Hormones and the health of women: past, present, and future. Keynote address.

The past and possible future roles for hormone use to prevent or encourage pregnancy and to manage or prevent menopause are considered. Beginning in the 1880s, gonadal extracts were used for 50 years to improve health and vigor; evidence for the benefit of these extracts was lacking. Oral contraceptives revolutionized women's lives in the 1960s but had side effects unsuspected until after marketing. Hormone replacement therapy, used for 50 years without large clinical trials of disease outcomes, now proves to have rather similar side effects. Physicians and politicians played interesting roles in their initial distrust and later embrace of hormones. Future uses of sex hormones are likely to be viewed as overmedicalization initially, and time will tell whether these uses are healthy or merely controversial.

Presidential guest address: the Swedish Hip Registry: increasing the sensitivity by patient outcome data.

The Swedish Hip Register was initiated in 1979. The mission of the register is to improve the outcome of THA. The hypothesis is that feedback of data stimulates participating clinics to reflect and improve. In addition to revision surgery, patient-based outcome measures and radiographic results are included to improve sensitivity. All patients who have a total hip arthroplasty answer a questionnaire preoperatively and again after 1, 6, and 10 years postoperatively. The questionnaire includes the Charnley classification, EQ-5D and visual analog scales concerning pain and overall satisfaction and is used by 31 of 81 units. Average costs for the procedure ($11,000) are obtained from a national database. The mean gain in the EQ-5D index after 1 year for 3900 patients was 0.37, giving a low cost of $3000 per quality adjusted life year. Patient satisfaction and pain amelioration generally was high. The national average 7-year survival (revision as endpoint), has improved from 93.5% (+/- 0.15) to 95.8 (+/- 0.15) between the two periods 1979 to 1991 and 1992 to 2003. National implant registers define the epidemiology of primary and revision surgery. In conjunction with individual subjective patient data and radiography they contribute to development of evidence-based THA surgery.
