Quality and Quantity of Published Studies Evaluating Lumbar Fusion during the past 10 Years: A Systematic ReviewGlobal Spine Journal - Tập 5 Số 3 - Trang 207-218 - 2015
Robert A. Hart, Jeffrey T. Hermsmeyer, Rajiv K. Sethi, Daniel C. Norvell
Study Design Systematic review. Clinical Questions (1) Has the proportion and
number of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) as an indicator of quality of
evidence regarding lumbar fusion increased over the past 10 years? (2) Is there
a difference in the proportion of RCTs among the four primary fusion diagnoses
(degenerative disk disease, spondylolisthesis, deformity, and adjacent segment
disease)... hiện toàn bộ

Can a Successful Outcome After Surgery for Lumbar Disc Herniation Be Defined by the Oswestry Disability Index Raw Score?Global Spine Journal - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 47-54 - 2020
David A. T. Werner, Margreth Grotle, Sasha Gulati, Ivar Magne Austevoll, Mattis A. Madsbu, Greger Lønne, Tore K. Solberg
Study Design: Prospective multicenter cohort study. Objective: To investigate
(1) the discriminative ability and cutoff estimates for success 12 months after
surgery for lumbar disc herniation on the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) raw
score compared with a change and a percentage change score and (2) to what
extent these clinical outcomes depend on the baseline disability. Methods: A
total of 684... hiện toàn bộ
Change in Off-Label Use of Bone Morphogenetic Protein in Spine Surgery and Associations with Adverse OutcomeGlobal Spine Journal - Tập 6 Số 7 - Trang 650-659 - 2016

Administration issued a warning in 2008 against off-label bone morphogenetic
protein (BMP-2) use. We aimed to determine (off-label) BMP-2 use in two periods
and associations with complications. Methods We included 340,393 patients
undergoing spinal fusions from the Premier Perspective database (2006 to 2012).
BMP-2 use was d... hiện toàn bộ
