METHODS A total of adult 119 knees with complete discoid lateral meniscus confirmed by arthroscopy and 119 age- and ***-matched knees with normal meniscus were included. The radiographic signs of lateral joint space, fibular head height, lateral tibial spine height, lateral tibial plateau obliquity, lateral femoral condyle squaring, lateral tibial plateau cupping, lateral femoral condyle notching, and the condylar cut-off sign were evaluated. The receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated for best accuracy. A prediction model was developed by multivariable regression with generalized estimating models, and was validated using data from 111 knees of children with complete discoid lateral meniscus and 111 normal controls. RESULTS The fibular head hdylar cut-off sign yielded a much higher diagnostic value than each radiographic sign. Therefore, fibular head height and prediction models combined with radiographic signs can provide improved diagnostic value for complete discoid lateral meniscus. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.BACKGROUND The aim of palliative care is to optimize the quality of life of patients with incurable advanced diseases. Adequate psychotherapeutic and psychiatric care is essential in this context. OBJECTIVE This article presents the recommendations of the S3 guideline on palliative care for patients with incurable cancer with regard to psychotherapeutic and psychiatric contents. MATERIAL AND METHODS The guideline was developed under the leadership of the German Society for Palliative Medicine (DGP) within the methodological framework of the German Guideline Program in Oncology. Systematic literature reviews were carr
