Incidence and risk factors of spinal epidural hemorrhage after spine surgery: a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of a national database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With increasing number of patients undergoing spine surgery, the spinal epidural hemorrhage (SEH) has become a growing concern. However, current studies on SEH rely on case reports or observations from a single center. Our study attempted to demonstrate the incidence rate and risk factors of SEH using a national dataset.

Methods

A total of 17,549 spine surgery cases from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service National Inpatient Sample of 2014 were analyzed. After evaluating the incidence of SEH based on severe cases requiring reoperation, a univariate comparison was performed. Variables found to be significant were included in a multivariable analysis model to determine the risk factors.

Results

The incidence of SEH was found to be 1.15% in Kore
