Research paper thumbnail of Impact of COVID-19: urging a need for multi-domain assessment of COVID-19 inpatients

Findings The results of the assessment show that physical, functional, cognitive, nutritional, and psychological impairments are highly prevalent in the group of COVID-19 patients, both in ICU and non-ICU patients, adults and older adults. Message The high prevalence of physical, cognitive, psychological, and functional impairments in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, both ICU and non-ICU patients, indicates that assessment of impairments is imperative.

Research paper thumbnail of The added value of supervised hydrotherapy sessions to a 12-week exercise program after breast cancer treatment: a three-arm pseudo-randomized pilot study

The first aim of this pilot study was to explore whether adding supervised hydrotherapy sessions to a standard 12-week exercise program consisting of already two supervised sessions of landbased exercises has beneficial effects on physical and mental functioning and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. As a secondary aim, the added value of a third supervised training session with land-based exercises to the same standard exercise program was investigated. Breast cancer patients who finished primary cancer treatment were allocated to one of the three 12-week exercise programs, i.e. a standard exercise program with two supervised land-based exercise sessions per week (control group) or the same standard program with an additional weekly supervised hydrotherapy session (hydrotherapygroup) or land-based exercise session (land-based exercise group). The efficacy of the three programs was tested by comparing changes in physical and mental functioning and quality of life from pre-until post-intervention. Twenty-six (41%) patients were allocated to the control group, 21 (33%) to the hydrotherapy-group and 16 (26%) to the land-based exercise group. The results show no differences in any outcome between the three groups. Comparing the two exercise programs with three supervised sessions, results show a significantly larger improvement in the self-reported moderate (median (IQR) +1240 (412;3330) vs. +50(-1088;1125);p=0.020) and total physical activity level (+2982 (878;5457) vs. +370(-576;1718);p=0.008) in the hydrotherapy-group compared to the land-based exercise group. The opposite was found for the outcome 'physical symptoms', a subscale from the health-related quality of life questionnaire with a larger improvement in the land-based exercise group compared to the hydrotherapy-group (+3(0.6;4.8) vs. +0.6(-0.8;2.1); p=0.008). In conclusion, the results of this pilot study indicate that adding a third weekly supervised session to a 12-week exercise program consisting of already two weekly supervised sessions had no added value for the improvement of physical and mental functioning and quality of life after breast cancer treatment. If a third supervised session is organized, hydrotherapy may be a valuable exercise modality since moderate and total physical activity levels seem to improve more compared to an exercise program with three supervised land-based exercise sessions.

In this study we examine the effect of supervised teaching and personalized feedback on physiotherapists' completion and reporting of ICF in electronic patient records. Method: In this proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial, the intervention group (10 physiotherapists) received supervised teaching and four rounds of personalized feedback on reporting of ICF components in electronic patient records. In the intervention group, review on patient record completion (n=670 records) was performed at baseline, after teaching, after each of four feedback rounds, and at long-term follow-up. In the control group (5 physiotherapists), which received no supervised teaching nor personalized feedback, review (n=140 records) was performed at baseline, after the third feedback round of the intervention group, and at follow-up. Results: After the third round of feedback (95% vs 72% completion, β 2.68, 95% CI 0.62 to 4.74) patient record completion was significantly higher in the intervention group. This was also true for following ICF components: 'activity' (93% versus 64% completion, β 3.03, 95% CI 1.52 to 4.54), 'participation' (50% versus 14% completion, β 3.67, 95% CI 1.79 to 5.55), and 'personal factors' (35% versus 20% completion, β 2.10, 95% CI 0.63 to 3.57). These statistically significant and clinically relevant effects persisted at long-term follow-up. For 'environmental factors', effects after the third round of feedback (75% vs 30% completion, β 1.88, 95% CI 0.63 to 3.13) disappeared at follow-up. Reporting of 'body functions and structures' improved similarly across groups. Conclusions: Supervised teaching and personalized feedback are active ingredients of an intervention to improve reporting of ICF components in physiotherapeutic patient records.
