Review Meta Analysis
A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 3-dimensional Morphometric Parameters for Cerebral Aneurysms.
Imaging modalities with increased spatial resolution have allowed for more precise quantification of cerebral aneurysm shape in 3-dimensional (3D) space. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the correlation of individual 3D morphometric measures with cerebral aneurysm rupture status. ⋯ Based on the results of a meta-analysis containing 39 studies, the nonsphericity index, undulation index, elongation, flatness, and sphericity demonstrated the most consistent correlation with rupture status.

Review Meta Analysis
Risk factors of cage subsidence following oblique lumbar interbody fusion: a meta-analysis and systematic review.
The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the risk factors for cage subsidence (CS) after oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). ⋯ Older age, osteoporosis, endplate injury, and overdistraction of the intervertebral space may increase the risk of CS after OLIF. Although the incidence rate of CS is low, implementing effective preventions is a priority for clinicians based on these risk factors.

Clinical Considerations and Outcomes for Spine Surgery Patients with a History of Transplant: A Systematic Scoping Review.
The objective of this study was to investigate the perioperative management and outcomes of patients with a prior history of successful transplantation undergoing spine surgery. ⋯ This is the first systematic scoping review examining the population of transplant patients with subsequent unrelated spine surgery. There is significant heterogeneity in the outcomes of post-transplant spine surgery patients. Given the inherent complexity of managing this group and elevated mortality and complications compared to the general spine surgery population, further investigation into their clinical care is warranted.
