    Abstract Background: This study addresses the issue of shared decision-making (SDM) in a Norwegian home-based palliative care setting. The significance of patient involvement in SDM is widely acknowledged, and many patients want to participate in decisions about care and treatment. Yet, it remains a need for more knowledge regarding the initiators and approaches of SDM in the context of home-based palliative care, particularly from the patients' perspective. The aim of this study is to understand patients' experiences and preferences for SDM in home-based palliative care, seeking to enhance the quality of care and direct the planning of healthcare services.
    Methods: We used a qualitative explorative design. A hermeneutic approach was employed, and data was collected through in-dept interviews with 13 patients.
    Results: The study uncovered an overarching theme of "Navigating to reach own decisions," comprising three sub-themes: "To be trapped in life without decisions to act on"; "To surrender to others and let others deal with decisions"; "To continue to be oneself without focusing on disease and decision-making".
    Conclusions: The findings underscore the need for flexible, person-centered approaches in SDM, tailored to the fluctuating health literacy and changing preferences of patients in palliative care settings. Our study contributes to the understanding of SDM in palliative care by highlighting how patients navigate the balance between autonomy and reliance on HCPs. Future research should explore how healthcare systems, including HCPs' roles in the system, can adapt to the patients' dynamic needs, to ensuring that SDM will remain a supportive and empowering process for patients at all stages of their disease.

    Abstract Background: Healthcare services are increasingly being shifted to home settings for patients nearing end-of-life. Consequently, the burden on family caregivers is significant. Their vulnerable situation remains poorly understood and there is little information available regarding their experiences of dignity.
    Aim: This study seeks to understand the experiences of family caregivers related to dignity and loss of dignity, aiming to provide a deeper insight into their situation when caring for a home-dwelling family member nearing end-of-life.
    Research design and participants: This exploratory study consists of a second analysis combining data from two primary studies, including 24 family caregivers of a family member nearing end-of-life, and is founded upon Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics.
    Ethical considerations: Approval was obtained from the Norwegian Agency for Shared Services in Education and Research and was based on voluntary participation, informed consent, and confidentiality.
    Results: The following three main themes were identified: Having a meaningful existence within the living environment, being seen and valued as a family caregiver in relation with others and suffering in a space of loneliness. These contextual, relational, and existential perspectives were found to be closely interrelated.
    Conclusion and final considerations: The dignity of family caregivers was closely tied to being seen as unique individuals, not merely caregivers, thereby requiring healthcare professionals (HCPs) to understand their personal needs. This study highlights the emotional distress and loneliness family caregivers feel in their dual role within the healthcare system, thereby calling for HCPs to adopt an attitude of gentleness and recognition to impart dignity-preserving care in homecare practices.

    Abstract Aims: Histology is widely used for diagnosis of persistent infection during reimplantation in two-stage revision hip and knee arthroplasty, although data on its utility remain scarce. Therefore, this study aims to assess the predictive value of permanent sections at reimplantation in relation to reinfection risk, and to compare results of permanent and frozen sections.
    Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 226 patients (90 hips, 136 knees) with periprosthetic joint infection who underwent two-stage revision between August 2011 and September 2021, with a minimum follow-up of one year. Histology was assessed via the SLIM classification. First, we analyzed whether patients with positive permanent sections at reimplantation had higher reinfection rates than patients with negative histology. Further, we compared permanent and frozen section results, and assessed the influence of anatomical regions (knee versus hip), low- versus high-grade infections, as well as first revision versus multiple prior revisions on the histological result at reimplantation. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), chi-squared tests, and Kaplan-Meier estimates were calculated.
    Results: Overall, the reinfection rate was 18%. A total of 14 out of 82 patients (17%) with positive permanent sections at reimplantation experienced reinfection, compared to 26 of 144 patients (18%) with negative results (p = 0.996). Neither permanent sections nor fresh frozen sections were significantly associated with reinfection, with a sensitivity of 0.35, specificity of 0.63, PPV of 0.17, NPV of 0.81, and accuracy of 58%. Histology was not significantly associated with reinfection or survival time for any of the analyzed sub-groups. Permanent and frozen section results were in agreement for 91% of cases.
    Conclusion: Permanent and fresh frozen sections at reimplantation in two-stage revision do not serve as a reliable predictor for reinfection.

