Abstract Background Recent technological advances have led to the development and implementation of machine learning (ML) in various disciplines, including neurosurgery. Our goal was conduct a comprehensive survey neurosurgeons assess acceptance attitudes toward ML neurosurgical practice identify factors associated with its use. Methods The online consisted nine or ten mandatory questions distributed February March 2019 through European Association Neurosurgical Societies (EANS) Congress...
Recurrent lumbar disk herniation (rLDH) following microdiscectomy is common. While several risk factors for primary LDH have been described, rLDH only sparsely investigated. We evaluate the effect of Body mass index (BMI) and smoking on incidence timing rLDH.From a prospective registry, we identified all patients undergoing tubular (tMD), with complete BMI data, minimum 12-month follow-up. defined as reherniation at same level side requiring surgery. Overweight was > 25, obesity 30....

Our aim was carry out a worldwide survey among neurosurgeons assess adoption attitude toward technology neurosurgical operating room identify factors associated with use technology.

The 5-repetition-sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test is an objective of functional impairment- commonly used in various diseases, including lumbar degenerative disc diseases. It to measure the severity disease and monitor recovery. We aimed evaluate reference values for test, as well factors predicting 5R-STS performance healthy adults.Healthy adults ( > 18 years age) were recruited, their time was measured. Their age, sex, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, education level, work...
OBJECTIVE The five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test provides a new dimension of clinical assessment by capturing objective functional impairment (OFI). Through the utilization data from two prospective studies, authors sought to evaluate concurrent validity proposed 5R-STS baseline severity stratification (BSS) for OFI with following levels based on time completion in seconds: none, ≤ 10.4; mild, 10.5–15.2; moderate, 15.3–22.0; and severe, > 22.0 seconds. METHODS Patients...
Abstract Objective There is variation in practice the treatment of older women with breast cancer. International guidelines highlight importance patient autonomy decision‐making. The aim this study to identify factors which influence decision‐making operable cancer, will enable us further understand how support these patients. Methods Systematic review accordance PRISMA was performed Medline, Web Science and SCOPUS were searched. Results search yielded 5840 results; 13 articles met inclusion...
Abstract Objectives The five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test was designed to capture objective functional impairment (OFI), and thus provides an adjunctive dimension in patient assessment. It is conceivable that there are different subsets of patients with OFI degenerative lumbar disease. We aim identify clusters objectively functionally impaired individuals based on 5R-STS unsupervised machine learning (ML). Methods Data from two prospective cohort studies surgery for disease times ≥...
Abstract Objective It is unknown whether presence of pre-operative objective functional impairment (OFI) can predict post-operative outcomes in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). We aimed to determine OFI measured by the five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) could at 12-months post-discectomy. Methods Adult LDH scheduled for surgery were prospectively recruited from a Dutch short-stay spinal clinic. The 5R-STS time and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) including...
The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has recently been validated as an objective measure of functional impairment in patients with lumbar degenerative disease (LDD). Knowledge factors influencing 5R-STS performance is useful to correct for confounders, create personalized adjusted times, and potentially identify prognostic subgroups. We evaluate predicting the LDD.
What is considered "abnormal" in clinical testing typically defined by simple thresholds derived from normative data. For instance, when using the five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test, upper limit of normal (ULN) a population spine-healthy volunteers (10.5 seconds) used to identify objective functional impairment (OFI), but this fails consider different properties individuals (e.g., taller and shorter, older younger). Therefore, authors developed personalized strategy quantify...
Abstract Objective: The five-repetition sit-to-stand test (5R-STS) has recently been validated as an objective measure of functional impairment in patients with lumbar degenerative disease (LDD). Knowledge factors influencing 5R-STS performance is useful to correct for confounders, create personalized adjusted times, and potentially identify prognostic subgroups. We evaluate predicting the LDD. Methods: Patients LDD requiring surgery were included. Each participant performed completed a...
