Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; Δ, delta; MCS-12, Short Form-12 mental component score; ODI, Oswestry Disability Index; PCS-12, Short Form-12 physical component score; % MCID, percentage of patients reaching MCID at 1-year follow-up; Post, postoperative; Pre, preoperative; PROM, Patient-reported outcome measurement; RR, recovery ratio; VAS-back, Visual Analogue Score for back pain; VAS-leg, Visual Analogue Score for leg pain.

a

1-way ANOVA (Bonferroni post-hoc analysis), Kruskal-Wallis H test (Dunn multiple pairwise comparison post-hoc analysis), or Pearson χ2 analysis.

b

Multiple linear regression analysis.

c

Calculated for PROM improvement scores using this formula: (PROM Δ/[ideal score − preoperative PROM]). Ideal scores: PCS-12 and MCS-12 = 100; ODI, VAS back, and VAS leg = 0.

d

MCID cut-off values: PCS-12: 8.8, MCS-12: 9.3, ODI: 6.8, VAS Back: 2.1, and VAS Leg: 2.4.

e

Paired samples t test.

f

Indicates statistical significance (P < .05).
