Este estudio ha sido identificado como potencialmente de alto impacto.
La métrica de alto impacto de OE, impulsada por la IA, estima la influencia que probablemente tendrá un artículo integrando señales tanto de la revista en la que se publica como del contenido científico del propio artículo.
Desarrollado mediante el procesamiento del lenguaje natural más avanzado, el modelo de Alto Impacto de OE predice con mayor precisión el futuro rendimiento de las citas de un estudio que el factor de impacto de la revista por sí solo.
Esto permite reconocer antes las investigaciones clínicamente significativas y ayuda a los lectores a centrarse en los artículos con más probabilidades de configurar la práctica futura.
OrthoEvidence Journal (OE Journal) - ACE Report
OE Journal. 2013;1(8):23 Spine Journal; 2010; 10; 1043-104893 patients, with mono or bi-level cervical disc symptomatic disease and upon failure of conservative treatment, were randomized to undergo total disc arthroplasty (TDA) or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Primary Outcome Measures were Visual Analogue Score (VAS), Neck Disability Index and Radiographic Assessment were made at different time points until 48 months. Both the ACDF and TDA procedures were found to be equivalent for rendering pain relief in both mono and bi level disc disease and had equivalent risks for inducing adjacent segment degeneration. Interestingly, it was observed that patients with concurrent degenerative disc disease of the lumbar spine had greater likelihood of developing adjacent segment degeneration.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Outcome Assessors: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

El Índice de Fragilidad es una herramienta que ayuda en la interpretación de hallazgos significativos, proporcionando una medida de fuerza para un resultado. El Índice de Fragilidad representa el número de eventos consecutivos que es necesario añadir a un resultado dicotómico para que el hallazgo deje de ser significativo. Un número pequeño representa un hallazgo más débil y un número grande un hallazgo más fuerte.
¿Por qué se necesitaba ahora este estudio?
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is an established treatment for the degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine; however, the development of implants and procedures to restore motion, segmental anatomy, and function shows success after further investigation. The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of adjacent segment disease in patients treated for degenerative disc disease with either total disc arthroplasty or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.
¿Cuál era la pregunta principal de la investigación?
Is there a difference in incidence of adjacent segment disease after patients with degenerative disc disease are treated with either total disc arthroplasty or anterior cervical discectomy and fusion?
- The success rates were similar in procedures, 71% in TDA and 73.5% in ACDF, and median symptom-free survival period was 39.79+/-1.9 months for ACDF and 38.09+/- 1.9 months for TDA patients. Smokers had a trend towards worse survival rates (p=0.17) for both procedures.
- VAS and NDI scale were similar between groups (p-value = 0.693)
- No statistical difference was noted between groups in terms of development of adjacent lumbar disease (p-value = 0.885)
- Presence of documented lumbar disease was a statistically significant risk factor for development of adjacent lumbar disease (p-value = 0.016)
¿Qué es lo que más debo recordar?
Total disc arthroplasty and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion have the same clinical outcomes. However, lumbar disease increases the risk of adjacent cervical degenerative disc disease.
¿Cómo afectará esto al cuidado de mis pacientes?
This study suggests that both techniques are equivalent in treating degenerative disc disease and do not increase risk of adjacent lumbar disease compared to one another. The study also notes that lumbar disease is a significant risk factor for development of adjacent cervical degenerative disc disease. Therefore, it is recommended that physicians consider other factors before considering which treatment is most appropriate for patients.
