Evaluation of the SITE score for de-novo spinal infection patients in clinical practice – A case-based approach Open
We found acceptably high interobserver values for the SITE score only for spine surgeons and non-spine surgeons with frequent exposure to DNSI. The reliability of the score was much lower when applied by physicians from other specialties w…
