Lumbar discectomy outcomes vary by herniation level in the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial
Lurie J, Faucett S, Hanscom B, Tosteson T, Ball P, Abdu W, et al.
J Bone Joint Surg Am . 2008 Sep; 90(9):1811-9. PMID: 18762639
Background: The Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial showed an overall advantage for operative compared with nonoperative treatment of lumbar disc herniations. Because a recent randomized trial showed no benefit for...

An observational study of the frequency and pattern of use of epidural steroid injection in 25,479 patients with spinal and radicular pain
Fanciullo G, Hanscom B, Seville J, Ball P, Rose R
Reg Anesth Pain Med . 2001 Feb; 26(1):5-11. PMID: 11172504
Background And Objectives: Frequency of epidural steroid injections (ESI) and characteristics of patients receiving them are unknown or poorly described. Patients believed to respond better to ESI include young or...

Designing an ambulatory clinical practice for outcomes improvement: from vision to reality--the Spine Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, year one
Weinstein J, Brown P, Hanscom B, Walsh T, Nelson E
Qual Manag Health Care . 2000 May; 8(2):1-20. PMID: 10787504
Development of a new program for diagnosis and treatment of spine-related problems provided a unique opportunity to design and implement a new model for delivery of health care incorporating outcomes...

Population-based prediction equations for neurobehavioral tests
Kilburn K, Thornton J, Hanscom B
Arch Environ Health . 1998 Aug; 53(4):257-63. PMID: 9709989
Quantitative assessment of neurobehavioral function appraises brain injury from inhaled chemicals. Contemporary predicted values for tests useful in epidemiological studies have been developed with step-wise linear regression. In instances in...

A field method for blink reflex latency R-1 (BRL R-1) and prediction equations for adults and children
Kilburn K, Thornton J, Hanscom B
Electromyogr Clin Neurophysiol . 1998 Apr; 38(1):25-31. PMID: 9532430
Purpose: To develop a field worthy apparatus for blink reflex latency R-1 (BRL R-1), to compare mechanical and electrical stimulation, to define a standardized measurement of BRL R-1, to test...

Balance measured by head (and trunk) tracking and a force platform in chemically (PCB and TCE) exposed and referent subjects
Kilburn K, Warshaw R, Hanscom B
Occup Environ Med . 1994 Jun; 51(6):381-5. PMID: 8044229
To determine comparability of methods, postural sway was measured simultaneously with a force platform and a device that registers head (and trunk) movements (head tracking). The effects of age, sex,...

A reproducible trigger for the measurement of trigeminal latencies elicited by a glabellar tap
Warshaw R, Hanscom B, Kilburn K
Environ Res . 1993 Feb; 60(2):328-31. PMID: 8472662
In order to develop a screening test of trigeminal latencies which could be used in the field, a stimulator which delivered a "tap" consisting of a focused puff of air...

Are hearing loss and balance dysfunction linked in construction iron workers?
Kilburn K, Warshaw R, Hanscom B
Br J Ind Med . 1992 Feb; 49(2):138-41. PMID: 1536822
The objective was to determine whether an association existed between hearing loss and balance dysfunction in construction workers exposed to noise. Screening pure tone audiometry and balance testing were performed...
