Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the reliability of the AO Spine-DGOU Osteoporotic Fracture classification system using a cross-sectional survey with 23 trauma experts rating 33 cases at two different times.
- The calculated kappa statistics indicated moderate inter-rater agreement and substantial intra-rater reproducibility, suggesting that while raters differed slightly, individual consistency was high.
- The findings highlight the importance of training in improving the reliability of the classification system for identifying fracture patterns and guiding treatment.
Study Design: Cohort study.
Objective: To evaluate heterogeneity (fluctuation) in minimal important change (MIC) and patient-acceptable symptom state (PASS) for patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) through 10 years after lumbar fusion.
Summary Of Background Data: PROMs have become key determinants in spine surgery outcomes studies.
Study Design: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data.
Objective: To evaluate how preexisting adjacent segment degeneration status impacts revision risk for adjacent segment disease (ASD) after lumbar fusions.
Summary Of Background Data: ASD incurs late reoperations after lumbar fusion surgeries.

Purpose: To understand the systemic effect of major spine surgery, we investigated stress, anabolic and catabolic hormonal levels and their association with interleukin 6 (IL-6) in patients undergoing elective lumbar spine fusion surgery.
Methods: Blood samples were collected preoperatively, and at 1, 3, 42, 90 days postoperatively (POD) from 49 patients who underwent elective lumbar spine fusion surgery.
Results: Serum concentration of cortisol was below the preoperative value at POD 1 but did not differ from the baseline values thereafter.
Background Context: Lumbar spine fusion (LSF) surgery is a viable form of treatment for several spinal disorders. Treatment effects are preferably to be endorsed in real-life settings.
Methods: This prospective study evaluated the 10-year outcomes of LSF.
