Abstract
Study Design: Retrospective cohort analysis. Objective: To determine whether the C2 exposure technique was a predictor of change in cervical alignment and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) after posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF) for degenerative indications. Background: In PCDF handling of the C2 posterior paraspinal musculature during the operative approach varies by surgeon technique. To date, no studies have investigated whether maintenance of the upper cervical semispinalis cervicis attachments as compared with complete reflection of upper cervical paraspinal musculature from the posterior bony elements is associated with superior radiographic and clinical outcomes after PCDF. Patients and Methods: All adult patients who underwent C2–T2 PCDF for myelopathy or myeloradiculopathy at multi-institutional academic centers between 2013 and 2020 were retrospectively identified. Patients were dichotomized by the C2 exposure technique into semispinalis preservation or midline muscular reflection groups. Preoperative and short and long-term postoperative radiographic outcomes (upper cervical alignment, global alignment, and fusion status) and PROMs (Visual Analog Scale–Neck, Neck Disability Index, and Short Form-12) were collected. Univariate analysis compared patient factors, radiographic measures, and PROMs across C2 exposure groups. Results: A total of 129 patients met the inclusion/exclusion criteria (73 muscle preservation and 56 muscle reflection). Patients in the muscular preservation group were on average younger (P= 0.005) and more likely to have bone morphogenic protein (P< 0.001) and C2 pars screws (P= 0.006) used during surgery. Preoperative to postoperative changes in C2 slope, C2 tilt, C2–C3 segmental lordosis, C2–C3 listhesis, C0–C2 Cobb angle, proximal junctional kyphosis, ADI, C1 lamina-occiput distance, C2 sagittal vertical axis, C2–C7 lordosis, and PROMs at all follow-up intervals did not vary significantly by C2 exposure technique. Likewise, there were no significant differences in fusion status, C2–C3 pseudoarthrosis, C2 screw loosening, and complication and revision rates between C2 exposure groups. Conclusions: Preservation of C2 semispinalis attachments versus muscular reflection did not significantly impact cervical alignment, clinical outcomes, or proximal junction complications in long-segment PCDF. Level of Evidence: Level III.

  • Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
  • We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
  • We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
  • The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
  • Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance

要点】:研究采用回顾性队列分析,探讨了C2肌肉暴露技术对颈椎融合术后放射学结果和患者报告结局的影响,发现保留C2半棘肌附着与肌肉完全反射在颈椎对线、临床结果或近端交界并发症上无显著差异。

方法】:将2013年至2020年间在多家学术中心接受C2-T2后路颈椎减压融合手术的患者根据C2暴露技术分为半棘肌保留组和中线肌肉反射组,对比了术前和术后短期及长期放射学结果和患者报告结局。

实验】:共129名患者符合纳入/排除标准,其中73名采用肌肉保留技术,56名采用肌肉反射技术。通过对术前术后颈椎对线参数及患者报告结局评分的对比分析,结果显示两种技术对颈椎融合术后的临床和放射学结果影响无显著差异。数据集为2013年至2020年间在多机构学术中心接受手术的患者信息。
