Aims. The aim of this study was to report the long-term prognosis of patients with multiple Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) involving the spine, and to analyze the risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS). Methods. We included 28 patients with multiple LCH involving the spine treated between January 2009 and August 2021. Kaplan-Meier methods were applied to estimate overall survival (OS) and PFS. Univariate Cox regression analysis was used to identify variables associated with PFS. Results. Patients with multiple LCH involving the spine accounted for 15.4% (28/182 cases) of all cases of
Our aim was to perform a systematic review of the literature
to assess the incidence of post-operative epidural haematomas and
wound infections after one-, or two-level, non-complex, lumbar surgery
for degenerative disease in patients with, or without post-operative
wound drainage. Studies were identified from PubMed and EMBASE, up to and including
27 August 2015, for papers describing one- or two-level lumbar discectomy
and/or laminectomy for degenerative disease in adults which reported
any form of subcutaneous or subfascial drainage.Aims

In recent years, machine learning (ML) and artificial neural networks (ANNs), a particular subset of ML, have been adopted by various areas of healthcare. A number of diagnostic and prognostic algorithms have been designed and implemented across a range of orthopaedic sub-specialties to date, with many positive results. However, the methodology of many of these studies is flawed, and few compare the use of ML with the current approach in clinical practice.
