Content Analysis Information about Clinical and Beam Diagnostics of Injuries and Degenerative Diseases of the Cervical Spine (a Review of the Literature)
Abstract
The purpose of the review is to analyze scientific information on clinical and beam diagnosis of degenerative diseases and injuries of the cervical spine. Used traditional qualitative method and content analysis for the study of 316 sources of scientific information, of which 77,5 % during the last 5 years. We selected 2 groups for the content analysis: 1) common clinical signs in syndromic contour of diseases and injuries of the spine, 2) beam diagnosis of spinal pathology. Defined a meaningful unit of analysis. In the literature quite fully consecrated to different aspects of modern methods of beam diagnostics of diseases and injuries of the spine (101 (32 %) domestic and 111 (35,1 %) from foreign sources), and their clinical manifestations (63 (19,9 %) and 41 (13 %) sources respectively). The majority of publications is devoted to the comprehensive assessment of patients (72 (34 %) of the source), sufficient attention is paid to methods of CT and MR tomography, ultrasonic research (39 (18,4 %), 38 (17,9 %) and 43 (20,3 %) respectively) and the lowest number of publications covering the Х-rays (20 (9,4 %) of sources). The use of content analysis allows for a quantitative evaluation of available scientific information and highlight the most promising directions in the diagnosis.
