ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Parkinson disease (PD) is a risk factor for worse surgical outcomes. The degree to which PD affects outcomes in cervical spine surgery is not well understood. Therefore, we characterize rates of postoperative complications among patients with PD who undergo cervical spine surgery. METHODS: Using the PearlDiver database, we identified patients who underwent 1-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), posterior cervical fusion (PCF), or discectomy/decompression with concomitant PD between 2011 and 2019. Patients with PD who underwent surgery and had 1 year follow-up were included. Complications 30, 60, and 90 days after surgery were identified and aggregated into body systems (e.g., respiratory and gastrointestinal). Comparison controls without concomitant PD who received cervical spine (C-spine) surgery were matched for age, sex, and comorbidities. RESULTS: A total of 259,443 ACDFs, 30,929 PCFs, and 29,563 decompressions were identified. Of these procedures, 1117 were performed on patients with PD (0.35%). The highest 90-day complications rates in patients with PD were pulmonary and gastrointestinal related (6.05%) in those who received ACDF, neuro related (8.51%) in those who received PCF, and genitourinary related (8.76%) in those who received a decompression. Compared with patients without PD, postoperative complications rates were similar and not significantly different. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with PD who receive ACDF have higher rates of pulmonary (6.05%), neurologic (5.24%), and psychiatric (3.23%) complications at 90 days. The differences did not reach statistical significance. This finding suggests that patients with PD do not experience higher rates of acute postoperative complications when undergoing 1-level cervical spine surgery.

ABSTRACT

STUDY DESIGN: This was a retrospective database study. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate preoperative risk factors and incidence of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) after cervical spine surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: VTEs are preventable complications that may occur after spinal procedures. Globally, VTEs account for a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Preoperative risks factors associated with increased VTE incidence after cervical spine surgery have not been well-characterized. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF); posterior cervical fusion (PCF); discectomy; and decompression from 2007 to 2017 were identified using the PearlDiver Database. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) Ninth and 10th Revision codes were used to identify VTEs at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperative as well as preoperative risk factors. RESULTS: Risk factors with the highest incidence of VTE at 3 months were primary coagulation disorder [ACDF=7.82%, odds ratio (OR)=3.96; decompression=11.24%, OR=3.03], central venous line (ACDF=5.68%, OR=2.11; PCF=12.58%, OR=2.27; decompression=10.17%, OR=2.80) and extremity paralysis (ACDF=6.59%, OR=2.73; PCF=18.80%, OR=2.99; decompression=11.86, OR=3.74). VTE incidence at 3 months for populations with these risks was significant for all surgery types (P<0.001) with the exception of patients with primary coagulation disorder who underwent PCF. Tobacco use had the lowest VTE incidence for all surgery types. CONCLUSIONS: The total cumulative incidence of VTEs at 3-month follow-up was 3.10%, with the highest incidence of VTEs occurring within the first postoperative week (0.65% at 1 wk, 0.61% at 1 mo, 0.53% at 3 mo for ACDF; 2.56% at 1 wk, 1.93% at 1 mo, 1.45% at 3 mo for PCF; 1.37% at 1 wk, 0.93% at 1 mo, 0.91% at 3 mo for decompression). Several preoperative risk factors were found to be significant predictors for postoperative VTEs and can be used to suggest those at increased risk as well as decrease the incidence of preventable VTEs after cervical spine surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.
