---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Swallowing Difficulty | Two measurement surveys were used: The Dysphagia Short Questionnaire: An Instrument for Evaluation of Dysphagia (DSQ) and Bazaz Dysphagia Scale (Bazaz). The DSQ and Bazaz determine levels of dysphagia over time after anterior cervical spine surgery. A DSQ score of zero indicates no symptoms. Any number above zero indicates difficulty swallowing. The Bazaz score of Zero indicates no symptoms. Any number above zero indicates difficulty swallowing. Numbers of subjects reporting any difficulty swallowing (had to have a score of at least 1) at various time points are listed below associated with the randomization assignment and survey used. | 1 day; 2 days; 1 week; 2 weeks; 1 month; 3 months; 6 months;12 months | |
Secondary | Change in Quality of Life | Change in Quality of life measured by the Neck Disability Index (NDI) from baseline and 1 year for Treatment 1; Dexamethasone and Treatment 0; Saline placebo. The NDI measures self-rated disability due to neck pain. Each of the 10 items is scored from 0 - 5. The maximum score is 50. The higher the score the more disability. The scale is 0 - 4 = no disability; 5 - 14 = mild;15 - 24 = moderate; 25 - 34 = severe; above 34 = complete disability. | Baseline and 1 year (or last visit as appropriate). Not all subjects followed up at 1 year. | |
Secondary | Fusion Rate Steroid vs Placebo | Participants were considered fused if radiographs demonstrated less than 1 millimeter of interspinous motion between flexion and extension,7 or if CT/MRI demonstrated clear evidence of bone bridging from endplate to endplate. | 1 year |
