Article Synopsis
- - The study explored how well spine surgeons can predict survival for patients with spinal metastases and if these predictions affect their treatment choices.
- - 60 spine surgeons provided survival estimates and treatment recommendations based on 12 patient cases, revealing significant differences in their estimates and a tendency to overestimate survival.
- - The findings suggest that using prognostic models could help improve the accuracy of survival predictions and inform better treatment decisions for these patients.
