    • The association between preoperative MRI findings and clinical improvement in patients included in the NORDSTEN spinal stenosis trial 

      Aaen, Jørn Ståle; Banitalebi, Hasan; Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Hellum, Christian; Storheim, Kjersti; Myklebust, Tor Åge; Anvar, Masoud D; Weber, Clemens; Solberg, Tore; Grundnes, Oliver; Brisby, Helena; Indrekvam, Kari; Hermansen, Erland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-05)
      <p><b>Purpose</b> To investigate potential associations between preoperative MRI findings and patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). <p><b>Methods</b> The NORDSTEN trial included 437 patients. We investigated the association between preoperative MRI findings such as morphological grade of stenosis (Schizas grade), quantitative grade of ...

    • Comparative effectiveness of microdecompression alone vs decompression plus instrumented fusion in lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis 

      Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Gjestad, Rolf; Solberg, Tore; Storheim, Kjersti; Brox, Jens Ivar; Hermansen, Erland; Rekeland, Frode; Indrekvam, Kari; Hellum, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-10)
      <i>Importance</i> - Conflicting evidence and large practice variation are present in the surgical treatment of degenerative spondylolisthesis. More than 90% of surgical procedures in the United States include instrumented fusion compared with 50% or less in other countries.<p> <p><i>Objective</i> - To evaluate whether the effectiveness of microdecompression alone is noninferior to decompression ...

    • Decompression with or without Fusion in Degenerative Lumbar Spondylolisthesis 

      Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Hermansen, Erland; Fagerland, Morten Wang; Storheim, Kjersti; Brox, Jens Ivar; Solberg, Tore; Rekeland, Frode; Franssen, Eric; Weber, Clemens; Brisby, Helena; Grundnes, Oliver; Algaard, Knut; Bøker, Tordis; Banitalebi, Hasan; Indrekvam, Kari; Hellum, Christian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-05)
      BACKGROUND In patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis, it is uncertain whether decompression surgery alone is noninferior to decompression with instrumented fusion. METHODS We conducted an open-label, multicenter, noninferiority trial involving patients with symptomatic lumbar stenosis that had not responded to conservative management and who had single-level ...

    • Is the presence of foraminal stenosis associated with outcome in lumbar spinal stenosis patients treated with posterior microsurgical decompression 

      Aaen, Jørn Ståle; BANITALEBI, HASAN; Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Hellum, Christian; Storheim, Kjersti; Myklebust, Tor Åge; Anvar, Masoud D; Weber, Clemens; Solberg, Tore; Grundnes, Oliver; Brisby, Helena; Indrekvam, Kari; Hermansen, Erland (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-05)
      Background We aim to investigate associations between preoperative radiological findings of lumbar foraminal stenosis with clinical outcomes after posterior microsurgical decompression in patients with predominantly central lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).<p> <p>Methods The study was an additional analysis in the NORDSTEN Spinal Stenosis Trial. In total, 230 men and 207 women (mean age 66.8 (SD ...

    • The Norwegian degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis (NORDSTEN) study: study overview, organization structure and study population 

      Indrekvam, Kari; Bånerud, Ingrid Fjeldheim; Hermansen, Erland; Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Rekeland, Frode Gurvin; Guddal, Maren Hjelle; Solberg, Tore; Brox, Jens Ivar; Hellum, Christian; Storheim, Kjersti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-07-03)
      Purpose To provide an overview of the The Norwegian Degenerative spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis (NORDSTEN)- study and the organizational structure, and to evaluate the study population.<p> <p>Methods The NORDSTEN is a multicentre study with 10 year follow-up, conducted at 18 public hospitals. NORDSTEN includes three studies: (1) The randomized spinal stenosis trial comparing the impact of ...

    • Postoperative Dural Sac Cross-Sectional Area as an Association for Outcome After Surgery for Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Clinical and Radiological Results From the NORDSTEN-Spinal Stenosis Trial 

      Hermansen, Erland; Myklebust, Tor Åge; Weber, Clemens; Brisby, Helena; Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Hellum, Christian; Storheim, Kjersti; Aaen, Jørn Ståle; BANITALEBI, HASAN; Brox, Jens Ivar; Grundnes, Oliver; Rekeland, Frode Gurvin; Solberg, Tore; Franssen, Eric; Indrekvam, Kari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-15)
      Objective - The aim was to investigate the association between postoperative dural sac cross-sectional area (DSCA) after decompressive surgery for lumbar spinal stenosis and clinical outcome. Furthermore, to investigate if there is a minimum threshold for how extensive a posterior decompression needs to be to achieve a satisfactory clinical result.<p> <p>Summary of Background Data - There is ...

    • Study-protocol for a randomized controlled trial comparing clinical and radiological results after three different posterior decompression techniques for lumbar spinal stenosis: the Spinal Stenosis Trial (SST) (part of the NORDSTEN Study) 

      Hermansen, Erland; Austevoll, Ivar Magne; Romild, Ulla Kristina; Rekeland, Frode; Solberg, Tore; Storheim, Kjersti; Grundnes, Oliver; Aaen, Jørn; Brox, Jens Ivar; Hellum, Christian; Indrekvam, Kari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-21)
      Background: <br> There are several posterior decompression techniques for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). There is a trend towards performing less invasive surgical procedures, but no multicentre randomized controlled trials have evaluated the relative efficacy of these techniques at short and long-term. <br> Method/design: <br> A multicentre randomized controlled trial [the Spinal Stenosis Trial ...

    • Surgery in Degenerative Spondylolisthesis: Does fusion improve outcome in subgroups? A secondary analysis from a randomized trial (NORDSTEN trial) 

      Hellum, Christian; Rekeland, Frode Gurvin; Småstuen, Milada Cvancarova; Solberg, Tore; Hermansen, Erland; Storheim, Kjersti; Brox, Jens Ivar; Furunes, Håvard; Franssen, Eric; Weber, Clemens; Brisby, Helena; Grundnes, Oliver; Robert Hector Algaard, Knut; Bøker, Tordis; Banitalebi, Hasan; Indrekvam, Kari; Austevoll, Ivar Magne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-22)
      BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Patients with spinal stenosis and degenerative spondylolisthesis are treated surgically with decompression alone or decompression with fusion. However, there is debate regarding which subgroups of patients may benefit from additional fusion. PURPOSE: To investigate possible treatment effect modifiers and prognostic variables among patients operated for spinal stenosis and ...
