    Abstract: The effect of preoperative symptom duration (PSD) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for radiculopathy is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether PSD is a predictor for PRO after ACDF for radiculopathy. METHODS: The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative registry was queried between March, 2014, and July, 2019, for patients who underwent ACDF without myelopathy and PROs (baseline, 90 days, 1 year, 2 years). PROs were measured by numerical rating scales for neck/arm pain, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Short Form-Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), EuroQol-5D (EQ5D), and North American Spine Society satisfaction. Univariate analyses were used to evaluate the proportion of patients reaching minimal clinically important differences (MCID). PSD was 〈 3 months, 3 month-1 year, or 〉 1 years. Multiple logistic regression models were used to estimate the association between PSD and PRO reaching MCID. The discriminative ability of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS: We included 2233 patients who underwent ACDF with PSD 〈 3 months (278, 12.4%), 3 month-1 year (669, 30%), and 〉 1 years (1286, 57.6%). Univariate analyses demonstrated a greater proportion of patients achieving MCID in 〈 3-month cohort for arm numerical rating scales, PROMIS-PF, EQ5D, and North American Spine Society Satisfaction. Multivariable analyses demonstrated using 〈 3 months PSD as a reference, PSD 〉 1 years was associated with decreased odds of achieving MCID for EQ5D (odds ratio 0.5, CI 0.32-0.80, P = .004). Private insurance and increased baseline PRO were associated with significantly higher odds for achieving PROMIS-PF MCID and EQ5D-MCID. CONCLUSION: Preoperative symptom duration greater than 1 year in patients who underwent ACDF for radiculopathy was associated with worse odds of achieving MCID for multiple PROs.

    Abstract: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected registry data using multivariable analyses of imputed data Objective. We sought to demonstrate that age would not be associated with complications in patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Summary of Background Data. Elderly patients (≥70 yrs) undergoing ACDF are considered a higher risk for complications. However, conclusive evidence is lacking. The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) is a quality improvement collaborative with 30 hospitals across Michigan. Methods. The study included all patients who had 1 to 4 level ACDF (September 2015–August 2019) for 90-day complications. Major and minor complications were defined using a validated classification. Multiple imputations were used to generate complete covariate datasets. Generalized estimating equation model was used to identify associations with complications using the whole cohort and elderly subgroup analyses. Bonferroni correction was used. Results. Nine thousand one hundred thirty five patients (11.1% ≥ 70 yrs and 88.9% 〈 70 yrs) with 2266 complications were analyzed. Comparing elderly versus non-elderly, the elderly had a significantly higher rate of any complications (31.5% vs. 24.0%, P   〈  0.001) and major complications (14.1% vs. 7.0%, P   〈  0.001). On multivariable analysis, age was not independently associated with any complication. POD#0 ambulation and preop independent ambulation were independently associated with significantly decreased odds of any complication. In the elderly, independent preoperative ambulation was protective for any complication (odds ratio [OR] 0.53, 0.39–0.73 95% confidence interval [CI] ), especially major complications (OR 0.41, 0.27–0.61 95% CI). Conclusion. Age was not an independent risk factor for complications in patients that underwent ACDF. In the elderly, independent preoperative ambulation was especially protective for major complications. Level of Evidence: 3

    Abstract: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data at a single institution. Objective. To compare perioperative and clinical outcomes in morbidly obese patients who underwent minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MiTLIF). Summary of Background Data. Obesity remains a serious public health concern. Obese patients who undergo lumbar fusion have historically thought to be at higher risk for complications and fare worse regarding quality-of-life outcomes. However, recent literature may demonstrate comparable risk and outcomes in obese patients. An increasing number of patients are categorized as morbidly obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 40 kg/m 2 ). Perioperative and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are lacking in this patient population. Methods. The authors retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database of all morbidly obese and non-obese patients that underwent MiTLIF between 2015 and 2018 for degenerative conditions who had minimum 1-year follow-up for outcome assessment. An inverse propensity/probability of treatment weighting was utilized to create a synthetic weighted sample in which covariates were independent of obesity designation to adjust for imbalance between groups. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) was used to estimate the association of morbid obesity and complications and 1-year PROs. Results. A total of 292 patients were analyzed with 234 non-obese patients and 58 morbidly obese patients. Multivariate analysis failed to demonstrate any association between morbid obesity and achieving minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for Oswestry disability index (ODI), visual analog scale (VAS), or short form-12 (SF-12) physical component score. However, morbid obesity was associated with significant decrease in odds of achieving MCID for SF-12 mental component score ( P  = 0.001). Increased surgery duration was significantly associated with morbid obesity ( P  = 0.001). Morbid obesity exhibited no statistically significant association with postoperative complications, readmission, pseudarthrosis, or adjacent segment disease (ASD). Conclusion. Morbidly obese patients who undergo MiTLIF can achieve meaningful clinical improvement comparable to nonobese patients. Morbid obesity was associated with longer surgical times but was not associated with postoperative complications, readmission, or ASD. Level of Evidence: 3
