Defining Substantial Clinical Benefits of PROMIS Pain Interference and Physical Function in Patients Undergoing Lumbar and Thoracolumbar Spine Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Prospective cohort study.

Objective

This study aims to define Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB) thresholds for PROMIS physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI) in lumbar or thoracolumbar spine surgery population.

Summary of background data

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are widely used in spine surgery to assess treatment efficacy. SCB is a relatively new concept that represents a substantial improvement perceived by the patient.

Methods

This is a prospective study that included adults aged 21-85 years, undergoing lumbar/ thoracolumbar surgery for degenerative spine disease, and reporting at least 3/10 back or leg pain on a numeric rating scale. PROMs including Oswestry Disability Index, PROMIS PF, and PROMIS PI were collected p
