Risk predictors of perioperative complications for the palliative surgical treatment of spinal metastasis

J Orthop Sci. 2021 Nov;26(6):1107-1112. doi: 10.1016/j.jos.2020.09.005. Epub 2020 Oct 23.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The complication rate for palliative surgery in spinal metastasis is relatively high, and major complications can impair the patient’s activities of daily living. However, surgical indications are determined based primarily on the prognosis of the cancer, with the risk of complications not truly considered. We aimed to identify the risk predictors for perioperative complications in palliative surgery for spinal metastasis.METHODS: A multicentered, retrospective review of 195 consecutive patients with spinal metastasis who underwent palliative surgeries with posterior procedures from 2001 to 2016 was performed. We evaluated the type and…
