- BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Disc-related sciatica has a prevalence of about 2% in adults, but is rare in adolescents. If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, surgery is an option. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of surgery for lumbar disc herniation in adolescents with adults in the Swedish Spine Register. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: This is a prospective observational study: National Quality Register. PATIENT SAMPLE: This study included 151 patients, 18 years or younger, 4,386 patients, 19-39 years, and 6,078 patients, 40 years or older, followed for 1-2 years after surgery. OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes were patient satisfaction and global assessment of leg and back pain. Secondary outcomes were Visual Analog Scale ( VAS) leg pain, VAS back pain, Oswestry disability index (ODI), and EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D). METHODS: Statistical analyses were performed with the Welch F test, the chi-square test, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. RESULTS: At follow-up, 86% of the adolescents were satisfied compared with 78% in the younger adults and 76% in the older adults group (p < .001). According to the global assessment, significantly decreased leg pain was experienced by 87% of the adolescents, 78% of the younger adults, and 71% of the older adults (p < .001). Corresponding figures for back pain were 88%, 73%, and 70%, respectively (p < .001). All groups experienced significant postoperative improvement of VAS leg pain, VAS back pain, ODI, and EQ-5D (all p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The adolescent age group was more satisfied with the treatment than the adult groups. There was a significant improvement in all age groups after surgery.
