Trends and disparities in the surgical management of spinal fractures in Sweden during 2008-2023.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spinal fractures are a group of complex injuries whose management varies according to a number of factors. The aim of this study was to analyze trends in the management of spinal fracture surgery in Sweden from 2008 to 2023 with a focus on disparities based on gender, surgery method, age and geographical location. A secondary aim was to predict future incidence of spinal fracture surgeries.

Methods

Comprehensive open source data was obtained from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. The data was stratified based on gender, surgery method, age and geographical location per year and analyzed for trends. Future trends were projected using regression modeling. The student's T-test was used to compare means.

Results
