Impact of Hemodialysis on Surgical Outcomes and Mortality Rate after Lumbar Spine Surgery: A Matched Cohort Study

摘要

Introduction Despite ongoing improvements in both dialysis and surgical techniques, spinal surgery in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is a challenge to surgeons because of the high mortality rate. However, no previous studies have examined clinical outcomes after lumbar surgery in HD patients. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical outcomes and complication rates after lumbar spinal surgery in patients with or without hemodialysis.
