The Effect of Osteoporosis on Complications and Reoperation Rates After Surgical Management of Adult Thoracolumbar Spinal Deformity: A Systematic Review and Meta Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Study design

Systematic Review.

Objectives

While substantial research has explored the impact of osteoporosis on patients undergoing adult spinal deformity (ASD) correction, the literature remains inconclusive. As such, the purpose of this study is to synthesize and analyze existing studies pertaining to osteoporosis as a predictor of postoperative outcomes in ASD surgery.

Methods

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effect that a diagnosis of osteoporosis, based on ICD-10 coding, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) or computed tomography, has on the incidence of adverse outcomes following surgical correction of ASD. Statistical analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (Version 2) using a random effects model to accou
