Periodontal reasons for tooth extraction in an adult population in Jordan

This survey studies the reasons for periodontal extraction of permanent teeth in an adult Jordanian population. A random sample of 30 general dental practitioners (GDPs) from a list of 300 GDPs (1:10) was contacted. Of these, the 26 dentists who participated in this study were asked to record teeth extracted and give reasons for extraction. Personal and demographic information and clinical details were obtained from 898 patients aged from 20 to 60 years. A total of 1,098 teeth were extracted during the 3-month study period. The results of this study revealed that dental caries (56.4% overall) was the main reason for tooth extraction, especially in 20-39 year olds. Periodontal disease (23.4% overall) was the next most frequent indication for extraction and became the commonest cause of tooth extraction in patients aged 40 years or more. Other reasons for tooth loss accounted for only 20.2% of the series. Advanced periodontal disease represented by pocketing were the dominant pathology when tooth loss occurred as the result of periodontal disease. As far as the type of tooth was concerned, the most frequently extracted teeth were molars followed by premolars, regardless of whether their loss was the result of the caries or the periodontal disease. This study suggests that caries and its consequences are responsible for more tooth loss in patients less than 40 years of age while extraction because of periodontal problems increases with age, and more commonly related to pocketing.

Reasons and Risk Factors for 30-Day Readmission After Outpatient Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Review of 3015 Cases

BackgroundA higher volume of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is starting to be performed in the outpatient setting. However, data on appropriate patient selection in the current literature are scarce.MethodsPatients who underwent primary TKA were identified in the 2012-2017 National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Outpatient procedure was defined as having a hospital length of stay of 0 days. The primary outcome was a readmission within the 30-day postoperative period. Reasons for and timing of readmission were identified. Risk factors for and effect of overnight hospital stay on 30-day readmission were evaluated.ResultsA total of 3015 outpatient TKA patients were identified. The incidence of 30-day readmission was 2.59% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.02-3.15). The majority of readmissions were nonsurgical site related (64%), which included thromboembolic and gastrointestinal complications. Risk factors for 30-day readmission include dependent functional status prior to surgery (relative risk [RR] 6.4, 95% CI 1.91-21.67, P = .003), hypertension (RR 2.5, 95% CI 1.47-4.25, P = .001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (RR 2.4, 95% CI 1.01-5.62, P = .047), and operative time ≥91 minutes (≥70th percentile) (RR 1.9, 95% CI 1.17-2.98, P = .008). For patients who had some of these risk factors, their rate of 30-day readmission was significantly reduced if they had stayed at least 1 night at the hospital.ConclusionOverall, the rate of 30-day readmission after outpatient TKA was low. Patients who are at high risk for 30-day readmission after outpatient TKA include those with dependent functional status, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and prolonged operative time. These patients had reduced readmissions after overnight admission and seem to benefit from an inpatient hospital stay.

Drinking Reasons and Alcohol Problems by Work Venue Among Female Sex Workers in Guangxi,China

Objective: Alcohol use is a key determinant of sexual risk behaviors, but pathways to alcohol use in the context of commercial sex still remain unclear. The present study explores reasons for drinking and their roles on alcohol use problems among female sex workers (FSWs) in different types of commercial sex venues. Method: In 2009, a sample of 1,022 FSWs from Guangxi, China completed a survey containing a 10-item Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) and a 28-item measure of reasons for drinking. Factor analysis revealed five reasons for drinking: suppression, disinhibition, work requirement, sexual enhancement, and confidence booster. Results: All identified reasons except confidence booster appeared to be related to a higher tendency of developing alcohol use problems among FSWs. Types of commercial sex venues moderated the relationship between work requirement and alcohol use problems. Conclusions: Alcohol-risk reduction interventions among this population need to provide them with alternative approaches to regulate emotions and modify their misconceptions about alcohol's sexual enhancing function. More attention is needed to FSWs’ vulnerability to the negative influence of occupational drinking.
