Neurosurgery
-
Delayed cerebral vasospasm is a feared complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). ⋯ Early elevation in SII index can independently predict the development of delayed cerebral vasospasm in aneurysmal SAH.
-
Few studies have assessed the impact of overlapping surgery during different timepoints of neurosurgical procedures. ⋯ Increased duration of overlap before the critical step of surgery does not predict adverse short-term outcomes after single-level, posterior-only lumbar fusion.

Lateral (ie, coronal) vertebral listhesis may contribute to disability in adult scoliosis patients. ⋯ Lateral thoracolumbar listhesis is associated with worse baseline disability among adult scoliosis patients. Resolution of severe lateral listhesis following deformity correction was independently associated with increased likelihood of reaching MCID in ODI at 2-yr follow-up.
