Impact of Dialysis on 30-Day Outcomes After Spinal Fusion Surgery for Pathologic Fractures: Insights from a National Quality Registry

摘要

BACKGROUND: Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis have been shown to have poor overall health, osteoporosis, and altered bone metabolism. However, the impact of hemodialysis on patient outcomes after spinal fusion remains unknown. We sought to assess the effect of dialysis on 30-day perioperative and postoperative outcomes after cervical and lumbar fusion for pathologic compression fractures.
