Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to consolidate the evidence regarding the prognostic influence of sarcopenia in degenerative lumbar spine surgeries.
Methods: A literature search of public databases was conducted up to Nov 15, 2023 using combinations of the key words "sarcopenia" and "lumbar spine surgery". Eligible studies were those that focused on adults undergoing decompression or fusion surgery for degenerative lumbar spine diseases, and compared the outcomes between patients with and without preoperative sarcopenia. Primary outcomes were change in ODI and back and leg pain VAS pain scores. Secondary outcomes were changes in Eq. 5D, JOA, SFHS-p scores, and LOS.
Results: Ultimately, nine retrospective studies with a total of 993 patients were included. Sarcopenic patients exhibited significantly worse functional improvement as assessed by ODI compared to non-sarcopenic patients (pooled standardized mean difference [pSMD] = 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.90). Back pain (pSMD = 0.31, 95% CI:0.15-0.47) and leg pain (pSMD = 0.21, 95% CI:0.02 - 0.39) improvement were also less in sarcopenic patients. Non-sarcopenic patients had greater improvements in Eq. 5D (pSMD = 0.25) and SFHS-p (pSMD = 0.39), and shorter LOS (pSMD = 0.62).
Conclusions: As compared to patients without sarcopenia, those with sarcopenia undergoing lumbar spine surgery for degenerative diseases have lower improvements in functional ability, quality of life, physical health, pain relief and extended hospitalization compared to those without sarcopenia.
期刊介绍：
"European Spine Journal" is a publication founded in response to the increasing trend toward specialization in spinal surgery and spinal pathology in general. The Journal is devoted to all spine related disciplines, including functional and surgical anatomy of the spine, biomechanics and pathophysiology, diagnostic procedures, and neurology, surgery and outcomes. The aim of "European Spine Journal" is to support the further development of highly innovative spine treatments including but not restricted to surgery and to provide an integrated and balanced view of diagnostic, research and treatment procedures as well as outcomes that will enhance effective collaboration among specialists worldwide. The “European Spine Journal” also participates in education by means of videos, interactive meetings and the endorsement of educative efforts.
