Clinical Outcomes in Older Patients Aged over 75 Years Who Underwent Early Surgical Treatment for Pyogenic Vertebral Osteomyelitis

Older patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) usually have more medical comorbidities compared with younger patients, and present with advanced infections from different causative organisms. To aid surgical decision-making, we compared surgical outcomes of older patients with PVO to tho...

description Older patients with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) usually have more medical comorbidities compared with younger patients, and present with advanced infections from different causative organisms.

We identified the risk factors for adverse post-operative outcomes, and analyzed the clinical risks from further spinal instrumentation. This retrospective comparative study included 439 patients aged ≥75 years with PVO. Multivariable analysis was performed to compare treatment outcomes among three groups: 194, 130, and 115 patients in the non-operative, non-instrumented, and instrumented groups, respectively.
