Ninety-two patients who had undergone a primary excision of a lumbar disc were evaluated using 15 different criteria that evaluate the surgical outcome 2-15.5 years (average 8.8 years) following operation. The satisfactory results ranged from 62% to 84%. Criteria which relied on the subjective opinion of the patient gave the best results, while on the contrary the worst results were those that relied on functional criteria, such as return to work, return to previous employment, general activity level and need of further treatment. This variability in results observed with the same group of patients depends to a great extent on the nature of criteria used as well as on the design of those criteria. The study concludes that the reported outcomes for lumbar spinal surgery are influenced by the selection of the criteria used for the assessment of the end results.
92 例接受腰椎间盘初次切除术的患者，使用 15 种不同的标准进行评估，这些标准在术后 2-15.5 年（平均 8.8 年）评估手术效果。满意的结果范围为 62%至 84%。依赖于患者主观意见的标准给出了最好的结果，而相反，依赖于功能标准（如恢复工作、恢复以前的工作、一般活动水平和需要进一步治疗）的结果最差。在同一组患者中观察到的这种结果的可变性在很大程度上取决于所使用的标准的性质以及这些标准的设计。该研究得出结论，报告的腰椎脊柱手术结果受到用于评估最终结果的标准选择的影响。
