abstract = {To compare two validated spinal instability scores
regarding the stabilizing effects and skeletal-related
events (SREs) of palliative radiotherapy (RT) in patients
with spinal bone metastases (SBM).Two hundred eighty-two
osteolytic SBM of lung or breast cancer patients were
analyzed for stability before and following RT based on the
Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score (SINS) or the Taneichi
score. Score concordance was quantified by absolute
agreement and Cohen's kappa coefficient. SREs were defined
as fractures or local progression after RT. OS was
quantified as the time between the start of RT and death
from any cause.At 3 and 6 months after RT, 35 and $50\%$ of
initially unstable SBM were re-stabilized according to SINS
in patients still alive. Corresponding Taneichi score-based
stabilization proportions were 25 and $46\%,$ respectively.
Comparison of both stability scores showed high absolute
agreement for all time-points (range $71-78\%,$ kappa range
0.35-0.44). SRE occurred more frequently in initially
unstable SBM compared to stable SBM according to SINS (14
vs. $5\%),$ but no such association could be shown for the
Taneichi-based instability criterion. Poor general condition
of patients was negatively associated with SINS-measured
re-stabilization after 6 months, but no predictive factor
for re-stabilization could be found for the Taneichi
score.Despite the relatively high agreement between both
stabilization scores, the SINS should be considered the
standard for future studies on the stabilization effects of
RT in SBM.},
