Abstract:
Summary. In order to evaluate the quality assurance study for patients suffering from lumbar nerve root compression a checklist has been developed according to quality assurance criteria and formal aspects. Together with the study data of the years 1993-1998 and a critical literature review each item of the quality assurance form has been evaluated. It is obvious that outcome oriented quality assurance of this entity is insufficient without assessment of the late outcome.
