SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: Eight investigational and 3 control subjects were evaluated for fusion success at 24 months.

Rate of fusion success is reported as percent of subjects having fusion success. The fusion success was defined radiologically as: 1. evidence of bridging bone; 2. no evidence of motion; 3. no evidence of radiolucency at greater than 50% of the superior or inferior PEEK spacer-vertebra interface.

ODI Questionnaire was used to assess patient back function. The ODI score ranges from 0-100. The best score is 0 (no disability) and worst is 100 (maximum disability). Success rate of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) is reported as percent of subjects whose ODI score met: pre-operative score - post-operative score ≥ 15.

Neurological status was assessed in six sections: motor, sensory, reflexes, straight leg raising, bowel function, and bladder function. Each of the sections had a number of elements. Success rate of neurological status is reported as percent of subjects whose neurological status was maintained or improved in three key neurological assessments-motor, sensory, and deep tendon reflexes.

Numerical rating scales were used to evaluate back pain intensity and frequency. Subjects rated their back pain intensity on a scale from 0-10, with a score of 0 representing "no pain" and a score of 10 representing "pain as bad as it could be." Similarly, subjects recorded their back pain frequency on a scale from 0-10, with a score of 0 being "pain none of the time" and a score of 10 being "pain all of the time." The total back pain score were the sum of pain intensity and frequency scores. Success rate of back pain is reported as percent of subjects whose back pain improvement met: pre-operative score - post-operative score \> 0.

The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) health survey was used to assess general health status. The SF-36 results were summarized into two components, a physical component summary (PCS) and a mental component summary (MCS). The scores for PCS and MCS are between 0 and 100, with higher scores denoting better quality of life. To be classified as a success, the following criteria must be met for SF-36 PCS and MCS, respectively: post-operative score - pre-operative score \>= 0. The results are reported as percent of subjects who have SF-36 PCS success, SF-36 MCS success, and overall SF-36 success.
