Background: The restoration of normal sagittal alignment is a critical goal in adult spinal deformity surgery to achieve favorable outcomes and prevent mechanical complications. Schwab modifiers have been accepted as targets for appropriate alignment, but addressing these does not always high complication or revision rates. This may be because the linear absolute numerical parameters do cover whole pelvic incidence spectrum distribution lordosis, anteversion, negative malalignment are...
<h3>Objectives</h3> To assess the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in adolescents and clinical features LBP 2 European countries to evaluate effect on health-related quality life (HRQOL) using standardized validated generic disease-specific instruments. <h3>Design</h3> Cross-sectional study. <h3>Setting</h3> Secondary schools Barcelona, Spain, Fribourg, Switzerland. <h3>Participants</h3> Representative sample from cities. <h3>Intervention</h3> Selected completed a questionnaire including...
Retrospective review of prospectively-collected, multicenter adult spinal deformity (ASD) databases.To apply artificial intelligence (AI)-based hierarchical clustering as a step toward classification scheme that optimizes overall quality, value, and safety for ASD surgery.Prior classifications have focused on radiographic parameters associated with patient reported outcomes. Recent work suggests there are many other impactful preoperative data points. However, the ability to segregate...
OBJECTIVE The subtraction of lumbar lordosis (LL) from the pelvic incidence (PI) offers an estimate LL required for a given PI value. Relative (RLL) and distribution index (LDI) are PI-based individualized measures. RLL quantifies magnitude relative to ideal as defined by PI. LDI defines lower arc in proportion total lordosis. aim this study was compare - their ability predict postoperative complications correlations with health-related quality life (HRQOL) scores. METHODS Inclusion criteria...
Prospective, multicenter, international observational study.To evaluate motor neurologic outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for complex adult spinal deformity (ASD).The after surgical correction ASD have been reported with significant variability and not measured as a primary endpoint any prospective, study.The outcome measure was the change American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) Lower Extremity Motor Scores (LEMS) obtained preoperatively, at hospital discharge, 6 weeks months...
Prospective study of patients with subacute osteoporotic fracture (SOF) or chronic low back pain (CLBP).To evaluate reliability, validity, and responsiveness a purposefully brief outcome instrument.A minimum standardized "core set" was proposed for monitoring in 1998, but an assessment metric properties still lacking.The Core Set, SF-36, Oswestry questionnaires were completed by 154 patients. Test-retest reproducibility evaluated subsample 43 stable CLBP. Responsiveness estimating effect...
Retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected single-center database.We describe modified halo-gravity traction (HGT) protocol for patients with severe spinal deformities in West Africa, and assess the clinical radiographic outcomes.Three-column osteotomies are frequently used correction deformities; however, these can be associated high complication rates significant risk neurological injury. Preoperative is one modality to obtain partial prior definitive fusion. Low numbers...
Study Design. Prospective multicenter study of adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Objective. To clarify the effect ASD surgery on each health-related quality life (HRQOL) subclass/domain. Summary Background Data. For patients with ASD, offers superior radiological and HRQOL outcomes compared nonoperative care. may, however, be affected by surgical advantages related to corrective effects, yielding adequate spinopelvic alignment stability or disadvantages because long segment fusion....
OBJECTIVE Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery has a high rate of major complications (MCs). Public information about adverse outcomes is currently limited to registry average estimates. The object this study was assess the incidence events after ASD surgery, and develop validate prognostic tool for time-to-event risk MC, hospital readmission (RA), unplanned reoperation (RO). METHODS Two models per outcome, created with random survival forest algorithm, were trained in an 80% split tested...
