Résumé

While predictors for postoperative survival in spine tumour patients have been identified, there is limited evidence for predictors of postoperative Quality of Life (QoL), pain and functional outcome. One hundred and fifty-three consecutive patients, who had undergone surgery for symptomatic spinal metastases between June 2016 and April 2019, were interviewed preoperatively and during follow-ups at three, six and 12 months using the EQ-5D-3L, COMI, and ODI questionnaires. Differences in means exceeding the specific Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values were considered clinically significant. Thirty-three percent of the patients were reported dead after 12 months. Only one metastasis compared to multiple metastases has 7.9 the Odds for an improved EQ-5D-3L score at three months. No neoadjuvant metastatic irradiation has 6.8 the Odds for the improvement at that time against performed radiation. A preoperative ODI score between 50.1 and 100 has 22.0 times the odds compared to the range from 0 to 50 for an improved EQ-5D-3L after three months, and 12.5 times the odds in favour of improved COMI after three months, and 13.6 times the odds for improvement of ODI at the three-month follow-up. A preoperative COMI score ranging from 5.0 to 10 has 21 times the odds of a COMI between 0 and 5 for an improved EQ-5D-3L score and 11 times the odds for an improved ODI after 12 months. Other predictors showed no statistically significant improvement. An improvement in QoL, pain and spinal function after 12 months can be predicted by a subjective preoperative poor health condition. Impaired spinal function before surgery, a singular metastasis and no previous irradiation is predictive of improved spinal function and quality of life three months after surgery.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
While predictors for postoperative survival in spine tumour patients have been identified, there is limited evidence for predictors of postoperative Quality of Life (QoL), pain and functional outcome.
METHODS METHODS
One hundred and fifty-three consecutive patients, who had undergone surgery for symptomatic spinal metastases between June 2016 and April 2019, were interviewed preoperatively and during follow-ups at three, six and 12 months using the EQ-5D-3L, COMI, and ODI questionnaires. Differences in means exceeding the specific Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) values were considered clinically significant.
RESULTS RESULTS
Thirty-three percent of the patients were reported dead after 12 months. Only one metastasis compared to multiple metastases has 7.9 the Odds for an improved EQ-5D-3L score at three months. No neoadjuvant metastatic irradiation has 6.8 the Odds for the improvement at that time against performed radiation. A preoperative ODI score between 50.1 and 100 has 22.0 times the odds compared to the range from 0 to 50 for an improved EQ-5D-3L after three months, and 12.5 times the odds in favour of improved COMI after three months, and 13.6 times the odds for improvement of ODI at the three-month follow-up. A preoperative COMI score ranging from 5.0 to 10 has 21 times the odds of a COMI between 0 and 5 for an improved EQ-5D-3L score and 11 times the odds for an improved ODI after 12 months. Other predictors showed no statistically significant improvement.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
An improvement in QoL, pain and spinal function after 12 months can be predicted by a subjective preoperative poor health condition. Impaired spinal function before surgery, a singular metastasis and no previous irradiation is predictive of improved spinal function and quality of life three months after surgery.
