The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of baseline frailty status (as measured by modified index-5 [mFI-5]) versus age on postoperative outcomes patients undergoing surgery for spinal tumors using data from a large national registry.The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was used collect tumor resection patients' 2015 2019 (n = 4,662). Univariate and multivariate analyses mFI-5 were performed following outcomes: 30-day mortality, major complications, unplanned...
This study investigated the association between preoperative body mass index and surgical outcomes, reoperation rate, one-year patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following 1-3 level revision lumbar fusion. Patients who underwent a fusion from 2011-2021 were included. grouped into BMI classes: Normal (18.5-24.99), Overweight (25.0-29.99), Obese Class 1 (30.0-34.99), 2+ (≥35.0). Demographics, characteristics, reoperations, 90-day readmissions, PROMs compared cohorts. included Short...
This study compared postoperative opioid use for patients undergoing short segment primary versus revision lumbar fusion. Patients who underwent or 1-2 level fusion (2017-2021) were included in this study. The state PDMP was reviewed all to quantify preoperative and opioid, benzodiazepine, muscle relaxant, gabapentin use. A 1:1 propensity match performed with patients. Revision sub-stratified into those without persistent identify demographic differences between these patient cohorts. final...
To combat antimicrobial resistance, the World Health Organization (WHO) urged healthcare organizations in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to implement core elements of stewardship (AMS) programs. In response, Jordan took action developed a national resistance plan (NAP) 2017 commenced AMS program all facilities. It is paramount evaluate efforts programs understand challenges implementing sustainable effective program, Low-Middle Income Country (LMIC) contexts. Therefore, aim this...
Study Design. Retrospective Cohort. Objective. (1) To determine if vertebral HU values obtained from preoperative CT predict postoperative outcomes following 1-3 level lumbar fusion and (2) to investigate whether decreased BMD determined by cage subsidence screw loosening. Summary of Background Data. In light suboptimal screening for osteoporosis, computerized tomography(CT) Hounsfield Units(HU), have been investigated as a surrogate bone mineral density(BMD). Methods. this retrospective...
Although many studies discussed evidence-based practice among general nurses, few were found by the researchers intensive care unit nurses. Also, no study has been conducted to investigate predictors of nurses in Jordan. Therefore, this aims identify A descriptive cross-sectional design was used conveniently recruit 132 participants. Self-reported questionnaires utilized including Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire and barrier scale. Participants' rate 60% (M = 4.2/7), which significantly...

As the population of elderly patients continues to rise, number these individuals presenting with thoracolumbar trauma is expected increase. To investigate fusion outcomes for vertebral fractures as stratified by decade. Secondarily, we examined variability cost across age groups identifying drivers care. We queried United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample(NIS) adult undergoing spinal between 2012 and 2017. Patients were decade 60–69(sexagenarians), 70–79(septuagenarians)...
Study Design. Retrospective Cohort Objective. To evaluate the impact of having a history Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) on postoperative outcomes. Summary Background Data. With an aging population rates obesity increasing, comorbidities that influence patient safety are increasingly common. One frequently overlooked comorbidity is OSA which affects nearly 24% population. Despite its prevalence, outcomes following ACDF...
Multinodular and vacuolating neuronal tumor (MVNT) is a rare benign brain lesion, commonly found in middle-aged adults. The patients experience range of symptoms from being asymptomatic to epileptic seizures, with headache the most common symptom. Here we report case an incidental diagnosis MVNT young female. A 25-year-old female past medical history occasional headaches without seizures or any focal neurological deficit presented after motor vehicle rollover. MRI revealed finding...
