Popis: BACKGROUND: Patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH) may experience low back pain (LBP) and radiating pain (RP). Currently, there is no substantial clinical benefit (SCB) of assessing both LBP and RP due to LDH. OBJECTIVE: To determine enhanced SCB values by simultaneously assessing LBP and RP. METHODS: We retrospectively evaluated hospitalized LDH patients with concomitant LBP and RP between June 1, 2012, and May 31, 2013, and determined the numeric rating scale (NRS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores at admission and discharge. Furthermore, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was computed to assess diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS: SCB as per NRS for both LBP and RP was -2.50 in the 186 enrolled patients (AUC: 0.699 and 0.704, respectively). SCB as per ODI was -18.78 (AUC: 0.771). SCB for the mean of the two NRS scores for LBP and RP was -2.75 (AUC: 0.757). SCB for NRS score with a larger change in LBP and RP was -3.50 (AUC: 0.767). CONCLUSIONS: SCB may be determined by comprehensively considering LBP and RP and choosing the mean NRS or NRS score with a large change.
