A novel scoring system concept for de novo spinal infection treatment, the Spinal Infection Treatment Evaluation Score (SITE Score): a proof-of-concept study

Jonathan Pluemer et al.

Summary: The objective of this study was to develop a scoring system for evaluating and treating spinal infections. The researchers developed a scoring system called the Spinal Infection Treatment Evaluation Score (SITE Score) through literature reviews and input from an expert panel, and validated the system. The results of the validation showed that the SITE Score has good reliability and accuracy, and can assist physicians in making treatment decisions.

Early Reduction in C-Reactive Protein Following Treatment for Spinal Epidural Abscess: A Potential Treatment Guide

Sarah Hunter et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of early C-reactive protein (CRP) trends following diagnosis of spinal epidural abscess (SEA). Non-operative management with intravenous antibiotics has not demonstrated equivalent outcomes with regard to mortality and morbidity. Knowledge of specific patient and disease factors associated with worse outcomes may predict treatment failure.

Baseline parameters and the prediction of treatment failure in patients with intravenous drug use-associated spinal epidural abscesses

Justin Baum et al.

Summary: This study aims to identify the baseline parameters that predict multimodal treatment failure in patients with spinal epidural abscess (SEA), with or without intravenous drug use (IVDU). It was found that patients with IVDU-associated SEA have distinct baseline characteristics compared to non-IVDU SEA patients. Identifying relevant prognostic factors will contribute to the development of tailored treatment and follow-up regimens.

A scoring system for the preoperative evaluation of prognosis in spinal infection: the MSI-20 score

Sara Lener et al.

Summary: This study aimed to establish an assessment score to predict mortality in spinal infection and facilitate decision-making. Through a retrospective analysis of 252 patients, eight parameters associated with mortality were identified and included in the novel assessment score. The results suggest that patients with an MSI-20 score of 11 or higher may not be suitable for surgery, while early surgery can be considered for patients with an MSI-20 score of 10 or lower. These findings need to be confirmed in prospective studies.

Using factorial mediation analysis to better understand the effects of interventions

Jillian C. Strayhorn et al.

Summary: The text highlights the importance of testing hypotheses about the causal mechanisms underlying interventions through factorial mediation analysis. An empirical example is used to demonstrate how this analysis can improve understanding of the effects of intervention components.

Development and Validation of a Predictive Model for Failure of Medical Management in Spinal Epidural Abscesses

Paul S. Page et al.

Summary: A predictive model called the Spinal Epidural Abscess Predictive Score was developed using machine learning to assist in clinical decision-making for patients with spinal epidural abscesses. This study identified factors such as active malignancy, spondylodiscitis, organism identification, blood cultures, and sex that contribute to the likelihood of failure of medical management. The model had a high accuracy in predicting the need for surgical intervention, with a probability of failure of medical management reaching 95% for a score of 7 or more.

External Review and Validation of a Spinal Epidural Abscess Predictive Score for Clinical Failure

Paul S. Page et al.

Summary: The proposed risk stratification scale for spinal epidural abscess (SEA) was not correlated with risk of clinical failure. However, combined treatment with antibiotics and surgical intervention on initial presentation significantly reduced the rate of clinical failure.

C-reactive Protein-to-albumin Ratio in Spinal Epidural Abscess: Association with Post-treatment Complications

Summary: The study found that elevated CAR is associated with an increased likelihood of major morbidity in SEA. It is suggested to use a CAR value of 2.5 as a threshold for enhanced surveillance and consider patients with values above 73.7 as being at exceptional risk of morbidity.

Using factorial mediation analysis to better understand the effects of interventions

Jillian C. Strayhorn et al.

Summary: Factorial mediation analysis is an important method to help intervention scientists understand the causal mechanisms behind the individual and combined effects of intervention components. It provides detailed information about how intervention components work, contributing to theory advancement and informing intervention improvements.

Spinal Epidural Abscess Patients Have Higher Modified Frailty Indexes Than Back Pain Patients on Emergency Room Presentation: A Single-Center Retrospective

Jose F. Dominguez et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with spinal epidural abscess (SEA) were more frail compared to those with back pain, with frailty being determined as an independent risk factor for SEA. The use of the modified frailty index (mFI) may be potentially useful in predicting, prognosticating, and guiding treatment for SEA.
