the patient burden by reducing transport time and costs to the health care system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of planned remote orthopaedic consultations with the help of videoconferences. From 2007 to 2012, we performed a randomised controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel groups: video-assisted remote consultations at a regional medical centre (RMC) (intervention) versus standard consultation in the orthopaedic outpatient clinic at the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) ( control). The participants had been referred to or were scheduled for a consultation at the orthopaedic outpatient clinic. The orthopaedic surgeons evaluated each consultation they performed by completing a questionnaire, with five five-level questions, each measuring five categories of experience. The primary outcome was the sum score calculated from this questionnaire, which was evaluated by the non-inferiority of the intervention group. The study design was based on the intention to treat principle. The secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction and cost effectiveness. The sum score of the specialist evaluation was significantly lower (i.e. “better”) at UNN compared to the RMC but was within the non-inferiority margin. The orthopaedic surgeons involved evaluated 98% of the video-assisted consultations as “good” or “very good” and equal to a standard consultation. In the ancillary analyses concerning professional quality, no significant difference between the two groups was noted. We did not observe any significant difference in patient-reported health outcomes (EQ-5D; EQ VAS). In terms of patient satisfaction, a significantly higher proportion of patients preferred remote consultation as their next consultation. We found that telemedicine service in this setting is cost-effective from societal and health sector perspectives. The study demonstrated that video-assisted consultations for selected orthopaedic patients is preferred to standard consultation in terms of clinician reported quality, patient-reported health outcomes and cost-effectiveness
Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections among adolescents in a high-incidence area in Norway: genotypes, prevalence, early sexual behaviour and testing patterns – a cross-sectional study The Finnmark High School Study (FHSS)
No full textChlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly reported curable sexually transmitted infection in Western high-income countries and can cause severe female reproductive tract morbidity. Despite extensive control efforts, chlamydia rates have increased in most countries since the mid-1990s. Young persons and especially adolescent girls have the highest infection rates. In general, girls are tested far more frequently than boys. High-resolution genotyping provides detailed information on the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of C. trachomatis.
In this thesis, we investigated; i) C. trachomatis genotype distribution and genetic diversity using MLST (multilocus sequence typing) and ompA genotyping in Finnmark, a high-incidence area in Norway, ii) associations between early sexual behaviour and prevalent chlamydia infection, and iii) demographic and sexual behaviour factors associated with chlamydia testing in a high school based screening and previous clinic based testing, among girls and boys aged 15-20 years who participated in the Finnmark High School Study conducted from September to November 2009.
We detected a large genetic diversity, multiple novel sequence types and alleles by MLST, and an atypical genovar distribution with predominance of G in a previously unmapped area. C. trachomatis genetic diversity in rural Finnmark and two other urban areas was similar. Chlamydia prevalence in sexually active girls was 7.3% and in boys 3.9%. Girls started their sexual career and were more sexually active at an earlier age and thus had a different risk profile from boys which may contribute to higher prevalence. Threefold more girls than boys reported previous clinic based testing which was associated with known chlamydia risk factors. School based screening reached 93% of participants and was associated with factors unknown to increase risk thus suggesting other motives. Half of infections were detected in those only tested at school. We confirmed the efficiency of school based screening to increase testing and detect hidden infections and we thus suggest this approach to be tried as a complement to other chlamydia control strategies in selected high-morbidity areas in Norway
