| Popis: | STUDY DESIGN.: International web-based survey OBJECTIVE.: To identify clinical and radiological parameters that spine surgeons consider most relevant when evaluating clinical and functional outcomes of subaxial cervical spine trauma patients. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA.: While an outcome instrument that reflects the patients’ perspective is imperative, there is also a need for a surgeon reported outcome measure (SROM) to reflect the clinicians’ perspective adequately. METHODS.: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among a selected number of spine surgeons from all five AOSpine International world regions. They were asked to indicate the relevance of a compilation of 21 parameters, both for the short term (3 months - 2 years) and long term (≥2 years), on a five-point scale. The responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency analysis and Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS.: Of the 279 AOSpine International and International Spinal Cord Society members who received the survey, 108 (38.7%) participated in the study. Ten parameters were identified as relevant both for short term and long term by at least 70% of the participants. Neurological status, implant failure within 3 months, and patient satisfaction were most relevant. Bony fusion was the only parameter for the long term, while 5 parameters were identified for the short term. The remaining 6 parameters were not deemed relevant. Minor differences were observed when analyzing the responses according to each world region, or spine surgeons’ degree of experience. CONCLUSIONS.: The perspective of an international sample of highly experienced spine surgeons was explored on the most relevant parameters to evaluate and predict outcomes of subaxial cervical spine trauma patients. These results form the basis for the development of a disease-specific SROM, which will be a helpful tool in research and clinical practice.Level of Evidence: 4 |
