PROMIS PF in the Evaluation of Postoperative Outcomes in Workers' Compensation Patients Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.
This was a retrospective cohort study. ⋯ In our study, WC patients had worse baseline physical function as indicated by lower preoperative PROMIS PF scores and reported lower PROMIS PF scores postoperatively. However, there were no significant differences when comparing the postoperative change from baseline between the cohorts. Both cohorts experienced significant postoperative improvements from baseline. This study established that PROMIS PF is an effective tool to evaluate recovery of WC patients following ACDF.
