What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Clinical value of spine MRI in therapeutic management of patients admitted for thoraco-lumbar spine injuries, in addition to ct-scan.Procedure or surgery

    Therapeutic possibilities include conservative, percutaneous and invasive (surgery) treatments. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether spine mri changes the therapeutic management.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in therapeutic management of thoraco-lumbar spine injuries

    The Bowker test will be used to analyze paired categorical data and determine whether there is symmetry between the rows and columns of a square table (3x3; before/after MRI)

    Measured: At the inclusion

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Occult fractures

    Account of fractures only viewed with MRI, defined as T1 hyposignal and T2 STIR (short TI inversion recovery .hypersignal of a vertebral endplate.

    Measured: At the inclusion

  2. Change in AO spine classification

    Comparison of CT scan and MRI AO spine classification of injuries.

    Measured: At the inclusion

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in therapeutic management of thoraco-lumbar spine injuries (time frame: At the inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
