Retrospective cohort.To investigate and establish minimum clinically important differences (MCID) for Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) among patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF).Spine surgery is linked to postoperative improvements in anxiety, depression, mental health. These have been documented using patient-reported outcome measures such as PHQ-9. Few studies evaluated the clinical significance of PHQ-9 spine surgery.Patients who...
Study Design. Retrospective cohort. Objective. We evaluate the correlation of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System for physical function (PROMIS-PF) with legacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF) up to 2 years postoperatively. Summary Background Data. PROMIS-PF has not been validated past 6 months following MIS TLIF. Methods. A surgical registry was retrospectively reviewed...
<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> The transition of minimally invasive (MIS) spine surgery from the inpatient to outpatient setting has been aided by advances in multimodal analgesic (MMA) protocols. This clinical case series patients demonstrates feasibility ambulatory MIS transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and lateral (LLIF) procedures while using an enhanced MMA protocol. <h3>Methods:</h3> Consecutive TLIF or LLIF with percutaneous pedicle screw fixation direct...
Sixty-nine patients with traumatic spinal cord injuries were evaluated for changes in their functional neurological status at discharge from the hospital, and 1 year, 3 years, 5+ years following injury. The examinations used to classify patients' injury according Frankel scale. This analysis revealed that majority of improvement function occurred within 1st year injury; however, continued many years. Follow-up an average postinjury 23.3% improve, whereas 7.1% had deteriorated compared year....
This is a retrospective study.The objective of this study was to determine if there an association between preoperative depression, as quantified by Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and postoperative improvement in pain disability after anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF).Few studies have depression symptoms the period using PHQ-9 tracked patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following ACDF.Patients undergoing ACDF were retrospectively reviewed stratified their score. PROs,...
Purpose To assess the patient-dependent accuracy of atlas-based attenuation correction (ATAC) for brain positron emission tomography (PET) in an integrated time-of-flight (TOF) PET/magnetic resonance (MR) imaging system. Materials and Methods Thirty recruited patients provided informed consent this institutional review board–approved study. All underwent whole-body fluorodeoxyglucose PET/computed (CT) followed by TOF PET/MR imaging. With use PET data, images were reconstructed with four...

Objective: The objective of this study to determine the incidence and risk factors for postoperative complications following minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS TLIF). Summary Background Data: identification independent that predispose patients MIS TLIF may allow improved outcomes optimization modifiable conditions before surgical intervention. Materials Methods: Patients undergoing single-level were retrospectively...
Objective Our study aims to evaluate the correlation of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function (PROMIS PF) with legacy patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) among patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Methods A prospectively maintained database was retrospectively reviewed for ACDF surgeries performed between May 2015 September 2017. Inclusion criteria were primary elective, single- or multilevel ACDFs degenerative spinal...
<h3>SUMMARY:</h3> Our aim was to prospectively evaluate the relationship between low back pain–related disability and quantitative measures from [<sup>18</sup>F]-sodium fluoride ([<sup>18</sup>F]-NaF) MR imaging. Six patients with facetogenic pain underwent dynamic [<sup>18</sup>F]-NaF PET/MR PET metrics were correlated clinical imaging grading of lumbar facet arthropathy. A significant positive correlation observed maximum joint uptake rate (<i>P</i> < .05). These data suggest that may...
Study Design. Retrospective. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) among patients undergoing minimally invasive (MIS) lumbar interbody fusion. Summary Background Data. Few studies have evaluated utility and concurrent PHQ-9 survey in spinal procedures. Methods. Patients a one- or two-level MIS fusion were retrospectively reviewed. Patient-reported outcome surveys completed preoperatively at 6-week, 12-week, 6-month, 1-year...
Study Design: This was a prospective study. Objective: To determine patient awareness of surgeon-industry relationships, how these relationships affect perceptions surgeons, and which cause the greatest concern to patients. Summary Background Data: The prevalence orthopedic led establishment national database physician-industry interaction [Open Payments Database (OPD)] as part Physician Sunshine Act (PPSA). Materials Methods: A 10-item questionnaire administered patients before their first...
The number of citations a publication receives has been regarded as one measure its importance and clinical impact. However, studies have yet to investigate which characteristics are predictors citation rates within the spine subspecialty literature. To explore this topic, all articles published in 2010 Spine from 2011 Journal Neurosurgery: were reviewed. Web Science search engine was used determine times each article cited 5 years following publication. Sample collected compared with χ 2...
Assess preoperative Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function (PF) scores and differences between postoperative PROMIS-PF for patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF).After Institutional Review Board approval, a prospectively maintained surgical registry was retrospectively reviewed elective spine surgeries of nontraumatic, degenerative pathology 2015-2018. Inclusion criteria were primary or revision, single-level ACDF...
This was a retrospective cohort study.The purpose of this study is to examine whether the time duration from symptom onset operative treatment associated with postoperative clinical improvement after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).There paucity literature regarding influence preoperative on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following ACDF.Patients who underwent primary, single-level ACDF were retrospectively reviewed stratified according (<12 ≥12 mo). Demographic perioperative...
