As relapse rates and patterns of failure differ with each treatment, a tailored
followup program is needed.
Table 2 shows that at first
followup, finger flexor spasticity score of [greater than or equal to] 2 were observed in 28 (66.7%) cases in the control group as compared to only 10 (25%) cases in the intervention group and the difference was observed to be statistically significant.
Her
followup appointment should have been scheduled for 1 week.
A total of 1,023 patients on testosterone therapy were followed for up to 17 years with a median
followup of approximately 5 years.
However, conservative
followup also has made its place in the literature [1, 3, 4].
We further excluded 664 donors who were diagnosed with a primary nonmalignant tumor (SEER "behavior" variable coded as benign, borderline, or in situ tumor) during study
followup. We also excluded one year and two year periods following first donation from the analysis to ensure exclusion of donors with potentially undiagnosed cancer at time of donation or cancers diagnosed shortly after donation (n = 57 and 333, resp.).
With short-term results, effective, safe and an acceptable adverse-effect profile has been proved; however, studies with longer
followup [2] are needed.
According to Balsiger et al., only 20% of patients maintained 50% excess weight loss (EWL) at 10-year
followup [4].
In clinical practice it is usually used as an auxiliary method to show disease activity in the
followup of uveitis patients.
All patients were invited to a
followup after 6.2 months.
