ABSTRACT:

Study design

Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objectives

To evaluate the impact of race on post-operative outcomes and complications following elective spine surgery in the United States.

Methods

PUBMED, MEDLINE(R), ERIC, EMBASE, and SCOPUS were searched for studies documenting peri-operative events for White and African American (AA) patients following elective spine surgery. Pooled odds ratios were calculated for each 90-day outcome and meta-analyses were performed for 4 peri-operative events and 7 complication categories. Sub-analyses were performed for each outcome on single institution (SI) studies and works that included <100,000 patients.

Results

53 studies (5,589,069 patients, 9.8% AA) were included. Eleven included >100,000 patients. AA patients ha
