Early Reoperation Rates and Its Risk Factors after Instrumented Spinal Fusion Surgery for Degenerative Spinal Disease: A Nationwide Cohort Study of 65,355 Patients.

ABSTRACT: Reoperation is a major concern in spinal fusion surgery for degenerative spinal disease. Earlier reported reoperation rates were confined to a specific spinal region without comprehensive analysis, and their prediction models for reoperation were not statistically validated. Our study aimed to present reasonable base rates for reoperation according to all possible risk factors and build a validated prediction model for early reoperation. In our nationwide population-based cohort study, data between 2014 and 2016 were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance claims database. Patients older than 19 years who underwent instrumented spinal fusion surgery for degenerative spinal diseases were included. The patients were divided into cases (patients who underwent reoperation) and contr
