A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to calculate odds ratios (OR) with corresponding p values and 95% confidence intervals. Mortality within 30 days of surgery due to any cause, incidence of surgical complications, and 30-day readmission rates following surgery were tabulated. Methods A retrospective analysis of the American College of Surgeons National Surgery Quality Improvement Project (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2007 to 2014 identified 1979 patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between sex and the incidence of postoperative mortality in the perioperative period following surgical intervention for OVCF. Studies have shown that osteoporotic patients are at an increased risk for medical and surgical complications. As the size of the elderly population grows, the number of fractures attributed to osteoporosis is expected to increase. Introduction Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) contribute substantially to the financial burden of the US healthcare system. However, males exhibited higher rates of mortality and 30-day readmissions relative to females. We found no statistical association between surgical complications and patient sex. Hershman 1 Received: 17 July 2020 / Accepted: 1 September 2020 # International Osteoporosis Foundation and National Osteoporosis Foundation 2020ДЄbstract Summary In this study, we evaluated the association between sex and the incidence of postoperative mortality in the perioperative period following surgical intervention for OVCF. Males Have Higher Rates of Peri-operative Mortality Following Surgery for Osteoporotic Vertebral Compression Fracture A.
