<h3>Background:</h3> Accurate identification of maternal deaths is paramount for audit and policy purposes. Our aim was to determine the accuracy completeness data on in hospital those recorded a death certificate, level agreement between 2 sources. <h3>Methods:</h3> We conducted retrospective population-based study using Ontario, Canada, from Apr. 1, 2002, Dec. 31, 2015. used Canadian Institute Health Information (CIHI) databases identify during inpatient, emergency department same-day...
Cross-sectional cohort study of chronic low back pain (CLBP) patients and matched controls.To explore the interplay between vertebral endplate damage adjacent paraspinal muscle (PSM) quality, to test their association in a with CLBP controls.Nonspecific is challenging diagnose, part, due uncertainty regarding source pain. Delineating interactions among potential mechanisms may enhance diagnosis treatment customization.We collected advanced MRI imaging on 52 adult subjects, including 38 14...
Introduction: Unfulfilled expectations, assessed postoperatively, have been consistently associated with dissatisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, identifying these expectations preoperatively has a challenge. We aimed at specific that are most likely to affect postoperative dissatisfaction. Methods: included all patients in our institutional registry body mass index of <40 kg/m 2 who underwent primary unilateral TKA and had minimum 2-year follow-up. Preoperatively,...
Study Design. Retrospective case control study. Objective. To develop predictive models for postoperative outcomes after long segment lumbar posterior spine fusion (LSLPSF). Summary of Background Data. Surgery adult spinal deformity is effective treating spine-related disability; however, it has high complication and readmission rates. Methods. Patients who underwent LSLPSF (three or more levels) were identified in State Inpatient Database. Data was queried discharge-to-facility (DTF),...
Despite an increased understanding of the impact socioeconomic status on neurosurgical outcomes, neighborhood-level social determinants lumbar spine surgery patient-reported outcomes remains unknown.To evaluate geographic deprivation physical and mental health patients.A single-center retrospective cohort study analyzing patients undergoing for degenerative disease from 2015 to 2018 was performed. Surgeries were categorized as decompression only or with fusion. The area index used define...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> Robotic-guided navigation systems for pedicle screw placement has gained recent interest to ensure accuracy and safety diminish radiation exposure. There have been no published studies using a new combined robotics system (Globus ExcelsiusGPS system). The purpose of this study was demonstrate with system. <h3>Methods:</h3> This is case series consecutive patients at single institution from February 1, 2018, August 31, 2018. All who had planned thoracic...
Study Design: Retrospective chart review. Objective: The goal of this study is to examine the relationship between global alignment and proportion (GAP) score postoperative orthoses with likelihood developing proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK). Methods: Patients who underwent thoracic or lumbar fusions ≥4 levels for adult spinal deformity (ASD) 1-year post-operative x-rays were included. Chart review was conducted determine spinopelvic parameters, PJK, reoperation. Results: A total 81...
Study Design. A retrospective study at a single academic institution. Objective. The purpose of this is to utilize machine learning predict hospital length stay (LOS) and discharge disposition following adult elective spine surgery, compare performance metrics models the American College Surgeon’s National Surgical Quality Improvement Program’s (ACS NSQIP) prediction calculator. Summary Background Data. total 3678 patients undergoing surgery between 2014 2019, acquired from electronic health...
Local and regional radiographic outcomes following minimally invasive (MI) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) versus open TLIF remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive assessment local parameters MI-TLIF TLIF. authors hypothesized that provides greater segmental global lordosis correction than MI-TLIF.
Rapid growth in smartphone use has expanded opportunities to mobile health (mHealth) technology collect real-time patient-reported and objective biometric data. These data may have important implication for personalized treatments of degenerative spine disease. However, no large-scale study examined the feasibility acceptability these methods surgery patients.To evaluate a multimodal preoperative mHealth assessment patients with disease.Adults undergoing elective were provided Fitbit...
Descriptive histologic and magnetic resonance imaging study of human cadaveric spines.To identify characterize common endplate pathologies to form a foundation for an etiology-based classification system.Irregularities at the spinal disc-vertebra interface are associated with back pain intervertebral disc herniation injuries. However, there is currently lack consensus regarding terminology classification. This limits potential advancing understanding mechanisms, prohibits meaningful...
This was a retrospective cohort study of national dataset.The purpose this to consider the influence frailty on development hospital-acquired conditions (HACs) in adult spinal deformity (ASD).HACs frequently include reasonably preventable complications. Eleven events are identified as HACs by Affordable Care Act. In surgical ASD population, factors leading important identify optimize health care.Patients 18 years and older undergoing corrective surgery for American College Surgeons' National...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Study Design:</h3> Retrospective cohort study. <h3>Objective:</h3> To compare outcomes and complications of stand-alone minimally invasive lateral interbody fusion (LIF) vs revision posterior surgery for the treatment lumbar adjacent segment disease. <h3>Methods:</h3> Adults who underwent LIF or transforaminal (TLIF) disease were compared. Exclusion criteria: >grade 1 spondylolisthesis, approach after LIF, L5/S1 surgery. Patient demographics, estimated blood loss,...
Study Design. Retrospective case–control study. Objective. The aim of this study was to determine the influence obesity on risk factors for adverse outcome after lumbar spine fusion (LSF). Summary Background Data. Obesity is factor complications LSF and poses unique challenges regarding optimization care. Nonetheless, patient population not well-studied. Methods. Adult patients undergoing were identified State Inpatient Database. Patients as obese or nonobese using ICD-9 codes. Outcome...
