Impact of nicotine product use on outcomes of patients receiving cervical disc arthroplasty: a propensity score analysis of the united States nationwide inpatient sample 2005-2020.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nicotine product use, including cigarette smoking and other nicotine products, is a known risk factor for various health complications. While previous studies have examined its impact on spinal procedures, its specific effects on cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between nicotine product use and inpatient outcomes in patients undergoing CDA.

Methods

Data from the 2005 to 2020 US Nationwide Inpatient Sample database of hospitalized adults ≥ 18 years old who underwent primary or revision CDA were extracted. Patients were divided into nicotine product users and non-users. Propensity score matching (PSM) was employed to balance the baseline characteristics between the groups. In-hospital mortality, unfavora
