In Brief Study Design. Multicenter study. Objective. The purpose of this study is to prospectively analyze responsiveness the SRS-22 change at 1 and 2 years following primary surgery. Summary Background Data. A number efforts have been directed validation instrument in setting adolescent adult spinal deformity. However, few extensively analyzed ability detect (brought on by surgical treatment) scoliosis patients. Methods. multicenter prospective series consecutive patients (all primary/no...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. To analyze the trends in complications and mortality after spinal fusions. Summary of Background Data. Utilization fusions has been increasing during past decade. It is essential to evaluate surgical outcomes better identify patients who benefit most from intervention. Integration empiric evidence large administrative databases into clinical decision making instrumental providing higher-quality, evidence-based, patient-centered care....
Background: The surgical procedure to treat adult spinal deformity is challenging, with high rates of complications, including revision procedures performed repair instrumentation failure or unplanned complications. This study quantifies the incidence of, identifies predictors for, and determines health-related quality-of-life changes associated deformity. Methods: We analyzed a multicenter database patients who underwent for deformity, which was defined as having an age eighteen years older...
Objective. Provide benchmarks for the rates of complications by type and timing. Study Design. Prospective multicenter database. Background. Complication following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery have been previously reported. However, interplay between timing complication warrants further analysis. Methods. The data this study were sourced from a prospective, ASD date collected classified into three severity groups (minor, major, major leading to reoperation). Only occurring before...
In Brief Study Design. Prospective, observational study. Objective. To further validate the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) instrument by comparing scores of adult deformity patients with no prior history spine surgery to normal volunteers in age-gender matched groups. Summary Background Data. Efforts have been made SRS questionnaire adolescent and patients. An important psychometric attribute any quality life tool is its ability discriminate between subjects without condition interest....
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective review. Objective. The purpose of this study was to assess the preoperative neurologic risk in a consecutive series spinal deformity patients undergoing correction surgery at one institution. Summary Background Data. During surgery, monitoring techniques are commonly applied reduce deficits. While previous studies have demonstrated factors for changes setting these involved long time spans and heterogeneous patient populations. Methods. Of 301 cases...
Study Design. Multicenter, prospective study of consecutive adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. Objective. To compare alignment correction and perioperative complications after pedicle subtraction osteotomies (PSO) in the primary versus revision surgery setting for ASD. Summary Background Data. PSO are performed to correct sagittal plane deformity; however, these difficult procedures that have potential large blood loss risk intraoperative postoperative complications. Methods. Inclusion...
OBJECT Alignment changes in the cervical spine that occur following surgical correction for thoracic deformity remain poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to evaluate such a cohort adults with treated surgically. METHODS authors conducted multicenter retrospective analysis consecutive patients deformity. Inclusion criteria were as follows: corrective osteotomy deformity, upper-most instrumented vertebra (UIV) between T-1 and T-4, lower-most (LIV) at or above L-5 (LIV ≥ L-5) ilium...
In two studies we examined the influence of violent television news on viewers emotional experiences and facial expressions. doing so, considered formal content aspects reports as well gratifications independent variables. Analyses showed that violence in TV elicits primarily negative emotions depending type portrayed violence. Effects presentation mode expected gratification feelings are traceable. On whole, fear is neither only nor most prominent emotion; rather, viewers seem to react...
Study Design. Retrospective study. Objective. The aim of this study was to propose radiographic characteristics patients with cervical disability and investigate the relevant parameters when assessing alignment. Summary Background Data. Although kyphosis is traditionally recognized as presentation deformity, an increasing number studies demonstrated that may not equal deformity. Therefore, several other differentiating criteria for deformity should be investigated supported quality life...
Study Design. Retrospective review of a prospective database. Objective. The aim this study was to evaluate postop clinical recovery among adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients between frailty states undergoing primary procedures Summary Background Data. Frailty severity may be an important determinant for impaired after corrective surgery. Methods. It included ASD with health-related quality life (HRQLs) at baseline (BL), 1 year (1Y), and 3 years (3Y). Patients stratified by ASD-frailty...
Retrospective cohort study.Develop a simple scoring system to estimate proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) risk.A total of 417 adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients (80% females, 57.8 years) with 2-year follow-up were included. PJK was defined as >10° kyphotic angle between the upper-most instrumented vertebra (UIV) and vertebrae 2 levels above UIV (UIV+2). Based on previous literature review, following point score attributed parameters likely impact development: age >55 years (1 point),...
Study Design. This is a multicenter, prospective cohort study. Objective. study tests the hypothesis that elimination of lower limb compensation in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) will significantly increase magnitude sagittal malalignment. Summary Background Data. ASD affects significant proportion elderly population, impairing functional alignment and inhibiting overall quality life. To counteract these effects, use their spine, pelvis, limbs to create compensatory posture...
Study Design. Retrospective review of adult spinal deformity patients in a multiethnic database. Objective. To investigate the role ethnicity on recruitment compensatory mechanisms for sagittal deformity. Summary Background Data. While impacts age, sex, and pelvic morphology ability to compensate malalignment have been investigated, mechanism is poorly understood. Methods. Patients from USA (85% Caucasian) >25 y/o were propensity matched by incidence with Korea Japan. Only primary or those...
Assessing presence using questionnaires can yield interesting insights into the user experience in virtual environments, but is also limited both terms of reliability and validity. Breaks (BIPs) are an alternative, given that researcher assess them correctly. Prior studies on psychophysiology BIPs followed exploratory approach by not providing a cognitive mechanism for lacking external We argue be considered special form orienting responses involving real world. In first presented studies,...
Proximal junctional failure (PJF) is a severe form of proximal kyphosis. Previous reports on PJF have been limited by heterogeneous cohorts and relatively short follow-ups. The authors' objectives herein were to identify risk factors for assess its long-term incidence revision rates in homogeneous cohort.The authors reviewed data from the Adult Symptomatic Lumbar Scoliosis 1 trial (ASLS-1), National Institutes Health-sponsored prospective multicenter study. Inclusion criteria an age ≥ 40...
Study Design. Prospective, multicenter. Objective. To determine if stiffness significantly affects function or satisfaction after pan-lumbar arthrodesis. Summary of Background Data. The Lumbar Stiffness Disability Index (LSDI) is a validated measure the effect lumbar on functional activities. Data suggests that patients undergoing fusion entire spine are at greatest risk limitations from stiffness. Methods. LSDI, Short Form 36, Scoliosis Research Society-22, and Oswestry were administered...
Histological growth plate analysis. OBJECTIVE.: To evaluate the histological effects on vertebral plates following corrective mechanical tethering in porcine scoliosis model.Theoretically, modulation allows progressive correction setting of (Hueter-Volkmann principle).This IACUC-approved study divided 9 immature Yorkshire pigs into 2 groups: deforming tether release (TR, n = 4) group and anterior (AC, 5) group. Once 50° coronal Cobb was demonstrated, TR had tether, whereas AC additional...
