-
A retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Patients with history of depression or anxiety demonstrate less improvement in patient-reported outcomes and a higher revision rate after posterior cervical fusion, highlighting the importance of mental health on clinical outcomes after spine surgery.
-
A prospective cohort study. ⋯ As hypothesized, for convergent validity the PROMIS-PF4 has stronger correlation with the RMDQ than the NPRS and good discriminative validity for identifying patients with pain-related disability and at high risk of persisting disability but not for identifying pain intensity or low-risk of persisting disability. Consequently, the PROMIS-PF4 has adequate construct validity for measuring pain-related disability in an LBP population in chiropractic care.
-
A retrospective review. ⋯ Choosing minimally rotated (Gd 0/1) TV on prone XR saves levels without sacrificing radiographic outcomes.
-
Retrospective cross-sectional study. ⋯ Level III.
