Prognostic factors of selective nerve root block under fluoroscopic guidance for the treatment of young patients with lumbar disc herniation and its role in preventing surgery by Leilei Gao, Hui Xiao, Rui Ma, Jun Liu, Xiaoxia Huang, Luyao Li, Kai Ye, Tao Liu, Yong Teng

“…Results Surgery was avoided in 95.522%, 86.567%, 78.358% and 64.925% of the patients at 2 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after SNRB treatment, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a disease course of ≥ 3 months (OR = 6.031, 95% CI: 2.592–14.035, P = 0.001) was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence of SNRB, and extreme lateral protrusion (OR = 0.273, 95% CI: 0.078–0.956, P = 0.042) and the HIZ sign (OR = 0.200, 95% CI: 0.057–0.702, P = 0.012) were protective factors against postoperative recurrence of SNRB. …”

Heterogeneous hematoma density predicts poor outcome in patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage after craniotomy by Li Luo, Yuanyuan Fu, Likun Wang, Jinhua Yang, Guofeng Wu, Siying Ren, Lian He, Shiqi Lin, Yuanyi Liu

“…In contrast, among the 182 patients with homogeneous density, 74 (40.7%) and 61 (33.5%) had poor outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that heterogeneous density independently predicts poor outcomes at 30 days (odds ratio 2.354; 95% confidence interval [1.446–3.833]; P<0.001) and 6 months (odds ratio 2.039; 95% confidence interval [1.268–3.279]; P=0.003) in patients with ICH after craniotomy but not rebleeding after craniotomy. …”
