“…Various studies found that disability measured by ODI showed little or moderate correlation with HRQoL [ 1 , 19 ]. The reason could be that these instruments measure different aspects of quality of life, have different constructs, or that correlation is influenced by the type of spinal pathology [ 19 - 21 ].…”

“…Low back pain (LBP) ranks as the second cause for people seeking health care and as the most frequent cause of activity limitation in patients under the age of 45 years [ 1 , 2 ]. Mechanical alterations as disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and lumbar stenosis are the most frequent causes of pain [ 3 ].…”

“…Chronic LBP (CLBP) is usually regarded as pain persisting for more than three months. Although evidence suggests that indications for performing fusion procedures in LBP vary from region to region, advances in technology have made the rates of this type of spine surgeries increase in the last decades [ 1 ]. These factors determined the need for delivering evidence-based approaches to spine fusion surgery [ 4 ].…”

Background/AimsMechanical alterations of the spine, which can cause chronic low back pain (LBP), are a frequent indication for spinal fusion. Studies have shown differences between genders in patients’ evaluations of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after spinal procedures, but results have been conflicting, and some authors have suggested that cultural variation could explain these discrepancies. The objectives of this study were to determine the influence that gender plays on HRQoL, disability, and the correlation between the 2 in people undergoing spinal fusion for chronic LBP at a neurosurgical centre in Eastern Europe. MethodsPatients undergoing fusion surgery at a single centre for LBP with a duration of more than 3 months were included. They were evaluated using the Short Form Health Survey version-2.0 (SF-36v2) and Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire preoperatively and 1 year after the surgical procedure to identify differences between genders and to evaluate correlations between disability and quality of life. ResultsWe included 31 female and 30 male patients. The male patients had higher disability scores at the preoperative evaluation, but improved more than females in all domains of disability at the postoperative evaluation. HRQoL improved similarly in both genders. The ODI score showed a strong or moderate correlation with 6 of the domains of the SF-36 in males, but with only 3 domains in females. Surgery had a positive impact on the mental status of more men than women at risk of depression. ConclusionThe type of benefit that surgery offers seems to be influenced by gender. While HRQoL improved in both genders, disability decreased significantly more in male patients. Male patients also showed a closer correlation between HRQoL and disability. We conclude that men and women place different importance on specific aspects of their overall quality of life.

“…Condition-specific outcomes are important not only for patients but also for clinicians, who regard such clinical information as critical. Assessing a patients’ quality of life is also becoming increasingly important, and recently, many studies evaluated the relationship between condition-specific outcomes and HRQOL measures [ 2 ]. Chiu et al [ 3 ] have reported a moderate correlation between disability and patient satisfaction and between disability and neck pain, and have also found a weak relationship between pain and patient satisfaction.…”

Study DesignCase control study.PurposeTo determine how the Neck Disability Index (NDI), a cervical spine-specific outcome, reflects health-related quality-of-life, and if NDI is correlated to the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) scores.Overview of LiteratureNDI is a useful tool for assessing health-related quality of life in patients with neck pain.MethodsWe used the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient to assess the validity of all items under NDI and SF-36, and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient to assess the correlation between NDI and total SF-36 scores. The primary outcome measures were spine-specific health status- and general health status-measures after spine surgery, and these were evaluated every year for 2 years, using both NDI and SF-36 scores.ResultsNDI had a strong linear correlation with SF-36 and its two scales, the Physical Component Score (PCS) and the Mental Component Score (MCS), attesting to the validity of these two instruments. Among the eight subscales of SF-36, there was a strong linear correlation between NDI and PCS-physical functioning, PCS-bodily pain, and MCS-role emotional. Further, a moderate linear correlation was observed between NDI and subscales of PCS-role physical, PCS-general health, and MCS-social functioning, and between NDI and MCS-vitality and MCS-mental health.ConclusionsOur findings suggest that the NDI adequately reflects the patient’s physical and mental quality of life, implying that the use of NDI to assess functional outcomes can also be ultimately used to evaluate the patient’s quality of life.
