In episode 14 of season 6 of Inside the Science, we’re highlighting the study, “Development of a patient decision aid on subacromial decompression surgery and rotator cuff repair surgery: an international mixed-methods study” with Dr. Joshua Zadro. He explains from where the idea of this paper came, some specifics as to what is included in the decision aid itself, what was identified as to when a shoulder surgery is appropriate, and some of the differing opinions of the aid from patients versus various clinicians, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
Season 6, Episode 12 with Joshua Zadro: Effect of diagnostic labelling on management intentions for non-specific low back pain: A randomized scenario-based experiment
In episode 12 of season 6 of Inside the Science, we’re highlighting the study, “Effect of diagnostic labeling on management intentions for non-specific low back pain: A randomized scenario-based experiment” with Dr. Joshua Zadro. He explains how this paper was similar and different than his label impact on shoulder patients paper highlighted in S6E11, any unexpected results, why the need for imaging was chosen as the primary outcome, and what patient-type might be more influenced baby the labels chosen as their diagnosis, the clinical implications, and the big takeaways.
Season 6, Episode 11 with Joshua Zadro: Diagnostic Labels for Rotator Cuff Disease Can Increase People’s Perceived Need for Shoulder Surgery
In episode 11 of season 6 of Inside the Science we’re highlighting the study, “Diagnostic Labels for Rotator Cuff Disease Can Increase People’s Perceived Need for Shoulder Surgery: An Online Randomized Controlled Trial” with Dr. Joshua Zadro. He explains the details on what was in the literature previously including the variability of terms used to label it, what prompted he and his coauthors to conduct and publish it, specifics on how these surveys were delivered, there important results found, the clinical implications and the big takeaways.
