Validation of a surgical invasiveness index in patients with lumbar spinal disorders registered in the Spine Tango registry
Holzer E, Aghayev E, ORiordan D, Fekete T, Jeszenszky D, Haschtmann D, et al.
Eur Spine J . 2020 Nov; 30(1):1-12. PMID: 33231779

Development of the "Core Yellow Flags Index" (CYFI) as a brief instrument for the assessment of key psychological factors in patients undergoing spine surgery
Mannion A, Mariaux F, Reitmeir R, Fekete T, Haschtmann D, Loibl M, et al.
Eur Spine J . 2020 Jun; 29(8):1935-1952. PMID: 32556625
