Abstract Background Understanding ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity assessed via the full, modified or partial Mayo Score may help clinicians apply results from clinical trials to practice and facilitate interpretation of recent and older studies. Methods Mayo Score variables were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2608 UC patients. Results Permutations of Mayo Scores were highly correlated, and models predicting the omitted variable from each permutation demonstrated significant agreement between predicted and observed values. Conclusions Partial/modified Mayo Scores may be used to predict endoscopic and Physician's Global Assessment scores, and serve as proxies for the full Mayo Score in clinical practice/trials.

Abstract INTRODUCTION Canada has a universal health care system that is government funded and access to specialist care requires a referral by general practitioners. The United States utilizes a blended public and private payer system where insured patients can directly access specialists. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in outcomes in the two systems. METHODS Surgical lumbar disc herniation patients treated between 2013 and 2016 in Canada that were enrolled in the Canadian Spine Outcome Research Network (CSORN) prospective multicenter registry. The Canadian cohort was compared with the surgical cohort enrolled in the Spine Patients Outcome Research Trial (SPORT) study. Baseline demographics and spine-related patient reported outcomes (PROs) were compared at 3 mo and 1 yr postoperatively. RESULTS The CSORN cohort consisted of 703 patients and the SPORT cohort was made up of 573 patients. The rate of females in each cohort was similar (47.2% vs 46.4%, P = .78), however, patients in the CSORN cohort were older (46.2 13.2 vs 41.6 10.9, P < .001), had a higher rate of smoking (32.0% vs 22.8%, P < .001), and were more likely to be employed (66.9% vs 61.3%, P = .034). The CSORN cohort had a slightly lower Owestry Disability score at baseline (50.515.1 vs 55.7 19.6, P < .01) but had a higher proportion of patients with a symptom duration greater than 6 mo (44.5% vs 21.1%, P < .0001). The CSORN cohort demonstrated significantly greater rates of satisfaction after surgery at 3 mo (74.8% vs 65.3%, P = .003) and 1 yr (81.4% vs 68.7%, P < .001). Improvements in back and leg pain followed similar trajectories. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing surgical treatment for lumbar disc herniation in Canada (CSORN cohort) reported higher rates of satisfaction at 3 mo and 1 yr postoperatively compared to the United States cohort (SPORT) despite having longer durations of symptoms prior to surgery.

Background: Canada has a universal health care system while the United States utilizes a combined public and private payer system. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are differences in clinical outcomes between those surgically treated for spinal stenosis in Canada as compared to the United States. Methods: Surgical lumbar spinal stenosis patients treated in Canada that were enrolled in the Canadian Spine Outcome Research Network (CSORN) prospective multicenter registry were compared with the surgical cohort enrolled in the Spine Patients Outcome Research Trial (SPORT) study. Spine-related patient reported outcomes (PROs) were compared at 3 months and 1 year post-operatively. Results: The CSORN cohort consisted of 432 patients and the SPORT cohort was made up of 278 patients. The CSORN cohort had a higher proportion of patients with a symptom duration greater than 6 months (92.3% vs. 58.3%, p<0.0001). The CSORN cohort demonstrated significantly greater rates of satisfaction after surgery at 3 months (p=0.003) and 1 year (p<0.001). Conclusions: Patients undergoing surgical treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis in Canada (CSORN cohort) reported higher rates of satisfaction at 3 months and 1 year post-operatively compared to the United States cohort (SPORT) despite having longer durations of symptoms prior to surgery.
