The purpose of this study was to analyze 42 patients disabled with low-back pain in order to assess Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Index (MMPI) changes before and after surgery, the predictive value of MMPI, the results of anterior lumbar fusion in one group of severely disabled lumbar low-back pain patients. Statistical analyses were performed to compare and contrast MMPI, pain assessment, functional and occupational levels, and disability index before and after surgery. The degree of morbidity of the patients preoperatively was severe. After surgery, the majority of the patients showed improvement in their overall status. The available evidence suggests the following: Improvement in physical condition can produce improvement in psychological test scores; The preoperative MMPI is not a reliable indicator of surgical success.
本研究旨在分析42例因腰痛致残的患者，以评估明尼苏达多相人格问卷（MMPI）在手术前后的变化、MMPI的预测价值，以及一组严重致残性腰椎腰痛患者前路腰椎融合术的结果。进行统计分析以比较和对比手术前后的MMPI、疼痛评估、功能和职业水平以及残疾指数。患者术前的发病率严重。手术后，大多数患者的整体状况有所改善。现有证据表明：身体状况的改善可使心理测试分数提高；术前MMPI并非手术成功的可靠指标。
