Resumen
GARCIA-GALICIA, Arturo et al. Functional and pain evaluation in patients with spinal deformity surgically treated. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, n.6, pp.708-713. Epub 08-Nov-2021. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001585.
Background:
The degenerative spine has an incidence greater than 60% in people over 60 years old. Functionality and pain is assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the visual analogue pain scale (VAPS), respectively.
Objective:
To evaluate the functionality and pain one year after surgery, in patients with degenerative spine.
Method:
Comparative, longitudinal study, in patients with degenerative spine surgically managed during 2016 to 2018. Functional aspects and pain were evaluated before surgery and one year later using ODI and VAPS. Descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency and dispersion, Student's t were used for the difference between the pre and postoperative values of both scales.
Results:
There were 18 patients. Of these, 15 completed the follow-up; 8 were men and 7 women. The average age was 63.5 ± 4.8 years; 13 presented moderate post-surgical functional limitation, 2 intense functional limitation. There were statistically significant differences between the pre and postoperative values for ODI and VAPS (p = 0.011 and p = 0.017, respectively).
Conclusions:
Functionality and pain evaluated one year after surgery, have a statistically significant difference compared to evaluations before surgery in patients with spine deformity surgically treated.
