  The Impact of Upper Instrumented Vertebra Orientation on Proximal Junctional Kyphosis-A Novel and Fixed Parameter, Fused Spinopelvic Angle.

  A retrospective study. ⋯ The FSPA is a fixed parameter which is not dependent on position. A reduction of the FSPA increases the risk for PJK. The FSPA can be adjusted through PI-LL and LDI. Thus, surgeons should increase the FSPA by adjusting the PI-LL and LDI during ASD surgery to prevent PJK.

  Multicenter Study

  Comparison of Deep Learning and Classical Machine Learning Algorithms to Predict Post-operative Outcomes for Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion Procedures with State-of-the-art Performance.

  Retrospective cohort. ⋯ The deep neural network may be used to predict complications for clinical applications after multicenter validation. The results suggest limited added knowledge exists in interactions between the input variables used for this task. Future work should identify novel variables to increase predictive power.
