The effect of diabetes on perioperative complications following spinal surgery: a meta-analysis

Abstract: BackgroundDegenerative spinal diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM) have increasingly become a social and economic burden. The effect of DM on spinal surgery complications reported by previous studies remains controversial.MethodsWe searched MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, ScienceDirect, EMBASE, and Google Scholar to identify studies reporting the relationship between DM and spinal surgery complications. Two independent reviewers performed independent data abstraction. The I2 statistic was used to assess heterogeneit… Show more

“…15,18,28 Possibly, worse baseline disability may be related to smaller improvement in disability after surgery as a continuous outcome, 52,64 but not as MCID. 54,65 Medical comorbidities are known to increase the risk of postoperative complications, 71,72 however, their effect on longer-term spinal surgery outcomes is less clear. 19,73 We found very low-quality evidence supporting significant associations between present comorbidities and smaller benefit from surgery in terms of reduction in pain, but not disability (low-quality).…”

“…Patients with DM are at greater risk for complications from reconstructive surgeries and fractures due to nonhealing of bone. This can lead to expensive revision surgeries, infections, and amputations, particularly in the lower extremity, [ 58–60 ] resulting in substantial morbidity, effects on personal and family lifestyles, and financial cost. Further studies are needed to assess bone regeneration capacity of the composite biomaterial in bone lesions.…”

“…Obese patients having spinal surgery were found to have increased blood loss, prolonged hospital stay and were more likely to develop infection [ 76 , 77 ]. Patients with diabetes were found to have greater disability and more likely to have failed spinal fusion as compared to patients without diabetes [ 78 80 ]. Frailty is an emerging risk assessment tool, requiring further studies [ 81 ].…”
