Summary: | The paper presents a review of the current literature devoted to estimation of outcomes of surgical treatment for degenerative changes in the spine using scales, tests and questionnaires. The literature search in domestic and foreign bibliographic databases has been carried out, and the use of scales, tests and questionnaires in spinal surgery was analyzed. The review presents requirements for scales, tests and questionnaires, examines the evaluation of clinical and patient-reported outcomes, and describes the advantages of multifactorial outcome evaluation. The multifactorial evaluation of outcomes is illustrated by the example of degenerative changes in the cervical spine, and includes a clinical case of surgical treatment for cervical myelopathy. The limitations of scales, tests and questionnaires are also discussed. |
