Risk factors and nursing strategies for postoperative pain management in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study attempts to identify risk factors associated with postoperative pain in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) and to propose targeted nursing strategies.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 502 patients who underwent TLIF. Patients were grouped into mild, moderate, and severe pain groups based on postoperative pain severity. Baseline characteristics, comorbidities, sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and history of lumbar surgery were compared across groups. Preoperative serological markers such as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), albumin, globulin, red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), platelet count (PLT), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyze
