Dataset Information

Correlation Between the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) and Patient Reported Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

International multicenter prospective observational cohort study on patients undergoing radiation +/- surgical intervention for the treatment of symptomatic spinal metastases.

Objectives

To investigate the association between the total Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS), individual SINS components and PROs.

Methods

Data regarding patient demographics, diagnostics, treatment, and PROs (SF-36, SOSGOQ, EQ-5D) was collected at baseline, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks post-treatment. The SINS was assessed using routine diagnostic imaging. The association between SINS, PRO at baseline and change in PROs was examined with the Spearmans rank test.
