A retrospective, observational cohort study.In patients undergoing lumbar spine arthrodesis, we sought to establish perioperative trends in chronic versus naive opioid users (OUs) and identify modifiable risk factors associated with prolonged consumption.The morbidity excessive use for conditions continues climb has been identified as a national epidemic. Limiting after procedures such fusion remains health strategy.A commercial claims dataset (2007-2015) was queried all anterior interbody...
Bibliometrics is defined as the study of statistical and mathematical methods used to quantitatively analyze scientific literature. The application bibliometrics in neurosurgery continues evolve.To calculate a number publication productivity measures for almost all neurosurgical residents departments within North America. These were correlated with survey results on educational environment residency programs.During May June 2017, data collected from departmental websites Scopus compose...
Introduction: Patients with chronic carotid occlusion (CCO) may present as either symptomatic or asymptomatic, significant differences in prognosis and treatment strategies between these groups. Anterograde collateral circulation, particularly through the Circle of Willis (CoW), is essential for sustaining adequate cerebral blood flow CCO patients. This study aimed to evaluate association pathways within CoW status patients CCO. Methods: retrospective cohort was conducted across two large...
Introduction: Following a large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (LVO-AIS), cerebral autoregulation is notably compromised, making blood flow maintenance and optimal pressure (BP) crucial to preserving the penumbral tissue until reperfusion. While intraprocedural BP drops high post mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are associated with unfavorable outcomes, data on pre-admission BP's impact infarct growth markedly scarce. Methods: This retrospective cohort study from two centers included...
OBJECTIVE Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of scoliosis. Limited literature exists defining risk factors associated with outcomes during initial hospitalization in these patients. In this study, authors investigated patient demographics, clinical and hospital characteristics impacting short-term outcomes, costs adolescent patients undergoing surgical deformity correction for Additionally, elucidate impact volume on METHODS Using National Inpatient Sample database...
Study Design. Retrospective, observational. Objective. The aim of this study was to define the impact preoperative chronic opioid therapy (COT) on outcomes following cervical spine fusions. Summary Background Data. Opioid is a commonly practiced method control acute postoperative pain. However, concerns exist relating use prescription opioids, including inherent risk abuse, tolerance, and inferior major surgery. Methods. A commercial dataset queried from 2007 2015 for patients undergoing...
Although numerous studies have evaluated the influence of advanced age on surgical outcomes following vestibular schwannoma (VS) resection, few if any large-scale investigations assessed comparative prognostic effects and frailty. As population continues to age, it is imperative further evaluate treatment management strategies for older patients.To conduct a population-based evaluation independent associations chronological frailty (physiological age) with VS resection.In this large-scale,...
OBJECT Because of the limited data available regarding associations between risk factors and effect hospital case volume on outcomes after resection intradural spine tumors, authors attempted to identify these by using a large population-based database. METHODS Using National Inpatient Sample database, performed retrospective cohort study that involved patients who underwent surgery for an spinal tumor 2002 2011. national estimates, they identified patient demographics, medical...
With limited data available on association of risk factors and effect hospital case volume outcomes following deep brain stimulation (DBS), the authors attempted to identify these associations using a large population-based database.The performed retrospective cohort study involving patients who underwent DBS for 3 primary movement disorders: Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia from 2002 2011 National (Nationwide) Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Using national estimates,...
