PROMIS Physical Function Predicts Postoperative Pain and Disability Following Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.
This was a retrospective study. ⋯ In this investigation, patients with worse PROMIS PF scores reported greater pain and disability in the preoperative period and experienced less improvement in NDI, SF-12 PCS, and VAS back and leg following ACDF. PROMIS PF is an efficient and accurate instrument that can effectively evaluate strength, mobility, and coordination in the preoperative period and may be used to predict clinical outcomes following ACDF.
