Evaluation of the Evolution of Patient Care Within the Spinal Pathology Department

Spinal conditions are a major public health issue. Their management by surgical treatment is constantly improving and surgical procedures or implantable medical devices are experiencing significant progress. These innovations have not yet all been precisely evaluated but have already led to significant changes in care practices. The primary objective of our study is to describe, via an exhaustive collection of data, the quarterly evolution over 5 years of practices in the management of spinal pathologies.

About this study

The team will conduct a monocentric (department of spine surgery, University Hospital of Bordeaux, France) prospective observational study during 5 years, involving all patients treated for a spinal condition (including degenerative pathology of the lumbar, thoracic or cervical spine, deformities of the spine and for the traumatic, infectious and tumor pathologies).The data collected will concern the general condition of the patients, their reasons for consultation, the details of their spinal pathology and its impact using specific functional assessment self-questionnaires, as well as the care provided. A three years follow-up will be planned

Treatment and study plan

self-administered questionnaire

Diagnostic Test

quality of life scales for all patient consulting in spine surgery unit and psychological rating scales only for patients who require it (determined by the surgeon)

Primary outcomes

  1. Recourse to surgery

    Time frame: Inclusion visit

    Rate of recourse to surgery by type of spinal pathology given (cervical, thoracic or lumbar degenerative or spinal deformity).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical characteristics

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Visit Month 24 and Visit Month 36

    Weight of patient

  2. Socio-demographic

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Visit Month 24 and Visit Month 36

    Socio-demographic characteristics (occupation)

  3. Socio-demographic

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Visit Month 24 and Visit Month 36

    Socio-demographic characteristics (sports activities)

  4. Questionnaire of Quality of life

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits

    Health-related quality of life evaluated using the SF-36 questionnaire. This questionnaire is composed of 11 items and total score from 0 to 100

  5. Questionnaire of Quality of life

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits

    Health-related quality of life evaluated using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. This questionnaire is composed of 5 items and total score from 5 to 25

  6. Lower back pain.

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits

    The ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) score is used to measure the degree of disability related to lower back pain.

    The questionnaire contains 10 items, each scored from 0 to 5 points. The maximum total score is 50 points.

  7. Cervical pain

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits

    The NDI is used to measure disability related to cervical pain via a standardized questionnaire.

    The questionnaire contains 10 items, each scored from 0 to 5 points. The maximum total score is 50 points.

    The higher the percentage, the greater the functional impairment.

  8. Cervical function, Upper limb function, Lower limb function, Bladder function, Quality of life.

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits

    The JOACMEQ (Japanese Orthopaedic Association Cervical Myelopathy Evaluation Questionnaire) provides 5 independent scores (0-100): Cervical function, Upper limb function, Lower limb function, Bladder function, Quality of life.

    Each area gives a score between 0 (worst) and 100 (best condition).

  9. Evaluation of the safety of care provided.

    Time frame: Inclusion visit, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 24 and Month 36 visits