    Abstract Previously, we described the development of the first part of the framework of Patient and Informal Caregiver Participation in Research (PAICPAIR part 1) and how it was implemented in the empirical study Dying With Dignity. Currently, we present our choices and experiences gained in PAICPAIR part 2, highlighting how PAICPAIR guided us as a modifiable and adaptable framework, with a particular emphasis on identifying and meeting the individual needs of our vulnerable coresearchers. This framework can be used as a methodological approach and study design in future research and inspire researchers to include patients receiving palliative care and informal caregivers-as coresearchers.

    Abstract Septic arthritis is an orthopedic emergency potentially causing irreversible joint damage. However, the predictive value of potential risk factors such as early postoperative laboratory parameters remains uncertain. We investigated risk factors for initial surgical treatment failure using data from 249 patients (194 knees, 55 shoulders) treated for acute septic arthritis between 2003 and 2018. Necessity for further surgical intervention was defined as primary outcome. Demographic data, medical history, initial and postoperative laboratory parameters, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Kellgren and Lawrence classification were collected. Two scoring systems were developed as tools for failure risk estimation after initial surgical irrigation and debridement. More than one intervention was necessary in 26.1% of cases. Treatment failure occurred significantly more often for those with longer symptom duration (p = 0.003), higher CCI grades (p = 0.027), Kellgren-Lawrence grade IV (p = 0.013), shoulder arthroscopy (p = 0.010), positive bacterial culture results (p < 0.001), slow postoperative CRP decline until day three (p = 0.032) and five (p = 0.015), reduced WBC-decline (p = 0.008), and lower hemoglobin (p < 0.001). Scores for third and fifth postoperative day achieved AUCs of 0.80 and 0.85, respectively. This study identified risk factors for treatment failure in patients with septic arthritis, suggesting that early postoperative laboratory parameters can guide further treatment.

    Abstract Introduction Limb salvage surgery for periacetabular malignancies is technically demanding and associated with a considerable likelihood of postoperative complications and surgical revision. Reconstruction using custom-made implants represents the treatment of choice. This study was conducted to analyze treatment outcomes of custom-made implants in a single orthopaedic tumor center. Patients and Methods Twenty patients with a histologically verified periacetabular malignancy and a median follow up time of 5 (1-17) years were included. Results The median number of revision surgeries per patient was 1.5 (0-7). Complications were dislocations in 3 patients, aseptic loosening in 4 patients, deep infections in 9 patients, thromboembolic events in 5 patients and sciatic nerve lesions in 4 patients. Overall survival was 77% after one year, 69% after two years and 46% after five years. Median Harris Hip Score was 81 (37-92) points at last follow up. Conclusion Although internal hemipelvectomy and reconstruction using custom-made implants is linked with a high risk of postoperative complications, good functional outcomes can be regularly achieved. This information may help treating surgeons to find adequate indications, as eligible patients need to be critically selected and integrated into the decision-making process.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate whether biological DMARDs affect the risk of aseptic loosening after total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) in patients with RA.
    Methods: We retrospectively identified all patients suffering from RA who underwent THA/TKA at our academic centre between 2002 and 2015 and linked them with an existing prospective observational RA database at our institution. The risk of aseptic loosening was estimated using radiological signs of component loosening (RCL). A time-dependent Cox regression analysis was used to compare the risk of implant loosening between patients treated with traditional DMARDS and biological DMARDs, or alternately both over time.
    Results: A total of 155 consecutive total joint arthroplasties (TJAs) (103 TKA vs 52 THA) was retrospectively included in the study. Mean age at implantation was 59 ± 13 years. Mean follow-up time was 69 ± 43 months. Overall, 48 (31%) TJAs showed signs of RCL, with 28 (27.2%) RCLs occurring after TKA compared with 20 after THA (38.5%). A significant difference regarding the incidence of RCL between the traditional DMARDs group (39 cases of RCL, 35%) and the biological DMARDs group (nine cases of RCL, 21%) (P = 0.026) was observed using the log-rank test. This was also true when using a time-dependent Cox regression with therapy as well as arthroplasty location (hip vs knee) as variables (P = 0.0447).
    Conclusion: Biological DMARDs may reduce the incidence of aseptic loosening after TJA in patients with RA compared with traditional DMARDs. This effect seems to be more pronounced after TKA than THA.
