Summary

Black patients undergoing spinal tumor surgery face higher risks of minor complications and longer hospital stays compared to non-Hispanic White patients. Major complication rates were similar between racial groups, highlighting disparities in perioperative morbidity.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Health Disparities Research

Background:

  • Spinal tumor surgery carries inherent risks of perioperative complications.
  • Understanding racial disparities in surgical outcomes is crucial for equitable healthcare.
  • Previous research has not fully elucidated race-based differences in outcomes following spinal tumor surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of race on the incidence of complications after spinal tumor surgery.
  • To compare minor and major complication rates between Black and non-Hispanic White (NHW) patients undergoing spinal tumor surgery.
  • To identify if race is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study utilizing the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database (2012-2016).
  • Inclusion of adult patients who underwent spinal tumor surgery.
  • Comparison of Clavien-Dindo Grade I-II (minor) and Grade III-V (major) complications, including 30-day mortality, between NHW and Black patients, with multivariable analysis.

Main Results:

  • Black patients (14.1%) had a significantly higher rate of minor complications (23.1% vs. 15.1%, P=.008) and longer median length of stay (10 vs. 8 days, P=.011) compared to NHW patients (85.9%).
  • Multivariable analysis indicated Black race was associated with increased odds of minor complications (OR 1.87; P=.010).
  • No significant difference was observed in the rate of major complications (16.2% vs. 12.5%, P=.187) or independent association with Black race (OR 1.26; P=.430).

Conclusions:

  • Black patients undergoing spinal tumor surgery experience significantly higher rates of minor perioperative morbidity and extended hospital stays compared to NHW patients.
  • Race was not found to be an independent predictor of major complications following spinal tumor surgery.
  • Further research into racial disparities in metastatic spine disease is warranted to improve patient care and outcomes.
