-
A systematic literature review and consensus using Delphi method. ⋯ There are multiple surgical options for basilar invagination depending on the existence of compression, AAD or irreducibility. The WFNS spine committee proposed consensus recommendations based on relevant literature published after 2011 to help surgeons standardize the level of care and improve outcomes following treatment across the globe.

Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ IV.
-
Systematic review and meta analysis. ⋯ Staged surgeries for ASD result in longer operative time, length of hospital stay and increased VTE risk but show similar efficacy in clinical and radiological outcomes compared to same-day surgeries. Careful patient selection is crucial to balance risks and optimize outcomes in ASD surgical planning.
-
Prospective cohort study. ⋯ Our study is the first to define SCB thresholds for PROMIS PF and PROMIS PI using both fixed and dynamic cutoffs based on preoperative disability in lumbar and thoracolumbar patients. These thresholds will help in patient counseling and outcome evaluation for spine surgery research.

A cross-sectional analysis of 10,000 cervical spine X-rays. ⋯ The strong correlation between C6S and C7S suggests that C6S can substitute for C7S when visibility is limited. Machine learning models further enhance prediction accuracy, demonstrating promising clinical potential.
