Methods The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was queried to identify ACDF 2016 2022. After exclusions, were divided into OSA control groups. Propensity score matching (1:2) controlled for age, sex, obesity, year of surgery...

Recent studies have questioned the efficacy of meniscectomy in older patients with and without evidence osteoarthritis; however, it continues to be frequently performed. There is limited information about age other risk factors for adverse events readmission after procedure. This knowledge vital understand true profile this common surgery.To investigate if medical comorbidities were postoperative meniscectomy.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.Patients who underwent arthroscopic between...

Objective To compare the perioperative morbidity of 2-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) with that 1-level corpectomy (ACCF) for treatment degenerative conditions.

This is a retrospective cohort study.To compare the infection rates in Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) morbidity and mortality database to those American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database.Surgical databases have demonstrated value orthopaedic surgery. However, few studies literature used SRS relative other available databases. To validate surgeon-reported data database, we compared rate postoperative this that chart-abstracted ACS-NSQIP...

Retrospective cohort study.To compare the short-term outcomes for patients undergoing cervical laminoplasty versus posterior decompression and fusion multilevel pathology.There are conflicting data regarding merits of treatment pathology.Patients who underwent or were identified in American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2010 to 2012. Baseline patient characteristics compared using bivariate logistic regression. Propensity-adjusted...

Previous studies about osteosarcoma patient characteristics, management, and outcomes have limited numbers, combine varied tumor types, and/or are older studies.Patients with from the 2004 to 2015 National Cancer Database data sets were separated into axial, appendicular, other. Demographic treatment as well 1-, 5-, 10-year survival determined for each group. A multivariate Cox analysis of variables likelihood death was performed, Kaplan Meier curves generated.Four thousand four hundred...

Retrospective cohort study.To identify factors that are independently associated with increased surgical drain output in patients who have undergone ACDF.Surgical drains typically placed after ACDF to reduce the risk of complications neck hematoma. The orthopedic literature has repeatedly challenged use many procedures, and there currently no guidelines for determining which most likely benefit from placement ACDF.Consecutive underwent elective at a single academic institution between...

Aims While use of large national clinical databases for orthopaedic trauma research has increased dramatically, there been little study the differences in populations contained therein. In this we aimed to compare patients with femoral shaft fractures across three commonly used databases, specifically regard age and comorbidities. Patients Methods were identified Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) Trauma Data Bank (NTDB). Results The...

Objective: The objective this to characterize and assess trends in Open Payments Database (OPD) industry payments reported orthopedic spine surgeons from 2014 2017. Summary Background Data: There have been lack studies characterizing OPD over the 4 full years data available. Materials Methods: General made 2017 were characterized by year with analysis of: number compensated surgeons, median payment per surgeon, top...

The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic disease has imposed an unprecedented degree of stress on healthcare systems. This study aimed to understand whether COVID-19 positivity is associated with increased risk adverse outcomes after geriatric hip fracture surgery.From a national administrative claims data set, patients who underwent surgery from April 1, 2020, December 2020 were selected for analysis. COVID-19-positive status was assessed by the emergency International Classification...

Osteoporosis is ubiquitous in elderly populations, such as those undergoing ACDF. Short- and longer-term outcomes might be affected the setting of osteoporosis related to graft subsidence, bony union, stresses on adjacent segments. Better understanding potential correlation after ACDF affect patient counseling surgical planning. The current study compares 90-day adverse events 5-year reoperations following single-level anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) between patients with without...

Retrospective database review.To evaluate whether microscope use during spine procedures is associated with increased operating room times or risk of infection.Operating microscopes are commonly used in procedures. It debated the an increases time confers infection.The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database, which includes data from more than 370 participating hospitals, was to identify patients undergoing elective spinal and without for years 2011...
