This summary is machine-generated.

Multi-level posterior spinal instrumentation has significant short-term complication rates, with longer procedures and delays in surgery increasing risks. Timely intervention and preoperative counseling are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

Spine Surgery
Orthopedics
Neurosurgery

Background:

Multi-level posterior segmental spinal instrumentation procedures have seen a significant increase.
Short-term outcomes following these complex surgeries require further generalization.
Understanding risk factors is crucial for patient safety and surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate 30-day outcomes after multi-level posterior segmental spinal instrumentation.
To identify patient and procedural factors associated with adverse events.
To highlight profiles and associations related to short-term complications.

Main Methods:

Utilized the ACS-NSQIP database from 2014-2023.
Included patients undergoing multi-level posterior segmental instrumentation, excluding complex cases.

Keywords:

Adverse event Complication Infection Multi-level NSQIP Posterior Threshold

Analyzed any adverse event (AAE) rates using descriptive statistics, logistic regression, and threshold analyses.

Main Results:

24% of 1348 patients experienced any adverse event (AAE).
Factors associated with AAE included older age, male sex, cancer, longer admission-to-operation intervals, and longer operative times.
Longer spinal constructs (7+ levels) significantly increased AAE odds compared to medium constructs (3-6 levels).

Conclusions:

Multi-level posterior segmental spinal instrumentation is associated with notable short-term complication rates.
Timely operative intervention and targeted preoperative counseling may reduce adverse events.
Further research is needed to fully elucidate these associations and optimize patient care.
