Posted on: 06 November, 2017

Results from this study indicated patient satisfaction after lumbar spine surgery was predicted by preoperative diagnosis.

Patients completed the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for back pain and leg pain preoperatively and at 1 year after surgery. Investigators grouped patients according to their diagnosis and response to a question regarding satisfaction.
