Development of a clinical prediction score for perioperative complications following metastatic spinal surgery (PERCOM) score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spinal metastases can impair mobility, worsening the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS). Surgery for spinal metastases has the potential to improve KPS and extend prognosis, but it is crucial to recognize the elevated risk of perioperative complications. Therefore, the development of a new scoring system to accurately predict perioperative complications in spinal metastatic surgery is essential.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective observational study with 86 patients who underwent surgical intervention for spinal metastases. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of perioperative complications within 14 days after surgery. Various factors related to perioperative complications were assessed through univariate and multivariate analy
