Evaluation of functions after surgical treatment in patients with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome using QuickDASH
reliability of the Quick Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire in patients with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome. Methods: A total of 106 patients (15 males, 91 females; mean age: 30.7±10.2 years; range, 13 to 60 years) with arterial thoracic outlet syndrome were included in this prospective study between January 2015 and December 2018. The questionnaire was administered to all patients before and six months after surgery. The patients were operated using a transaxillary or supraclavicular approach under general anesthesia. Results: The Cronbach’s alpha value of the questionnaire was found to be 0.85 and the scale consisted of two factors. The change in both the functional status subscale scores (p
Arteriyel torasik çıkış sendromlu hastalarda cerrahi tedavi sonrası fonksiyonların QuickDASH ile değerlendirilmesi
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, arteriyel torasik çıkış sendromlu hastalarda Hızlı Kol, Omuz ve El Sorunları Anketi’nin geçerliği ve güvenirliği incelendi. Çalışma planı: Bu prospektif çalışmaya, Ocak 2015-Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında arteriyel torasik çıkış sendromlu 106 hasta (15 erkek, 91 kadın; ort. yaş: 30.7±10.2 yıl; dağılım, 13-60 yıl) alındı. Ameliyattan önce ve altı ay sonra tüm hastalara anket uygulandı. Hastalar genel anestezi altında transaksiller veya supraklaviküler yaklaşım ile ameliyat edildi. Bulgular: Anketin Cronbach alfa değeri 0.85 olarak bulundu ve ölçek iki faktörden oluşuyordu. Fonksiyonel durum alt ölçek puanlarında (p
