Updating Prognostic Assessment for Spinal Metastases With a Combined Model of the Spinal Instability Neoplastic Score and the New Katagiri Score.

In the intermediate-risk group of the new Katagiri score, there was a clear trend toward choosing operative management as the SINS category indicated greater instability ( P = .0008) ( Supplemental Table 10 ).

Although SINS primarily measures spinal instability and its association with survival prognosis is unclear, our analysis showed a significant trend: the rate of mortality within 6 months increased as the SINS category progressed from stable (20.37%), to potentially unstable (22.97%), and to unstable (43.48%) ( P = .0311) ( Figure 2C , Table 3 ).
