Research on yttrium-admixed GSAG:Ce scintillators reveals that the stoichiometric composition enhances the light yield and reduces thermal quenching. It paves the way towards advanced cost-effective alternatives to GGAG:Ce scintillators.- Book : 15(3)

Study Design Systematic review and clinimetric analysis. Objectives Frailty and sarcopenia predict worse surgical outcomes among spinal degenerative and deformity-related populations; this association is less clear in the context of spinal oncology. Here, we sought to identify frailty and sarcopenia tools applied in spinal oncology and appraise their clinimetric properties. Methods A systematic review was conducted from January 1st, 2000, until June 2022. Study characteristics, frailty tools, and measures of sarcopenia were recorded. Component domains, individual items, cut-off values, and measurement techniques were collected. Clinimetric assessment was performed according to Consensus-based Standards for Health Measurement Instruments. Results Twenty-two studies were included (42 514 patients). Seventeen studies utilized 6 frailty tools; the three most employed were the Metastatic Spine tumor Frailty Index (MSTFI), Modified Frailty Index-11 (mFI-11), and the mFI-5. Eight studies utilized measures of sarcopenia; the three most common were the L3-Total Psoas Area (TPA)/Vertebral Body Area (VBA), L3-TPA/Height2, and L3-Spinal Muscle Index (L3-Cross-Sectional Muscle Area/Height2). Frailty and sarcopenia measures lacked or had uncertain content and construct validity. Frailty measures were objective except the Johns-Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups. All tools were feasible except the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS). Positive predictive validity was observed for the HFRS and in select studies employing the mFI-5, MSTFI, and L3-TPA/VBA. All frailty tools had floor or ceiling effects. Conclusions Existing tools for evaluating frailty and sarcopenia among patients undergoing surgery for spinal tumors have poor clinimetric properties. Here, we provide a pragmatic approach to utilizing existing frailty and sarcopenia tools, until more clinimetrically robust instruments are developed. - Book : 15(1_suppl)
