National trends in the utilization of lumbar disc replacement for lumbar degenerative disc disease over a 10-year period, 2010 to 2019.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lumbar fusion (LF) is commonly performed to manage lumbar degenerative disc disease (LDDD) that has failed conservative measures. However, lumbar disc replacement (LDR) procedures are increasingly prevalent and designed to preserve motion in carefully selected patients.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), queried from 2010 to 2019 to identify patients undergoing single and double-level LF or LDR with a diagnosis of LDDD using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9th (ICD-9) and 10th (ICD-10) revision diagnostic and procedure codes. Propensity score matching (PSM) with a ratio of 2:1 was performed. All cost estimates reflect reported hospital costs adjusted to December 2019 United States Dollars.
