What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)

    NRS uses an 11-point scale to evaluate current main pain and radiating pain where no pain is indicated by '0', and the worst pain imaginable by '10'.

    Measured: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. euroqol-5 dimension (EQ-5D)

    EQ-5D is most widely used as a method of indirectly calculating the quality of life from various aspects. The EQ-5D consists of 5 questions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression) that ask about the current state of health, and answers each question with 5 likert. (1=I have no problems about, 2=I have slight problems about, 3=I have moderate problems about, 4=I have severe problems about, 5=I am unable to about).

    Measured: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

  2. Neck Disability Index (NDI)

    NDI is a functional disability questionnaire. The possible range of each item score is 0 to 5. Total score range is 0 (better outcome) to 100 (worse outcome).

    Measured: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

  3. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)

    ODI is a 10-item questionnaire developed to evaluate the degree of disability for lower back pain. Each item is divided into 6 levels, and 0 to 5 points are awarded. The higher the score, the greater the degree of disability.

    Measured: The results are measured for each patient at admission (before) and discharge (after) from January 2021 to December 31, 2023.

  4. Adverse Events (AE)

    All adverse events complained of by the patient during the period of hospitalization.

    Measured: The period of hospitalization is limited to January 2021 to December 2023.
