Randomized Controlled Trial
Early Occupational Intervention for People with low back pain in Physically Demanding jobs: 1-year Follow-up Results of the Randomized Controlled GOBACK Trial.
Randomized controlled trial with 1-year follow up. ⋯ The results suggest that a thorough clinical consultation, with focus on explaining the cause of pain and instructions to stay active, can promote long-lasting physical and mental health in individuals with LBP. Therefore, additional occupational interventions could focus on altering occupational obstacles on a structural level.Level of Evidence: 2.

A retrospective study. ⋯ One-level PSO might be appropriate for selected severe AS-related kyphosis patients with GK <94°, SVA <18.0 cm, and LL <18°. This finding might be beneficial for surgical decision-making in performing one-level PSO, a relatively less risky procedure, to reconstruct the ideal sagittal alignment in AS patients with severe thoracolumbar kyphosis.Level of Evidence: 2.

Retrospective longitudinal cohort study. ⋯ Patients with poor preoperative health-related quality of life were more likely to achieve improvement in SRS-22r parameters after extensive corrective fusion surgery for ASD. Achieving postoperative sagittal alignment increased the likelihood of achieving MCID for the SRS-22r Subtotal domain.Level of Evidence: 3.

Retrospective case-control radiographic study. ⋯ Directionality of fractional curve relative to C7 PL was associated with postoperative coronal imbalance in DLS patients. In addition to type C, consistency pattern might be an independent risk factor for postoperative coronal imbalance.Level of Evidence: 3.
