Article Abstract

Study DesignRetrospective Cohort Study.ObjectivesTo develop and validate a multivariable predictive model for length of hospital stay (LOS) following spine surgery, incorporating sociodemographic characteristics, medical data, and self-reported patient outcomes.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 4583 patients from a spine surgery registry was conduct-ed. Predictors included age, sex, BMI, ASA score, surgical complexity, and patient-reported outcomes. Binary logistic regression was used to model LOS (<3 days vs ≥3 days).ResultsLower age, active work status, lower ASA scores, and specific surgical procedures were associated with shorter LOS. The model demonstrated good accuracy and dis-criminative ability.ConclusionsSociodemographic, medical, and patient-reported outcomes are valuable predictors of LOS. These findings can help improve preoperative planning and resource allocation in spine surgery.

Background: The use of artificial intelligence platforms by medical residents as an educational resource is increasing. Within orthopaedic surgery, older Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT) models performed worse than resident physicians on practice examinations and rarely answered questions with images correctly. The newer ChatGPT-4o was designed to improve these deficiencies but has not been evaluated.

Purpose: Isolated spinal aneurysms (iSAs) are rare, with an uncertain natural history and no established treatment guidelines. Multiple iSAs are even more uncommon, complicating treatment decisions.

Methods: This study reports a case of a ruptured radiculo-pial artery aneurysm in a patient with multiple iSAs, treated with surgical excision, assisted by intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM).

BACKGROUND Degenerative cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is an age-related degenerative condition of the vertebral bodies, discs, and ligaments that can cause pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion is a widely used surgical approach for treating CSM, aiming to decompress the spinal cord, restore vertebral alignment, and improve fusion rates, thus providing relief to affected patients. This study was a neurological and biomechanical evaluation of 72 patients with degenerative CSM at 3, 6, and 12 months following anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion.

The global surge in the population of people 60 years and older, including that in China, challenges healthcare systems with rising age-related diseases. To address this demographic change, the Aging Biomarker Consortium (ABC) has launched the X-Age Project to develop a comprehensive aging evaluation system tailored to the Chinese population. Our goal is to identify robust biomarkers and construct composite aging clocks that capture biological age, defined as an individual's physiological and molecular state, across diverse Chinese cohorts.
