In-hospital complications after cervical fusion in cases with versus without cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with cerebral palsy (CP) are at increased risk for cervical spine pathology. Cervical fusion surgery may be considered in this population, but perioperative outcomes relative to patients without CP remains poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to compare in-hospital complications after cervical fusion in patients with versus without cerebral palsy (CP) using a retrospective cohort design.

Methods

Cervical fusion cases with and without CP were identified in the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. In-hospital adverse events were tabulated and grouped into any (AAE), serious (SAE), and minor adverse events (MAE). Length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality were assessed. Multiple logistic regression models with and without 1:1 propensity mat
