To evaluate outcomes for workers' compensation (WC) versus commercially insured (CI) patients undergoing lumbar decompression (LD) at an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing propensity score matched groups. Patients elective LD ASC with two-year follow-up were identified and grouped based on insurance type (WC or CI). Other demographic, diagnostic, patient-reported outcome (PRO) data obtained as well. PROs included Patient-Reported Outcome...
Retrospective Review.
To evaluate preoperative disability's influence on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following surgery for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DS).
Introduction: Patients with a prolonged preoperative symptom duration (PSD) in the setting of cervical disk herniation (DH) may suffer inferior outcomes after surgical intervention. Comparison between anterior diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) versus arthroplasty (CDA) this at-risk population has not yet been conducted. Methods: undergoing ACDF or CDA for DH PSD > 180 days were selected. Six-week (6W) final follow-up (FF) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) as well magnitude...
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To assess the impact of preoperative symptom duration (PSD) on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after minimally invasive (MIS) transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for degenerative spondylolisthesis (DSpond). Background: A prolonged symptoms may implicate inferior long-term outcomes postsurgery. Prior studies recipients are limited by inclusion heterogeneous populations. Methods: single-surgeon registry was...
Study Design: Retrospective review. Objective: To assess the impact of Body Mass Index (BMI) on patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after cervical disc replacement (CDR). Background: BMI may affect PROMs spine surgery. Methods: Primary CDR recipients for herniated disc(s) with <40 were retrospectively selected from a single-surgeon registry. Cohorts divided into non-obese (BMI <30) and obese ≥30). Intercohort in-hospital complication rates compared through independent samples t...
To evaluate the effect of Veterans RAND 12-item health survey mental composite score (VR-12 MCS) on postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after undergoing lateral lumbar interbody fusion.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Severe facet arthropathy is generally a contraindication to undergoing cervical disc replacement (CDR) due associated instability and potentially limited improvement in neck pain caused by arthropathy. This study evaluates the influence of on radiographic/early clinical outcomes after CDR. METHODS: One/two-level CDR patients from single surgeon's prospectively maintained database created 2 cohorts based arthropathy: grade 0-1 or 2-3 (milder/moderate arthropathy)....
Study Design: Retrospective review. Objective: To evaluate mental health influence on minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) patients. Summary of Background Data: Poor has been postulated to indicate inferior patient perceptions surgical outcomes in spine literature. Few studies have assessed as a dynamic metric throughout the perioperative period. Methods: A single-surgeon database was retrospectively searched for patients who underwent primary, elective...
