Great work to start the year by our Bowers Neurosurgical Frailty and Outcomes Lab frailty does an excellent job in predicting postoperative mortality after major complications with thoracolumbar fusion. This will help risk stratify this important patient population! #frailtyfighter

New Neurospine Journal: A frailty-driven predictive model using the Risk Analysis Index predicts failure to rescue following thoracolumbar fusion with strong discriminatory accuracy (C-stat: 0.92). Christian Bowers Joanna Roy Georgios Skandalakis

New World Neurosurgery: X: we compared the operating microscope and exoscope across 16 studies & 539 spine patients. The exoscope demonstrated ⬇️ blood loss, a shorter learning curve, and improved image quality, ergonomics, and costs. Javed Iqbal Christian Bowers
