Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (14)

  • Difference in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Domain-Pain Interference

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op scores. Scores range from 0-100. A higher number indicates more Pain Interference.

    10 years

  • Difference in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Domain-Pain Intensity

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op scores. Scores range from 0-100. A higher number indicates more Pain Intensity.

    10 years

  • Difference in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Domain-Depression

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op scores. Scores range from 0-100. A higher number indicates more Depression.

    10 years

  • Difference in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Domain-Anxiety

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op scores. Scores range from 0-100. A higher number indicates more Anxiety.

    10 years

  • Difference in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Domain-Physical Function Scores

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op scores. Scores range from 0-100. A higher number indicates less Physical Function.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Cobb Angles

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of Cobb Angles using available spinal x-rays for patients whose Cobb Angle was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Fractional Curve Cobb Angles

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of Fractional Curve Cobb Angles using available spinal x-rays for patients whose Fractional Curve Cobb Angle was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-C7 Sagittal Vertical Alignment (SVA)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of C7 SVA using available spinal x-rays for patients whose C7 SVA was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Coronal Sagittal Vertical Alignment (SVA)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of Coronal SVA using available spinal x-rays for patients whose Coronal SVA was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Pelvic Incidence (PI)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of PI using available spinal x-rays for patients whose PI was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Pelvic Tilt (PT)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of spinal x-rays for patients whose PT was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-Lumbar Lordosis (LL)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of spinal x-rays for patients whose LL was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Difference in Radiographic Measurements-T1 Pelvic Angle (TPA)

    Assess the difference between pre-op and post-op measurements of spinal x-rays, for patients whose TPA was to be changed as part of their surgical plan.

    10 years

  • Revision Incidence

    Determine the incidence of spine surgery revisions after the initial surgery.
