To develop and validate a machine-learning (ML) model that pre-operatively predicts cerebrospinal-fluid leakage (CSFL) after posterior decompression for thoracic ossification of the ligamentum flavum (TOLF), and to elucidate the key risk factors driv...

BACKGROUND: Adequate preoperative identification of patients at risk of significant healthcare utilization after surgery could help guide preoperative decision-making as well as postoperative patient management. While several studies have proposed me...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: A machine learning (ML) model was recently developed to predict massive intraoperative blood loss (>2,500 mL) during posterior decompressive surgery for spinal metastasis that performed well on external validation within the same ...
OBJECTIVE: To develop and compare machine-learning algorithms to predict recovery of ambulation after decompressive surgery for acute intervertebral disc extrusion (IVDE).
PURPOSE: Meralgia paraesthetica (MP) is a rare neuropathy of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN), characterized by thigh pain, paraesthesia, or sensory loss. When conservative treatments fail, surgical interventions such as neurolysis or neure...
AIM: Prospective outcome prediction plays a crucial role in guiding preoperative decision-making in patients with Chiari malformation type I (CM-Ⅰ) with syringomyelia. Here, we aimed to develop a predictive model for postoperative outcomes in patient...

OBJECTIVE: Post-operative length of hospital stay (LOS) is a valuable measure for monitoring quality of care provision, patient recovery, and guiding hospital resource management. But the impact of patient ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation as mea...
OBJECTIVE: Chiari malformation type I (CM-I) is a congenital disorder occurring in 0.1% of the population. In symptomatic cases, surgery with posterior fossa decompression (PFD) is the treatment of choice. Surgery is, however, associated with peri- a...
BACKGROUND: Cervical spine procedures represent a major proportion of all spine surgery. Mitigating the revision rate following cervical procedures requires careful patient selection. While complication risk has successfully been predicted, revision ...
Ossification of the ligaments progresses slowly in the initial stages, and most patients are unaware of the disease until obvious myelopathy symptoms appear. Consequently, treatment and clinical outcomes are not satisfactory. This study is aimed at d...
