    Obeid-Coronal Malalignment Classification Is Age Related and Independently Associated to Personal Reported Outcome Measurement Scores in the Nonfused Spine
    (KOREAN SPINAL NEUROSURGERY SOC, 2021-01-01) Kieser, David Christopher; Boissiere, Louis; Bourghli, Anouar; Hayashi, Kazunori; Cawley, Derek; Yilgor, Caglar; Alanay, Ahmet; Acaroglu, Emre; Kleinstueck, Frank; Pizones, Javier; Pellise, Ferran; Perez-Grueso, Francisco Javier Sanchez; Obeid, Ibrahim; Grp, European Spine Study
    Objective: To evaluate Obeid-coronal malalignment (O-CM) modifiers according to age, sagittal alignment, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), in the mobile spine. Methods: Retrospective review of a prospective multicenter adult spinal deformity (ASD) database with 1,243 (402 nonoperative, 841 operative) patients with no prior fusion surgery. Patients were included if they were aged over 18 years and were affected by spinal deformity defined by one of: Cobb angle >\_ 20 degrees, pelvic tilt >\_ 25 degrees, sagittal vertical axis >\_ 5 cm, thoracic kyphosis >\_ 60 degrees. Patients were classified according to the O-CM classification and compared to coronally aligned patients. Multivariate analysis was performed on the relationship between PROMs and age, global tilt (GT) and coronal malalignment (CM). Results: Four hundred forty-three patients had CM of more than 2 cm compared to 800 who did not. The distribution of these modifiers was correlated to age. After multivariate analysis, using age and GT as confounding factors, we found that before the age of 50 years, 2A1 patients had worse sex life and greater satisfaction than patients without CM. After 50 years of age, patients with CM (1A1, 1A2) had worse self-image and those with 2A2, 2B had worse self-image, satisfaction, and 36-item Short Form Health Survey physical function. Self-image was the consistent determinant of patients opting for surgery for all ages. Conclusion: CM distribution according to O-CM modifiers is age dependent. A clear correlation between the coronal malalignment and PROMs exists when using the O-CM classification and in the mobile spine, this typically affects self-image and satisfaction. Thus, CM classified according to O-CM modifiers is correlated to PROMs and should be considered in ASD.

    Does the Application of Topical Intrawound Vancomycin Powder Affect Deep Surgical Site Infection and the Responsible Organisms after Spinal Surgery?: A Retrospective Case Series with a Historical Control Group

    Study Design: Retrospective case series with a historical control group. Purpose: To compare the deep wound infection rates in patients undergoing spinal surgery with the application of topical intrawound vancomycin powder (TIVP) in the surgical site in addition to standard systemic prophylaxis with those in a matched historical cohort of patients for whom TIVP was not used. Overview of Literature: Surgical site infection (SSI) after spine surgery is debilitating and is responsible for a significant increase in the health care costs, hospital stay, and morbidities. Although the application of TIVP before surgical closure is a promising method for reducing the SSI rate after spine surgery, its use is controversial, and currently, research trials are focusing on identifying its safety, efficacy, and the potential patient population. Methods: A group of 88 patients who underwent posterior spinal surgery with TIVP administration (treatment group) was compared to a historical control group of 70 patients who had received only standard systemic intravenous prophylaxis (control group) for the analysis of deep SSI rate and the involved organisms. Results: The overall rate of deep SSIs was 2.5\% (4/158). All the SSIs were observed in patients who had posterior instrumentation and fusion for >= 3 levels. In the treatment group, the SSI rate was 3.4\% (3/88), and the bacteria isolated were Escherichia coli (n=2 ) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n=1). In the control group, the infection rate was 1.4\% (1/70), and the isolated bacteria were Morganella rnorganii and Staphylococcus epidermidis. No statistically significant association was found between the SSI rates of the treatment and control groups. Conclusions: Although the difference in the SSI rates was not statistically significant, the present results suggest that TIVP administration could not reduce the risk of deep SSIs after spinal surgery. Moreover, TIVP administration might also affect the underlying pathogens by increasing the propensity for gram-negative species.
