This was a retrospective multicenter study. ⋯ Level 3.
-
A retrospective study at a single academic institution. ⋯ The predictive models developed in this study can enable accurate preoperative estimation of LOS and risk of rehabilitation discharge for adult patients undergoing elective spine surgery. The demonstrated models exhibited better performance than NSQIP for prediction of LOS and equivalent performance to NSQIP for prediction of discharge location.
-
A prospective study. ⋯ The SC-LSIQ features good internal consistency, reliability, and validity for evaluating Chinese patients with LBP. Results suggest that the SC-LSIQ can be appropriately applied to patients with LBP in routine clinical practice.
-
Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Initial adherence to prescribed AIS brace wear was associated with future adherence, bracing success, and curve improvement. Early recognition of nonadherence may offer an opportunity for supportive intervention to improve brace wear behavior.
