Experiences and perceptions of adults pre- and/or post-lumbar spine surgery: a meta-ethnography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Study Design Qualitative meta-ethnography. Pre-registered with OSF:10.17605/OSF.IO/UTZE6.Purpose To understand the patient experience pre- and/or post-lumbar spine surgery.Methods Literature search: A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, EmCare and CINAHL from inception to October 17, 2022. Study selection criteria: Peer-reviewed qualitative or mixed-method studies of English text investigating the beliefs, perceptions, or experiences of adults (≥18 years old) pre- and/or post-lumbar spine surgery for degenerative, non-traumatic or non-infectious concerns. Data synthesis: The eMERGE meta-ethnography reporting guidelines were followed to create themes and subthemes from the original themes of the included studies. A quality appraisal was performed using the McMaster Quality Appraisal tool.Results We included 18 studies and identified five themes that were separated into pre- and post-operative categories. The two pre-operative themes included [1 Balagué F, Mannion AF, Pellisé F, et al. Non-specific low back pain . Lancet . 2012; 379(9814):482–491. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(11)60610-7.[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]]: the influence of physiotherapy interventions on patients’ experiences, and [2 Murray CJL, Vos T, Lozano R, et al.

Future research should focus on addressing psychosocial factors that may optimize patient experiences and recovery following LSS.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
