Outcome of spine surgery in the context of spinal metastatic disease: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Spinal metastases are the third most common site of metastasis, with around 10% of cancer patients experiencing symptomatic spine involvement. Despite poor overall survival, recent advances in targeted therapies and minimally invasive surgical techniques have made surgery a more viable option for managing metastatic spine disease.

Objective

Our study aims to identify perioperative risk factors associated with poor outcomes following spine surgery in the setting of spinal cord metastasis.

Methods

We used the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data. Patients with metastatic spine disease undergoing spine surgery were identified. Our primary outcome measure was 30-day morbidity and mortality after surgery. Our secondary outcome was prolonged hospita
