OBJECTIVEThe Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is one of the most commonly used patient-reported outcome instruments, but completion of this 10-question survey can be cumbersome. Tools from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) are an alternative, and potentially more efficient, means of assessing physical, mental, and social outcomes in spine surgery. Authors of this retrospective study assessed whether scores on the 4-item surveys of function and pain from the PROMIS initiative correlate with those on the ODI in lumbar spine surgery.METHODSPatients evaluated in the adult neurosurgery spine clinic at a single institution completed the ODI, PROMIS Short Form v2.0 Physical Function 4a (PROMIS PF), and PROMIS Short Form v1.0 Pain Interference 4a (PROMIS PI) at various time points in their care. Score data were retrospectively analyzed using linear regressions with calculation of the Pearson correlation coefficient.RESULTSThree hundred forty-three sets of surveys (ODI, PROMIS PF, and PROMIS PI) were obtained from patients across initial visits (n = 147), 3-month follow-ups (n = 107), 12-month follow-ups (n = 52), and 24-month follow-ups (n = 37). ODI scores strongly correlated with PROMIS PF t-scores at baseline (r = −0.72, p < 0.0001), 3 months (r = −0.79, p < 0.0001), 12 months (r = −0.85, p < 0.0001), and 24 months (r = −0.89, p < 0.0001). ODI scores also correlated strongly with PROMIS PI t-scores at baseline (r = 0.71, p < 0.0001), at 3 months (r = 0.82, p < 0.0001), at 12 months (r = 0.86, p < 0.0001), and at 24 months (r = 0.88, p < 0.0001). Changes in ODI scores moderately correlated with changes in PROMIS PF t-scores (r = −0.68, p = 0.0003) and changes in PROMIS PI t-scores (r = 0.57, p = 0.0047) at 3 months postoperatively.CONCLUSIONSA strong correlation was found between the ODI and the 4-item PROMIS PF/PI at isolated time points for patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Large cohort studies are needed to determine longitudinal accuracy and precision and to assess possible benefits of time savings and improved rates of survey completion.

Abstract BACKGROUND: The Timed Up and Go Test (TUG Test) has previously been described as a reliable tool to evaluate objective functional impairment in patients with degenerative disc disease. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) of the TUG Test. METHODS: The TUG Test (measured in seconds) was correlated with validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROs) of pain intensity (Visual Analog Scale for back and leg pain), functional impairment (Oswestry Disability Index, Roland Morris Disability Index), and health-related quality of life measures (Short Form-12 and EuroQol 5D). Three established methods were used to establish anchor-based MCID values using responders of the following PROs (Visual Analog Scale back and leg pain, Oswestry Disability Index, Roland Morris Disability Index, EuroQol 5D index, and Short Form-12 Physical Component Summary) as anchors: (1) average change, (2) minimum detectable change, and (3) change difference approach. RESULTS: One hundred patients with a mean ± SD age of 56.2 ± 16.1 years, 57 (57%) male, 45 patients undergoing microdiscectomy, 35 undergoing lumbar decompression, and 20 undergoing fusion surgery were studied. The 3 MCID computation methods revealed a range of MCID values according to the PRO used from 0.9 s (Oswestry Disability Index based on the change difference approach) to 6.0 s (EuroQol 5D index based on the minimum detectable change approach), with a mean MCID of 3.4 s for all measured PROs. CONCLUSION: The MCID for the TUG Test time is highly variable depending on the computation technique used. The average TUG Test MCID was 3.4 s using all 3 methods and all anchors.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar os indicadores sociodemográficos e de qualidade de vida dos estudantes dos cursos de saúde da Universidade Estadual do Ceará correlacionando os resultados obtidos entre os cursos. Trata-se de um estudo transversal quantitativo onde 432 estudantes de graduação dos cursos da área da saúde foram voluntariamente convidados a participar. O instrumento utilizado nesta pesquisa para avaliar a qualidade de vida dos estudantes é o genérico “Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) que divide em oito domínios o estudo da qualidade de vida. As características sociodemográficas: sexo feminino (63,6%), sexo masculino 36,3%. solteiros correspondendo a 94,2% e casados 5,09%. Dentre os domínio analisados, vitalidade foi o que menos pontuou nos cursos de medicina (48,17), ciências biológicas (46,56), enfermagem (48,11) e nutrição (59,7). O aspecto menos prejudicado em todos os cursos é o de capacidade funcional, sendo inclusive o único a apresentar valores acima de 80 pontos em todos os cursos, com o menor sendo da ciências biológicas (82,31) e o maior sendo do curso de nutrição (89,40). O estudo identificou que a percepção da qualidade de vida para os estudantes das áreas da saúde apresentou valores semelhantes quando comparados entre si.Os achados deste estudos evidenciam a necessidade das instituições de ensino em preocupar-se com o bem-estar físico e emocional dos seus alunos que pode estar diretamente ligado ao sucesso acadêmico e profissional destes.
