Body mass index as a predictor of complications and mortality after lumbar spine surgery.

Abstract：

STUDY DESIGN:Retrospective analysis. OBJECTIVE:A national population-based database was analyzed to characterize the risks of postoperative complications and mortality associated with the patient's body mass index (BMI) after lumbar spinal surgery. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA:Obesity has been associated with greater perioperative complications and worsened surgical outcomes after lumbar spinal surgery. However, the stratified BMI risks of postoperative complications relative to normal weight patients have not been well characterized. METHODS:The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried to identify patients who underwent lumbar spinal surgery between 2006 and 2011. Patients were stratified into BMI cohorts: normal (18.5-24.99 kg/m), overweight (25.00-29.99 kg/m), class 1 (30.00-34.99 kg/m), class 2 (35.00-39.99 kg/m), and class 3 (≥40 kg/m) obesity. Preoperative patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes were assessed. The relative risks of 30-day postoperative complications and mortality for each BMI cohort were calculated in reference to the normal weight cohort using a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS:A total of 24,196 patients underwent lumbar spine surgery between 2006 and 2011 of which 19,195 (79.3%) were overweight or obese. The risk for deep vein thrombosis increased beginning with overweight patients and compounded for the subsequent obesity classes. The risk for superficial wound infection and pulmonary embolism increased beginning with the class 1 obesity cohort. Furthermore, the relative risk increase for urinary tract infection, acute renal failure, and sepsis was significantly increased only among class 3 obesity patients. Lastly, there was no relative risk increase in 30-day mortality in any cohort after lumbar spine surgery. CONCLUSION:Overweight and obese patients demonstrated an increased risk of postoperative complications relative to normal weight patients. Despite these findings, a BMI 25 kg/m or more was not associated with a greater risk of mortality. Further studies are warranted to characterize the impact of postoperative complications associated with overweight and obese patients on hospital resource utilization and costs after lumbar spine surgery.
