: Like most Swedish quality registers, the Swespine Registry employs an opt-out method for patient participation. This means that data can be collected and automatically used from the registry unless a patient actively dissents. Answering the patient-reported outcome questionnaires is voluntary. The study complied with the ethical considerations of the Helsinki Declaration and was approved by the Regional Ethical Review Board in Stockholm; 2012/206/31 − 1, 2018/2746-32, 2020/00193, and 2021/04773.
