A “people-like-me” approach to predict individual recovery following lumbar microdiscectomy and physical therapy for lumbar radiculopathy
The "people-like-me" approach generated an accurate prognosis of 12 month outcomes following lumbar discectomy and physical therapy. Scheduling a three month postoperative follow-up to evaluate the course, and refine therapy plans and expectations for patients undergoing lumbar microdiscectomy would be recommended to assist clinicians and patients in more personalized healthcare planning and expectation setting.
