Long Term Follow-up of Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture In-patients Treated With Integrat ed Complementary and Alternative Medicine: A Retrospective Chart Review and Survey
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and safety of integrative Korean medicine for Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture in-patients by observing inpatients treated with integrative Korean medicine.
This study is a retrospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with Acute Vertebral Compression Fracture and who have been admitted to four Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine (Gangnam, Bucheon, Daejeon, and Haeundae) for 2016.04.01-2022.06.30.
Medical records of selected patients will be analyzed, and telephone surveys will be conducted for each patient. The survey questions are Numeric ratinc scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index(ODI), quality of life, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), etc.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Numeric rating scale (NRS) [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
NRS uses an 11-point scale to evaluate current neck pain and radiating pain where no pain is indicated by '0', and the worst pain imaginable by '10'. NRS was assessed at admission, 2 weeks after admission, discharge, and long term follow up.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Oswestry Disability Index(ODI) [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
ODI is a 10-item questionnaire developed to evaluate the degree of disability for lower back pain. Each item is divided into 6 levels, and 0 to 5 points are awarded. The higher the score, the greater the degree of disability. We will conduct an validated Korean NDI questionnaire
- The five level version of EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
EQ-5D is most widely used as a method of indirectly calculating the quality of life from various aspects. The EQ-5D-5L consists of 5 questions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression) that ask about the current state of health, and answers each question with 5 likert. (1=I have no problems about, 2=I have slight problems about, 3=I have moderate problems about, 4=I have severe problems about, 5=I am unable to about) In this study, the validated Korean version questionnaire will be used.
- Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
PGIC is an indicator that evaluates the improvement of patients in 7 steps, and the subject responds with improvement of functional limitation after treatment with 7 likert. (1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, 7=very much worse).
- Spine Operation [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
Operation status
- Treatment after discharge survey [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
Treatment history after discharge
- Satisfaction with integrative Korean medicine survey [[Time Frame: Finish survey by November 2023]]
Preference for integrative Korean medicine, satisfaction with integrative Korean medicine, How helpful hospitalization has been for returning to work and adjusting to daily life.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
