Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Reduction | 90 days | VAS Pain Score change of \> -33% compared to baseline. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score is based on a 100 mm line. The subject places a mark on the line to indicate the level of pain. The scale goes from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain). The distance on the line from zero to the mark indicates the score. |
| Functional Improvement - Barthel Index | 90 days | Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) improvement of \>= +10% from baseline. Total score ranges from 0 to 100 points (scores on a scale). Higher scores indicate greater independence and better functional outcome, while lower scores indicate greater dependence and worse functional outcome. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Reduction | 180 and 360 days | VAS Pain Score change of \>= -33% compared to baseline. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score is based on a 100 mm line. The subject places a mark on the line to indicate the level of pain. The scale goes from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain). The distance on the line from zero to the mark indicates the score. |
| Summary Percent Change From Baseline of Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Pain Score | 90, 180, 360 days | Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain score is based on a 100 mm line. The subject places a mark on the line to indicate the level of pain. The scale goes from 0 (no pain) to 100 (worst imaginable pain). The distance on the line from zero to the mark indicates the score. |
| Functional Improvement - Barthel Index | 180 and 360 days | Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) improvement of \>= +10% from baseline. Total score ranges from 0 to 100 points (scores on a scale). Higher scores indicate greater independence and better functional outcome, while lower scores indicate greater dependence and worse functional outcome. |
| Change From Baseline of Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living | 90, 180, 360 Days | Change from baseline in Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living Score by visit. Scores for each scale and domain are transformed to range from 0 to 100 points (scores on a scale). Higher scores indicate better functional status and improved quality of life outcomes, while lower scores indicate worse functioning. |
| Functional Improvement - EORTC QLQ-C30 | 90, 180, 360 days | Functional Improvement using EORTC QLQ-C30 improvement of \>= +10% from baseline. Scores for each scale and domain are transformed to range from 0 to 100 points (scores on a scale). Higher scores indicate better functional status and improved quality of life outcomes, while lower scores indicate worse functioning. |
| Functional Improvement - EORTC QLQ-BM22 | 90, 180, 360 days | Functional Improvement - EORTC QLQ-BM22 \>= 10% change from baseline. Scores for each scale and domain are transformed to range from 0 to 100 points (scores on a scale). Higher scores indicate better functional status and improved quality of life outcomes, while lower scores indicate worse functioning. |
| Surgical Interventions | 90, 180, 360 days | Surgical interventions include revisions, supplements, fixations and removals |
| Device Status | 90, 180, 360 days | Summary of device status (intact and in-place) |
| Serious Device-Related Complications | 90, 180, 360 days | Summary of serious device-related complications |
