With the vast increase in spinal surgery research and accessibility, critical evaluation of studies is paramount. Historically, P values and confidence intervals have been the gold standard, but more recently, the inclusion of the Fragility Index has brought a more holistic approach. The Fragility Index aims to communicate the robustness of a trial and how tenuous statistical significance may be. It can be used in conjunction with more traditional methods for evaluating research.

: Dominant mutations in are known to cause vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (vEDS) by impairing extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis. This disruption leads to the fragility of soft connective tissues and a significantly increased risk of life-threatening arterial and organ ruptures. Currently, treatments for vEDS are primarily symptomatic, largely due to a limited understanding of its underlying pathobiology and molecular mechanisms.

Background: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) comprises a group of genetically and clinically heterogeneous diseases characterized by skin fragility and blistering. EB is incurable, and treatment consists of preventing blisters in addition to painful and time consuming skin care, often performed by the parents, in addition to monitoring other symptoms in cases of severe EB.
Results: The purpose of this study was to explore parental experiences of caring for a child with EB.
