Vitamin D Levels and Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients After Vertebroplasty

A retrospective study of 609 elderly patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures treated with percutaneous vertebroplasty between January 2021 and December 2024. The dataset likely contains longitudinal pain and functional disability scores, categorized by preoperative vitamin D status, to evaluate associations with postoperative recovery.

Use Cases

• Analyze longitudinal changes in pain scores based on Visual Analog Scale (VAS) measurements.
• Model functional recovery trajectories using Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores.
• Investigate the association between preoperative serum vitamin D levels and postoperative clinical outcomes.
• Train predictive models for patient recovery based on baseline vitamin D status.

Strengths

• Dataset includes 609 patient records.
• Longitudinal data with measurements at four time points: preoperative, day 1, 1 month, and 1 year.
• Clinical outcomes are assessed using two standardized metrics (VAS and ODI).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the single-center retrospective study design.
