Retrospective single-center comparative analysis. ⋯ The predictive factors for LONDs include age, etiological diagnosis and SCSCS. We developed a nomogram model to predict LONDs, which could be useful for patient counseling and facilitating treatment-related decision-making.
-
Retrospective study. ⋯ This study developed deep learning models for detecting fresh vertebral compression fractures, demonstrating high accuracy.
-
Retrospective review of cohort studies. ⋯ Pain domains, walking, standing, and personal care were the subsections with the highest predictability for patient satisfaction. These findings on the correlation between different ODI subscales and patient satisfaction are valuable for improving preoperative education, addressing disability, and ensuring postoperative satisfaction.

Heterogeneous data collection via a mix of prospective, retrospective, and ambispective methods. ⋯ Both sexes experienced a similar benefit from surgery in terms of relative improvement in scores for functional impairment and pain. Although female patients reported a higher degree of functional impairment and pain preoperatively, at 12 months only their average scores for functional impairment remained higher than those for their male counterparts, while absolute pain scores were similar for female and male patients.
