- * Methods: Researchers developed 10 critical questions from frequently asked AIS inquiries and had the chatbots respond, then evaluated the accuracy, clarity, and empathy of the answers using a rating system by experienced spine surgeons, while also gathering opinions on AI in healthcare.
- * Results: ChatGPT 4.0 performed the best with 39% 'excellent' ratings, while overall, only 26% of responses were rated 'excellent.' Not
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to determine how rod characteristics, screw density, and cages affect mechanical complications in spinal surgeries compared to patient-related factors and alignment in adult spinal deformity cases.
- Data from 302 patients was analyzed using different statistical models to measure outcomes like pseudarthrosis and screw loosening and understand the impact of surgical techniques versus patient demographics.
- Key findings include that using four rods reduces the risk of pseudarthrosis, postoperative malalignment significantly increases the risk of complications, and high screw density leads to a lower risk of screw loosening, while age has a secondary impact on outcomes.
Introduction: Poor restoration of pelvic version after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is associated with an increased risk of mechanical complications and worse quality of life. We studied the factors linked to the improvement of postoperative pelvic version.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter ASD database.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the isolated influence of smoking in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery excluding known tobacco-related complications.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter ASD database. Patients operated on ASD with 2 year post-operative follow-up were included.
