Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adult patients who have not opposed use of their medical data and who are candidates for their first lumbar spine surgery, whether instrumented or not, are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients with known, well-managed diabetes or those undergoing non-instrumented percutaneous procedures, revision surgery, or surgery for infection or tumor are unlikely to gain new benefit from this screening.

What this trial studies

This is a prospective, longitudinal, single-center observational project enrolling adults who are candidates for their first lumbar spine operation. Participants undergo routine preoperative fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measurements and complete standard self-administered questionnaires, with all data collected during regularly scheduled consultations. No additional tests are imposed, and the study does not change clinical management or the physician–patient relationship. Collected data will be used to estimate the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes in this surgical population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could uncover undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes in spine surgery candidates, allowing clinicians to optimize perioperative glucose management and potentially reduce complications.

How similar studies have gone: Similar hospital-based screening efforts have previously identified substantial rates of undiagnosed diabetes or prediabetes in surgical populations, supporting the usefulness of this approach.
