Retrospective cohort study.To determine if polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or titanium alloy cages increase the rate of pseudarthrosis development revision surgery compared with structural allograft following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) identify cage type results in differences patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) versus allograft.PEEK have become popular options for ACDF intervertebral spacers. However, while data is beginning to emerge on how types affect arthrodesis...
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study. Objective: To determine hospital length of stay (LOS) and long-term opioid consumption among patients who received inpatient multimodal analgesia following lumbar spine surgery, as opposed to those opioids alone. Summary Background Data: Opioids have long been the historical choice for managing postoperative pain. The use has become more commonplace in recent years it is thought achieve similar levels pain control while simultaneously diminishing...
Introduction: The risks and benefits of extending posterior cervical decompression fusion (PCDF) constructs across the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ) remain controversial. Previous studies have used fusions beginning at different levels varying in construct length. There are no that examine effect crossing CTJ on opioid consumption. This study aims to compare short-term long-term postoperative outcomes among patients undergoing PCDF C3 ending C7, T1, or T2. Methods: Adult who underwent...
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), can spread rapidly in nursing homes once it is introduced (1,2). To prevent outbreaks, more data are needed to identify sources of introduction and means transmission within homes. Nursing home residents who receive hemodialysis (dialysis) might be at higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infections because their frequent exposures outside both community dialysis patients staff members centers (3). Investigation a COVID-19 outbreak...
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.Purpose: The primary objective of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for incidental durotomies during lumbar decompression surgeries. In addition, we aimed changes in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) based on durotomy status.Overview Literature: There is limited literature investigating affect patient reported measures. While majority research does not suggest differences complications, readmission, or revision rates,...
Restrictive transfusion practices have decreased transfusions in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). A hemoglobin threshold of <8 g/dL is commonly used. Predictors this degree postoperative anemia TJA and its association with outcomes, independent transfusions, remain unclear. We identified predictors outcomes without TJA.Primary elective cases performed a multimodal blood management protocol from 2017 to 2018 were reviewed, identifying 1,583 cases. Preoperative variables compared between...
Retrospective cohort.The aim was to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) when categorizing patients based on socioeconomic status. Secondarily, we sought PROMs race.Social determinants of health are believed affect outcomes spine surgery, but there is limited literature how combined status metrics ACDF.The authors identified who underwent primary elective one-level four-level ACDF from 2014 2020. Patients were grouped...
Retrospective cohort study.The purpose of this study is to compare patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for patients undergoing one-to three-level lumbar fusion using robotically assisted vs freehand pedicle screw placement.Patients who underwent either or placement surgery from January 1, 2014 August 31, 2020 at a single academic institution were identified. Propensity score matching was performed based on demographic variables. Clinical and surgical outcomes compared between groups....
Retrospective cohort study.To determine whether: (1) patients from communities of socioeconomic distress have higher readmission rates or postoperative healthcare resource utilization and (2) there are differences in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) based on distress.Socioeconomic disparities affect health outcomes, but little evidence exists demonstrating the impact PROMs.A retrospective review was performed who underwent lumbar fusion at a single tertiary academic center January...
A retrospective cohort study.To determine if depression and/or anxiety significantly affect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after posterior cervical decompression and fusion (PCDF).Mental health diagnoses are receiving increased recognition for their influence of outcomes spine surgery. The magnitude that mental disorders contribute to following PCDF requires awareness understanding.A review electronic medical records identified patients who underwent a at single institution during...
The study design is a retrospective cohort study.To compare patient-reported outcomes between patients with mild versus moderate-to-severe myelopathy following surgery for cervical spondylotic (CSM).Recent studies have demonstrated that decompression CSM leads to improved quality of life when measured by outcomes. However, it unknown if preoperative classification predictive superior postoperative improvements.A review treated surgically at single institution from 2014 2015 was performed....
