Multicenter Study Observational Study
Pain During Sex Before and After Decompressive Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Multicenter Observational Study.
Observational multicenter study. ⋯ This study clearly demonstrates that a large proportion of patients undergoing surgery for LSS experienced an improvement in pain during sexual activity at 1 year.Level of Evidence: 2.

Retrospective analysis. ⋯ Complication rates, including incidental durotomy, were similar between primary and revision PCDF cohorts. Although prior surgery status did not predict complication risk, comorbidity burden did. Nevertheless, patients undergoing revision procedures had decreased risk of required ICU stay but greater risk of 30-day ED admission and higher direct hospitalization and surgical costs.Level of Evidence: 3.

Methodological. ⋯ It was concluded that the SRS-30 Turkish questionnaire was valid and reliable in evaluating the treatment of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. Considering the studies related to SRS scales in the literature, especially those applied Rasch analysis, it is seen that the reply categories of the items should be reviewed.Level of Evidence: 2.

Retrospective cohort study of the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD). ⋯ Our analysis uses the NRD to thoroughly characterize readmission in the general ACDF population. Readmissions are often delayed (after 30 days), strongly associated with insurance status, and many result in reoperation. Our results are crucial for risk-stratifying future ACDF patients and developing interventions to reduce readmission.Level of Evidence: 3.
