There is a large and growing demand throughout the spine community (indeed, throughout the health care industry) for evidence-based analysis of care and reportable outcomes as a measure of cost efficiency. Spine surgeons are being asked to follow, adopt, or develop well researched clinical guidelines or best evidence medicine in the care they provide their patients. Without proof of effectiveness, it is difficult to know what the optimal treatment option is for the patient with an injury of the spine or spinal cord. Furthermore, without evidence of efficacy of treatment, reimbursement or treatment privilege is being restricted or denied. The economic realities of health care provision and cost escalation worldwide necessitate that treatment recommendations provide the best possible outcomes at a cost that is acceptable to society. This new compilation is an invaluable reference that will improve the quality of care provided to spine trauma patients.
