A systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ Level II.
-
A retrospective chart review was conducted at a single institution. ⋯ The results of this study found that CDA was effective for the treatment of ASD following ACDF. CDA appears to be a viable treatment option for ASD after ACDF in appropriately selected patients.

Unblinded single-arm prospective clinical trial. ⋯ Level III.
-
Retrospective controlled cohort. ⋯ In postoperative PSF for patients with AIS receiving LB through ESPB, those who did not receive a PCA had lower opioid consumption without worse pain scores or mobility and had a lower LOS. Adding LB through ESPB to postoperative pain regimens effectively replaces a PCA by providing the same pain control and reducing overall opioid consumption and LOS.

Observational Study
Pathogenic Detection by Metagenomic next-generation Sequencing in Spinal Infections.
A retrospective, observational study. ⋯ The mNGS test exhibits rapidity, efficiency, and accuracy, rendering it of immense diagnostic and therapeutic value in the realm of spinal infection diseases.
