Brief Summary:
This prospective longitudinal study will compare incidence rates of Medicare beneficiary surgical and minimally invasive intervention post index procedure, as well as harms associated with the MILD procedure, at 24 months post-treatment with MILD, tested against a control group of similar patients that have had a comparable procedure. This study will start with patients treated with a study procedure having an index date on or after January 1, 2017, and enrollment will continue until stopped by the sponsor.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Device: MILD

Detailed Description:
In this study the treatment group will include all patients receiving MILD, and the control group will include all patients receiving IPD for the treatment of LSS during the enrollment period. Reoperation and harms data will be studied for the MILD and IPD procedures for a 24-month follow-up period after the index procedure using Medicare claims data. This study is exempt from IRB oversight (Department of Health and Human Services regulations 45 CFR 46).

Groups and Cohorts
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
MILD
All Medicare patients treated with MILD as reported via CPT® Code 0275T (or successor code(s)).
 Device: MILD
MILD is performed under fluoroscopic image guidance through an ipsilateral interlaminar dorsal approach to the spine. Following epidurography, partial decompression is performed through the removal of tissue and bone at the symptomatic level confirmed with correlated MRI and clinical findings.
Interspinous Process Decompression
All Medicare patients treated with interspinous process decompression (CPT Code 22869 or 22870, or successor code(s)) for the treatment of LSS with NC.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Rate of surgical, minimally invasive intervention. [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    Measure the rate of Medicare beneficiary surgical and minimally invasive intervention for LSS with NC post index procedure.

  2. Rate of participants with harms associated with the index procedure [ Time Frame: 24 months ]
    Rate of participants with harms associated with the index procedure including, but not limited to, revisions, displacement, mechanical complications, and death. Complications will be counted if they are recorded during the index hospitalization, or any rehospitalization within 30 days of discharge.
