Aim To use the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) to investigate impact of frailty on complication rates and healthcare resource utilization in patients who underwent endovascular treatment ruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed using 2016–2019 National Inpatient Sample database. All adult (≥18 years) undergoing for IAs after subarachnoid hemorrhage were identified ICD-10-CM codes. Patients categorized into cohorts: low (HFRS <5),...
The Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) is a metric that measures frailty among patients in large national datasets using ICD-10 codes. While other metrics have been utilized to demonstrate the association between and poor outcomes spine oncology, none examined HFRS. aim of this study was investigate impact HFRS on complications, length stay, cost admission, discharge disposition undergoing surgery for primary tumors spinal cord meninges.
Background: Malnutrition is a common condition that may exacerbate many medical and surgical pathologies. However, few have studied the impact of malnutrition on outcomes for patients undergoing surgery metastatic disease spine. This study aims to evaluate perioperative complications healthcare resource utilization following treatment spinal metastases. Methods: We conducted retrospective cohort using 2011-2019 American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database....
Background/Objectives: Chordomas are rare primary osseous tumors of the spine and skull base that may portend significant morbidity mortality. Gender disparities in management outcomes spinal pelvic chordomas have been sparsely studied. This study aimed to examine effect gender on treatment utilization patients with vertebral column sacrum/pelvis chordomas. Methods: A retrospective cohort was performed using 2000 2020 Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results (SEER) Registry, a U.S....
Study Design. A cross-sectional study was performed using the National Institutes of Health All Us survey database. Objective. The aim this to assess socioeconomic and racial disparities in perception personal health, health literacy, healthcare access among spine oncology patients. Summary Background Data. Racial, ethnic, literacy status have been described for many disease processes. However, few studies assessed prevalence these Methods. Adult patients, identified ICD-9/10-CM codes, were...
Arthroplasty procedures are commonly performed and contribute to healthcare expenditures seen in the United States. Surgical team members may make selections among implants materials without always knowing their relative cost. The current study reports on a survey aimed investigate perceptions of an academic group about cost value used operating room related joint arthroplasty cases using 10 matched pairs items. Of 124 persons eligible take survey, 102 responded (response rate 82.3%)...
Introduction: Frailty has been shown to negatively influence patient outcomes across many disease processes, including in the cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) population. The aim of this study was assess impact that frailty on patients with CSM who undergo anterior discectomy and fusion (ACDF) or posterior decompression (PCDF). Materials Methods: A retrospective cohort performed using 2016–2019 national inpatient sample. Adult (≥18 years old) undergoing ACDF only PCDF for were...
Background Complete clot ingestion (CCI) is defined as full of the into catheter or pump canister without any external remnants at tip. The aim this study was to demonstrate that using CCI metric in vitro, partially ingested (‘corked’) clots pose a higher risk distal emboli given may exist setting Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 3 (TICI 3) revascularization. Methods Thrombectomies an vitro synthetic analog were conducted across six catheters novel ALGO Smart Pump with Adaptive Pulsatile...
Study Design. Observational cohort study. Objective. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between safety-net hospital (SNH) status and length stay (LOS), cost, discharge disposition in patients undergoing surgery for metastatic spinal column tumors. Summary Background Data. SNHs serve a high proportion Medicaid uninsured patients. However, few studies have assessed effects SNH on outcomes after Patients Methods. This performed using 2016-2019 Nationwide Inpatient Sample...
Insurance disparities have been suggested to influence the medical and surgical outcomes of adult patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a paucity studies demonstrating their impact on pediatric adolescent SCI patients. The aim this study was assess insurance status healthcare utilization in presenting SCI.An administrative database performed using 2017 admission year from 753 facilities National Trauma Data Bank. Adolescent (11-17 years old) cervical/thoracic SCIs were identified...
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS)/Congress (CNS) Joint Spine Section awards highlight outstanding abstracts submitted to the AANS/CNS on Disorders and Peripheral Nerves by trainees interested in spine surgery, although academic trajectory awardees has not been studied. aim this study was assess career progression prior recipients Journalistic Academic Neurosurgical Excellence (JANE), Mayfield, Kuntz research awards.
INTRODUCTION: Few prior studies have addressed the impact of safety-net hospital (SNH) status on outcomes following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) or posterior decompression (PCDF) for spondylotic myelopathy (CSM). METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed using 2016–2019 National Inpatient Sample Database. All adult patients (>18 years old) undergoing elective ACDF PCDF CSM, identified ICD-10-CM coding, were stratified into SNH non-SNH (N-SNH) cohorts. Hospitals...
