When Does the Patient with a Disc Herniation Undergo Lumbosacral Discectomy? JNNP 68:75-79, Vroomen,P.C.A.J.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Given the requirement of a high specificity, eventual operation could be adequately predicted in a sample of 183 patients with clinical nerve root compression. The application of the model in patients with nerve root compression might lead to earlier operation in a subset of patients resulting in a reduction of duration of illness and associated indirect costs. An important prerequisite for future application would be the validation of the prediction rule in another population.
