Abstract:
Tumors of the spine are challenging in terms of diagnoses and interdisciplinary treatment. This study was conducted to evaluate and characterize a large multicenter cohort of surgically
treated spine tumor patients. Data of the German Spine Society (DWG) were used to characterize a cohort of all surgically treated spine tumor cases that were registered between 2017 and 2021. Subgroup analysis was
performed for tumor entity, tumor localization, height of most severely affected segments, surgical treatment, and demographic parameters. In total, there were 9686 cases, of which 6747 were “malignant”, 1942 were “primary benign”, 180 were “tumor-like lesions”, and 488 were “other” spinal tumors. Subgroups showed
differences in number of affected segments as well as localization. There were further significant differences in surgical complication rates (p = 0.003), age (p 〈 0.001), morbidity
(p 〈 0.001), and duration of surgery (p = 0.004). This is a representative study on spinal tumors from a large spine registry and allows for the epidemiological characterization of surgically treated tumor subgroups and quality control
of registry data.
