Abstract
Background: Kümmell's disease (KD) is a recognized complication of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs), but the risk factors for progression from OVCFs to KD remain unclear.
Methods: This retrospective study included 104 patients with OVCFs from a tertiary hospital between January 2020 and December 2023. Patients were divided into a case group (56 patients with KD) and a control group (48 patients without KD). Data on 24 variables, including demographics, fracture characteristics, and biochemical markers, were collected and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 software. Statistical methods included independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and binary logistic regression.
Results: Univariate analysis identified five significant factors related to KD onset: age, vertebral length, intervertebral foramen width, alkaline phosphatase, and albumin. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed three independent risk factors for KD: vertebral length, alkaline phosphatase, and albumin.
Conclusion: When treating OVCF patients, clinicians should consider comprehensive factors. Patients with high alkaline phosphatase levels, longer fractured vertebrae, and low albumin levels should be closely monitored. Targeted interventions, such as early surgery, enhanced nutrition, and optimized anti-osteoporosis plans, may reduce KD risk and improve patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
World Neurosurgery has an open access mirror journal World Neurosurgery: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
The journal''s mission is to:
-To provide a first-class international forum and a 2-way conduit for dialogue that is relevant to neurosurgeons and providers who care for neurosurgery patients. The categories of the exchanged information include clinical and basic science, as well as global information that provide social, political, educational, economic, cultural or societal insights and knowledge that are of significance and relevance to worldwide neurosurgery patient care.
-To act as a primary intellectual catalyst for the stimulation of creativity, the creation of new knowledge, and the enhancement of quality neurosurgical care worldwide.
-To provide a forum for communication that enriches the lives of all neurosurgeons and their colleagues; and, in so doing, enriches the lives of their patients.
Topics to be addressed in World Neurosurgery include: EDUCATION, ECONOMICS, RESEARCH, POLITICS, HISTORY, CULTURE, CLINICAL SCIENCE, LABORATORY SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES, CLINICAL IMAGES, VIDEOS
