A Shorter Surgical Interval May be Associated with Improved Patient-reported Outcomes in Hip-spine Syndrome.

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective Cohort Study. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to: (1) identify demographic differences based on the interval between surgeries; (2) compare differences in perioperative outcomes; (3) determine whether the interval between hip/spine surgery influences patient-reported outcomes (PROMs). SUMMARY...

The association between direct admission to level I trauma centers and lower in-hospital mortality in operative spine trauma.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate whether trauma center level is associated with in-hospital mortality among patients undergoing operative management for spine trauma and to determine whether this relationship differs according to triage pathway. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed using...

Predictors of surgical site infection after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in a national administrative database.

Surgical Risk and Patient-Reported Outcomes in 3- and 4-Level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Comparative Study.

INTRODUCTION The existing literature on anterior cervical diskectomy and fusion (ACDF) predominantly focuses on 1- and 2-level procedures, leaving limited data comparing outcomes of 3- versus 4-level standalone ACDFs. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PR...

Assessing the predictive utility of preoperative canal diameter, foraminal stenosis, and cord-lamina angle for postoperative C5 palsy: a matched cohort validation study.

In a large, well-matched validation cohort, the preoperative MRI parameters of the APD, FD, and CLA were not predictive of postoperative C5 palsy, both individually and as a three-variable model.
