Zusammenfassung Einleitung Die lumbale Spinalkanalstenose (SKS) hat sich in den letzten Jahren durch die gestiegene Lebenserwartung und die höheren Ansprüche an die Lebensqualität zu einer der häufigsten degenerativen Wirbelsäulenveränderungen entwickelt. Bei therapierefraktären Patienten der konservativen Therapie ist die mikrochirurgische Dekompression der Goldstandard in der operativen Behandlung der degenerativen lumbalen Spinalkanalstenose. Ziel der vorgelegten Studie ist die Bewertung der Lebensqualität nach mikrochirurgischer Dekompression bei lumbaler Spinalkanalstenose anhand der Instrumente des DWG-Registers (vorher Spine Tango). Methode 36 Patienten wurden in diese monozentrische prospektive Beobachtungsstudie von Januar 2013 bis Juni 2014 eingeschlossen. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte über das Spine Tango- bzw. DWG-Register. Es wurden der Core Outcome Measure Index (COMI), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) und der Lebensqualitätsfragebogen EuroQoL-5D erhoben. Dies erfolgte vor der Operation sowie 6 Wochen, 6 Monate und 12 Monate nach der Operation. Ergebnisse Im untersuchten Kollektiv fanden sich 13 weibliche und 23 männliche Patienten (36,1 vs. 63,9 %). Für 21 Patienten konnte ein vollständiges Follow-up über den 12-Monats-Zeitraum erhoben werden. Der COMI-Score besserte sich von 8,1 ± 1,5 präoperativ signifikant über das gesamte Follow-up (6 Wochen: 4,5 ± 3,1 (p < 0,001), 6 Monate: 4,8 ± 3,1, 12 Monate: 3,8 ± 3,2). Auch die Beeinträchtigung der Rückenfunktion gemessen im ODI-Score war gegenüber den präoperativen Werten (47,5 ± 17,3) nach 6 Wochen (29,1 ± 22,4; p < 0,005), 6 Monaten (30,0 ± 19,3) und 12 Monaten (23,8 ± 18,2) signifikant besser. Gleichermaßen verhielt es sich mit der Lebensqualität (präoperativ: 0,36 ± 0,38; 6 Wochen: 0,57 ± 0,34 (p < 0,019), 6 Monate: 0,62 ± 0,28, 12 Monate: 0,67 ± 0,31). Schlussfolgerung Unsere Untersuchung zeigt, dass Patienten ohne Voroperationen und neurologisches Defizit mit lumbaler Spinalkanalstenose eine erhebliche Linderung von Schmerzen und eine Steigerung der Lebensqualität bereits nach 6 Wochen nach stabilitätserhaltender Dekompression erwarten dürfen. Dieser positive postoperative Effekt zeigt sich über 12 Monate weiter progredient. Das DWG-Register bietet eine standardisierte und validierte Möglichkeit, konservative wie operative Behandlungen an der Wirbelsäule langfristig vergleichbar zu machen.

Abstract Background: To conduct a cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) in the Slovenian language, for use in patients with low back pain. Methods: The English version of COMI was translated into Slovene following established guidelines. 353 patients with chronic low back pain were recruited from the Orthopedic clinic department of a tertiary care teaching institution. Data quality, construct validity, responsiveness, and test-retest reliability of the COMI were assessed. Results: The questionnaire was generally well accepted with no missing values. The majority of items exhibited only mild floor and ceiling effects. Correlations with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were high (ρ = 0.76 between overall COMI and ODI scores), suggesting that the Slovene version of COMI had high construct validity. Additionally, the Slovene version of COMI successfully captured surgical patients’ improvement in their low back problem (indicator of responsiveness) and showed acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.86). Conclusions: The Slovene version of COMI showed good psychometric properties, comparable to those of previously tested language versions. It represents a valuable instrument for the use in future domestic and multicenter clinical studies.

Data quality, construct validity, responsiveness, and test-retest reliability of the COMI were assessed. Results: The questionnaire was generally well accepted with no missing values. The majority of items exhibited only mild ceiling effects (below 20.0%) and somewhat more prominent floor effects, which were similar to previous studies (4.5%-78.8%). Correlations with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were high (ρ = 0.76 between overall COMI and ODI scores), suggesting that the Slovene version of COMI had high construct validity. Additionally, the Slovene version of COMI successfully captured surgical patients’ improvement in their low back problem after surgery (overall COMI score change: Z = -9.34, p < .001, r = -0.53) and showed acceptable test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.86). Conclusions: The Slovene version of COMI showed good psychometric properties, comparable to those of previously tested language versions. It represents a valuable instrument for the use in future domestic and multicenter clinical studies.

Abstract Purpose There is a wide selection of instruments and questionnaires available, but many are time consuming in their administration, for patients, practitioners and researchers alike. The Core Outcome Measures Index (COMI) is a short, self-administrated, multidimensional instrument translated into several languages that covers five domains recommended in the assessment of outcome in patients with low-back pain. The purpose of this study was to cross-culturally adapt the COMI from English to Swedish and to test the face and construct validity and reproducibility of its results in patients with low-back pain. Methods Participants (n = 102) were included from primary and secondary care. The participants reported moderate pain and disability levels. All participants filled in the COMI, the Oswestry Disability Index and the EQ5D at baseline. Forty-nine filled in the COMI again after 7 days for the reproducibility part of the study. Results The instrument was successfully forward and back-translated. In the validation process, there were low floor/ceiling effects, with the exception of the symptom-specific well-being (floor) and work disability (ceiling) items. The specific COMI domains and whole score correlated significantly with the chosen reference scale scores to the hypothesised extent (Rho 0.30–0.60 and > 0.60 respectively). COMI reached ICC 0.63 (95% CI 0.42–0.77) in the reproducibility test and the separate items, ICC 0.41–0.78. Conclusions The Swedish COMI shows acceptable psychometric properties and is thus suitable to use as a short instrument for measuring important domains in patients with low-back pain. A future study should investigate the instrument's sensitivity to measure change after treatment. Graphic abstract These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
