- W2970199090 abstract "Motor evoked potentials (MEPs) have excellent sensitivity for monitoring the functional integrity of the lateral corticospinal tract of the spinal cord. The sensitivity for nerve root function, however, is not as well established; consequently, MEPs are often not utilized for posterior extradural spine procedures distal to the conus. Spontaneous electromyography (sEMG) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are often included for these procedures, but their limited sensitivity has been well documented. Given the risk of motor nerve root injuries during spine procedures, and specifically increased vulnerability of the L4 and L5 nerves, the sensitivity of MEPs was evaluated for diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic impact.To determine the diagnostic sensitivity of MEPs during lumbosacral spine procedures and the potential therapeutic impact of the resolution of MEP alerts.A total of 4,386 posterior extradural lumbosacral spine procedures utilizing multimodality intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) with sEMG, SSEPs, and MEPs were abstracted from a multi-institutional database. All cases took place between October 2015 and October 2017. No external funding was provided.Sensitivity and specificity, as well as positive and negative likelihood ratios for new postoperative neurologic deficits were calculated for each modality individually as well as when combined (multimodality).Age 18 and older METHODS: Data entered in the electronic medical record were analyzed. Alerts to sEMG activity, decreases in SSEP amplitude, or decreases in MEP amplitude were documented as well as the status of the alerts at closure: resolved or unresolved. The presence of an sEMG alert or an unresolved MEP or SSEP alert at closure was considered a positive diagnostic result, and these results were assessed relative to presence of new immediate onset neurologic deficits as documented in the electronic record.The sensitivity and specificity of multimodality IONM for new immediate-onset lower extremity motor deficits were 100.0% (95% confidence interval: [64.6, 100.0]) and 92.2% (91.1, 93.1), respectively. Looking at the modalities in isolation, the sensitivity of MEPs was considerably better than either lower extremity sEMG or posterior tibial nerve SSEPs: 100.0% (78.5, 100.0) versus just 14.3% (4.0, 39.9) and 28.6% (8.2, 64.1), respectively. Surprisingly, the specificity of lower extremity MEPs was better than sEMG, 97.9% (97.5, 98.3) versus 95.4% (94.7, 96.0) (χ2=43.0, p<.001). The specificity of lower extremity SSEPs was 99.0% (98.5, 99.3). Only 4.4% of all procedures had a lower extremity MEP alert. There were 14 significant new nerve root injuries and all 14 had unresolved MEPs at closure. Total 85.7% of those nerve root injuries were dorsiflexion foot drop injuries and all had unresolved tibialis anterior MEP alerts. Although the overall rate of nerve root injuries was 0.32% (14/4,386), the rate for procedures with unresolved isolated tibialis anterior MEP alerts was 44.4% (12/27). The therapeutic impact is evident in the 2.0% of cases (87/4,386) with lower extremity MEP alerts that were able to be fully resolved by closure and for which the rate of injury was zero.The diagnostic accuracy of MEPs for anterior tibialis-related nerve root dysfunction supports the inclusion of this modality during routine posterior extradural lumbosacral procedures, especially when the L4 or L5 nerve roots are at risk. Moreover, therapeutic interventions that lead to the resolution of MEP alerts avert postoperative neurologic injuries." @default.
