Patient Reported Outcomes – Cervical Spine | Prof Aaron Buckland

Patient Outcome Data

As part of your standard of care, Prof Buckland gathers patient reported outcomes (PROs) in order to ensure we gain clear insights into the success rates of our surgeries. By sharing real patient experiences and outcomes, we aim to build trust and confidence in our procedures, helping you make informed decisions about your healthcare journey. This data not only aids in continuous improvement but also guides others towards achieving their best possible outcomes.

Interpretation of Neck Disability Index (NDI) Scores

  • 0 to 9%: No Disability – The patient experiences no significant neck pain issues and can perform all daily activities without restriction.
  • 10 to 29%: Mild Disability – Minor limitations in activities; neck pain does not significantly impact daily life.
  • 30 to 49%: Moderate Disability – Noticeable limitations in daily activities; modifications may be required.
  • 50 to 69%: Severe Disability – Significant restrictions in daily activities; neck pain greatly affects function.
  • >70%: Complete Disability – The patient is severely impacted, often unable to carry out most daily activities.

How Do We Measure Clinical Improvement?

Clinical improvement is measured by the ‘Minimally Clinically Important Difference’ (MCID). An improvement in the NDI of more than 17.3% is considered clinically significant.
