== Translational BAI is wrong based on n=400 study -- Eldask (talk) 08:16, August 19, 2019 (EDT) -- Eldask (talk) 08:16, August 19, 2019 (EDT) ==

I have growing concern regarding the work of the big 4 on CCI.

Henderson's work is being cited left and right with no fact checking, which is extremely dangerous considering the seriousness and impact of craniocervical arthrodesis.

This page states a translational BAI bigger than 2 or 4 as pathological, yet, a study referenced by Henderson (https://doi.org/10.2214/ajr.162.4.8141012) states "The excursion of the basion in flexion and extension ranged from 0 to 10 mm, but did not exceed the 12-mm limit of normal" on n=392 healthy subjects.

Though translational BAI below 10mm may in certain cases indeed be pathological, I strongly recommend amending that metric to reflect that objective study and not blurring the picture with metrics which are neither particularly sensitive or specific.
