Psoriatic arthritis increases the risk of venous thromboembolism following degenerative lumbar spine surgery: An analysis of U.S. Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2005-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This retrospective study aimed to determine the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with PsA after surgery for lumbar degenerative disease (LDD).

Methods

The study data of adults aged ≥20 years admitted to U.S. hospitals with diagnoses of LDD and undergoing spinal decompression or fusion between 2005 and 2018 were extracted from the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. Patients were further divided into two groups based on a diagnosis of PsA or not via codes ICD-9: 696.0 and ICD-10: L40.50. Patients with missing information were excluded. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to enhance comparability between groups. Logistic regression was used to determine associations between PsA and various outcomes, including complications, unfavorable
