Abstract

Atlantoaxial fusion is used to correct atlantoaxial instability that is often secondary to traumatic fractures, Down syndrome, or rheumatoid arthritis. The effect of age and comorbidities on outcomes following atlantoaxial fusion is unknown. This study aimed to better understand trends and predictors of outcomes and charges following atlantoaxial fusion and to identify confounding variables that should be included in future prospective studies. A retrospective analysis of data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS), a nationally representative, all-payer database of inpatient diagnoses and procedures in the United States. We included all patients who underwent atlantoaxial fusion (International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification code 81.01) between 1998 and 2011 who were 18 years or older at the time of admission. Outcome measures included in-hospital charges, hospital length of stay (LOS), in-hospital mortality, and discharge disposition. Predictors of outcome following atlantoaxial fusion were assessed using a series of univariable analyses. Those predictors with a p-value of less than .2 were included in the final multivariable models. Independent predictors of outcome were those that were s...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
