Article Synopsis
- The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has managed the Spinal Cord Injury and Disorder Registry (VHA SCIDR) since 1994, tracking cases of US Veterans with spinal cord injuries through various data acquisition methods.
- The objective was to consolidate and harmonize three decades of historical data into an automated system while detailing the population characteristics of the identified Veterans.
- From 1994 to 2022, the registry identified 52,407 Veterans with spinal cord injuries, predominantly male (96.95%) and mostly White (56.09%), with a significant portion being traumatic injuries (53.39%).
Article Synopsis
- - The study compared image-guided navigation and robot-assisted solutions for minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) in terms of precision, time taken, and subjective feedback.
- - Both methods showed similar precision when instrumenting 90 pedicles, although the robot was initially slower, with a decrease in time noted during later trials.
- - Despite no significant time advantage for the robot system, the findings suggest a learning curve that could improve efficiency, indicating a need for further clinical research.
Objective: To evaluate Veterans' engagement in spinal cord injury and disorder (SCI/D) specialty annual evaluations (AEs).
Design: Cross-sectional retrospective cohort study.
Setting: SCI/D System of Care, United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
