Long term clinical outcomes of minimally invasive transforaminal interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) for lumbar spondylolisthesis in a geriatric (>65 years) population: a systematic review... by Talgat Kerimbayev, Yerzhan Kuanyshbekov, Serik Akshulakov, Indira Karibayeva

“…The findings suggest that MIS-TLIF is associated with significant reductions in back and leg pain, as well as improvements in disability scores over 12 months post-operatively. However, these improvements in pain and functional disability decline at 24 months postoperatively, which could be explained by the physiological nature of degenerative changes in the geriatric population.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD42024538220, PROSPERO (CRD42024538220).…”

Comparison of preference-based health-related quality of life measures for chronic neck pain: a pooled analysis of data from three RCTs by Eun-Jung Kim, In-Hyuk Ha, Yoon Jae Lee, Dongwoo Nam, Yeon Cheol Park, Seong Min Lee, Soo-Jin Kim

“…Distribution analysis further indicated that EQ-5D-5L and SF-6Dv1 were not fully interchangeable due to variations in domain-level scoring patterns and ceiling effects observed in EQ-5D-5L.Conclusions EQ-5D-5L showed stronger negative correlations with both pain and functional outcomes compared with SF-6Dv1, suggesting that it may better capture the functional aspects of chronic neck pain, particularly in moderate-to-severe conditions. …”
