PG - e337-e345 LID - S1878-8750(22)00829-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.wneu.2022.06.044 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To compare patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) scores and minimum clinically important difference (MCID) achievement rates among patients undergoing single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) in patients with varying severity of preoperative visual analog scale (VAS) neck score. METHODS: Patients with ACDF were grouped: severity of preoperative VAS neck score 8. Demographic/perioperative variables and PROMs (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function [PROMIS PF] score, 12-Item Short Form [SF-12] Mental Component Score [MCS], VAS neck/arm score, and Neck Disability Index [NDI]) were collected preoperatively/postoperatively. MCID attainment comparison by grouping was evaluated using chi(2) analysis. RESULTS: A total of 137 patients were included (103 VAS neck preoperative score 8). The VAS neck preoperative score 8 did not improve: 6 weeks/12 weeks/2 years PROMIS-PF score, all time points SF-12 PCS, 6 weeks/12 weeks/1 year/2 years SF-12 MCS, and 2 years VAS arm score (P 8 had inferior PROMIS-PF scores all time points except 1 year (P 8 were greater for NDI 2 years (P = 0.040), lower for PROMIS-PF score 2 years, and overall (P = 0.018), lower for SF-12 MCS 12 weeks (P = 0.046), lower for VAS neck score 12 weeks to 1 year and overall (P 8 cohort were only significantly inferior for neck pain.
