Frailty negatively affects outcome in elective spine surgery populations. This study sought to determine the effect of frailty on patient after traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI). Patients with tSCI were identified from our prospectively collected database 2004 2016. We examined age, admission Total Motor Score (TMS), and Modified Index (mFI) adverse events (AEs), acute length stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, discharge destination (home vs. other). Subgroup analysis (for three age groups:...
OBJECTIVE Postoperative length of stay (LOS) significantly contributes to healthcare costs and resource utilization. The primary goal this study was identify patient, clinical, surgical, institutional variables that influence LOS after elective surgery for degenerative conditions the cervical spine. secondary objectives were examine variability in practices used decrease LOS. METHODS This a multicenter observational retrospective cohort patients enrolled Canadian Spine Outcomes Research...
Retrospective observational cohort study.
<h3>Background:</h3> Current measures to prevent spinal surgical site infection (SSI) lack compliance and lead antimicrobial resistance. We aimed examine the effectiveness of bundled preoperative intranasal photodynamic disinfection therapy (nPDT) chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) body wipes in prophylaxis spine SSIs adults, as well determine our institutional savings attributable use this strategy identify adverse events reported with nPDT–CHG. <h3>Methods:</h3> performed a 14-year prospective...
Background and Objectives: Spine surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative medical adverse events (AEs). Many these are considered “minor” though their cost effect on outcome may be underestimated. We sought to examine the clinical cost-effectiveness quality improvement (QI) care bundle in mitigating AEs adult surgical spine patients. Methods: collected 14-year prospective observational interrupted time series (ITS) two historical cohorts: 2006 2008, pre-implementation QI...
OBJECTIVE The accurate identification and reporting of adverse events (AEs) is crucial for quality improvement. A myriad AE systems are utilized. There a lack understanding the differences between prospective versus retrospective, disease-specific generic, point-of-care chart-abstracted systems. objective this study was to compare benefits limitations prospective, disease-specific, Spine Adverse Events Severity System (SAVES) National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) AEs in adult...
