  • Abstrakt: Background: Daily clinical practice shows us how diametrically different surgical outcomes can occur in particular groups of patients sharing the same diagnosis and being subjected to the same treatment. Patient-reported outcomes appear to be significantly influenced by social factors and patients’ emotional status. Data on such variables were collated and analyzed statistically with the aim of confirming our clinical observations. Methods: We analyzed a group of 100 patients following cervical disc surgery. The clinical evaluation was based on a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and the neck disability index (NDI). Non-clinical data comprised education status, employment status, body mass index (BMI), and history of depressive episodes in the period immediately preceding the surgery, which was investigated using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: Patients who had completed university or secondary school education had a significantly lower BMI and lower BDI scores and they reported less pain at 12 months postoperatively than patients with vocational or elementary school education only. Patients who were employed at the time of the study or were retired demonstrated significantly lower NDI scores both before the surgery and at 12 months postoperatively, as well as lower BDI scores compared to those who were unemployed or drew disability pensions. Factors such as age or BMI score did not exert a direct effect on treatment outcomes assessed as changes in the VAS and NDI scores. Conclusions: Surgical treatment for the cervical disc disease decreases pain and improves patients’ quality of life. Treatment outcomes are also influenced by social factors and patients’ emotional status.
