Study Design. Retrospective review of prospective data.
Objective. Determine whether patient reported outcome (PRO) data collected prior to lumbar discectomy predicts achievement of a minimal important difference (MID) after surgery. Compare ability of PRO and clinical information to predict achievement of MID in short term follow-up after discectomy.
Summary of Background Data. We investigated the ability of patient reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) and clinical factors at the preoperative time point to determine patients achieving MID after surgery.
Methods. PROMIS physical function (PF), pain interference (PI), and depression (D) scores were assessed at evaluation and follow-up for consecutive visits …
