Health-related quality of life following decompression compared to decompression and fusion for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis: a Canadian multicentre study

Abstract: Health-related quality of life following decompression compared to decompression and fusion for degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis: a Canadian multicentre study Background: Decompression alone (D) is a well-accepted treatment for patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) causing neurogenic claudication; however, D is controversial in patients with LSS who have degenerative spondylolisthesis (DLS).

“…Matsudaira [26] and Plotz and Benini [27] obtained seven points and are, therefore, considered having a high risk of bias. Rampersaud et al [2], Forsth et al [3], Herkowitz and Kurz [5] and Ghogawala et al [7] scored a total of eight points; Park et al [28] and Sigmundsson et al [29] scored a total of nine points and Kleinstueck et al [12] a total of ten points. These studies thus have a medium risk of bias.…”
