Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cervical spine procedures represent a major proportion of all spine surgery. Mitigating the revision rate following cervical procedures requires careful patient selection. While complication risk has successfully been predicted, revision risk has proven more challenging. This is likely due to the absence of granular variables in claims databases. The objective of this study was to develop a state-of-the-art model of revision prediction of cervical spine surgery using laboratory and operative variables.
