Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Study Design. Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. Objective. To evaluate how preexisting adjacent segment degeneration status impacts revision risk for adjacent segment disease (ASD) after lumbar fusions. Summary of Background Data. ASD incurs late reoperations after lumbar fusion surgeries. ASD pathogenesis is multifactorial. Preexisting adjacent segment degeneration, measured by Pfirrmann, is suggested as one of the predisposing factors. We sought to find deeper insights into this association by using a more granular degeneration measure, the combined imaging score (CIS). Patients and Methods. A total of 197 consecutive lumbar fusions for degenerative pathologies were enrolled in a prospective follow-up (median: 12 yr). Preoperative cranial adjacent segment degeneration status was determined using Pfirrmann and CIS, which utilize both radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging. On the basis of CIS, patients were trichotomized into tertiles (CIS <7, CIS 7-10, and CIS >10). The cumulative ASD revision risk was determined for each tertile. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, sacral fixation, and fusion length, hazard ratios (95% CI) for ASD revisions were determined for each Pfirrmann and CIS score. Results. Patients in the intermediate CIS tertile had a cumulative ASD revision risk of 25.4% (17.0%-37.0%), while both milder degeneration (CIS <7) [13.2% (6.5%-25.8%)] and end-stage degeneration (CIS >10) [13.6% (7.0%-25.5%)] appeared to be protective against surgical ASD. Pfirrmann failed to show a significant association with ASD revision risk. Adjusted analysis of CIS suggested increased ASD revisions after CIS 7, which turned contrariwise after CIS 10. Conclusions. The effect of preexisting adjacent segment degeneration on ASD reoperation risk is not linear. The risk appears to increase with advancing degeneration but diminishes with end-stage degeneration. Therefore, end-stage degenerative segments may be considered to be excluded from fusion constructs.
