Objectives Main pathologies, n=252 93.7% 71.4% 52.8% 8.3% Subpopulation analysis, n=180 To investigate whether primary and secondary outcomes of MILIF for DLD were different between: Patients with stenosis (n=180) vs patients without stenosis (n=72) Stenotic patients with decompression (n=142) vs Stenotic patients indirect decompression (n=38) Spondylolisthesis Disc pathology Other 133 180 236 21 Primary dataset from a multicenter 1-year prospective observational study (MASTERSD; NCT01143324) Primary Outcomes Time needed for first ambulation (days) Time to post-surgical recovery (days) Clinical Secondary Outcomes (baseline to 4 weeks and 12 months) ODI pre/post-surgery VAS leg pain VAS back pain Medians and Interquartile ranges (IQR) are shown; Statistics: Mann Whitney U-test
Primary endpoints: No stenosis vs with decompression vs indirect decompression patients take longer to recover (2 days) but the majority of patients ambulate within 1 day
Primary endpoints: with decompression vs indirect decompression Indirectly decompressed patients take longer to recover but both patient groups ambulate within a day
Secondary Clinical endpoints vs Non- patients Higher VAS Leg Pain scores in patients at baseline (p=0.0014) Equally low VAS Leg Pain scores in versus Non- patients at 12-months Difference of VAS Leg pain between Stenosi s No Bl and 4w 3.9 3.0 0.0784 Bl and 12m 5.0 3.0 0.0185 p Change from baseline to 4 w and 12 mo was more pronounced in patients (p=0.0185) Mann-Whitney U-test; n.s. = not significant
Secondary Clinical endpoints vs Non- patients ODI VAS Back pain Difference of ODI between No stenosis p Difference of VAS Back pain between No p Bl and 4w 12.0 7.3 0.0824 Bl and 12m 22.2 16.9 0.0642 Bl and 4w 3.0 4.0 0.8085 Bl and 12m 3.0 4.0 0.8280 There was a trend of higher ODI improvement in the stenosis group, however this was not statistically significant Decompression vs Indirect decompression No statistical differences among the subgroups stenosis decompression x indirect decompression from baseline to 4 weeks and 12 months in regards to ODI, VAS Leg pain nor VAS back pain

General Conclusions Stenotic patients suffer more leg pain at baseline Decompression improves the surgery recovery MILIF and Better improvement of leg pain Low morbidity
