A STAR Is Born: A New Tool in EBSJ 2021

摘要

In 2021, EBSJ will introduce a new evidence-based summary tool to assist spine surgeons in their clinical decision making, the Spine Treatment Appraisal Report (STAR). The purpose of the STAR is to provide a concise summary and critical appraisal of recent studies of interest in the spine surgery literature, evaluating their strengths and limitations. In doing so, it is the desire of the editorial staff to provide a clinical resource that provides important, relevant, and timely information to aid a busy spine surgeon.
