Abstract

Background: Shoulder osteoarthritis is a common cause of pain, disability and difficulty sleeping. Patient information leaflets are produced by NHS Trusts with the aim of informing patients about their diagnosis and available treatment options.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify and describe the non-surgical management of people with shoulder osteoarthritis according to publicly available information leaflets produced by NHS Trusts.

Methods: One reviewer undertook an electronic search using Google to identify publicly available patient-facing information leaflets (PIL) produced by NHS Trusts which detailed non-surgical management strategies for people with shoulder osteoarthritis. Relevant data were extracted by one reviewer and verified by two reviewers.

Results: Seventeen PILs from 17 different UK NHS Trusts were identified ranging from December 2016 to February 2024. Information provided in the PIL varied, with topics including general osteoarthritis management, exercise, analgesia, injections, and surgical indications. No PIL covered all areas recommended in the NICE Osteoarthritis Management guidelines.

Conclusion: PILs developed and published by NHS Trusts are variable in content and do not fully reflect current clinical guidelines. High-quality research to inform consistent, clinically, and cost-effective treatment pathways, including information provision, for patients with shoulder osteoarthritis is needed.

肩骨关节炎患者公共卫生服务信息单张分析

背景：肩关节骨性关节炎是引起疼痛、残疾和睡眠困难的常见原因。病人信息传单是由国民保健服务信托基金制作的，目的是告知病人他们的诊断和可用的治疗方案。目的：本研究的目的是识别和描述肩关节骨性关节炎患者的非手术治疗，根据NHS信托基金制作的公开信息传单。方法：一名审稿人使用谷歌进行电子搜索，以确定由NHS信托基金制作的公开可获得的面向患者的信息传单（PIL），其中详细介绍了肩关节骨关节炎患者的非手术管理策略。相关数据由一名审稿人提取，两名审稿人验证。结果：从2016年12月至2024年2月，从17个不同的英国NHS信托基金中鉴定了17个PILs。在PIL中提供的信息各不相同，主题包括一般骨关节炎管理，运动，镇痛，注射和手术指征。没有PIL涵盖NICE骨关节炎管理指南中推荐的所有领域。结论：NHS信托机构制定和发布的PILs在内容上是可变的，不能完全反映当前的临床指南。需要高质量的研究，为肩关节骨性关节炎患者提供一致的、临床的、具有成本效益的治疗途径，包括信息提供。
