Lumber Spinal Steroid Injections and Infection Risk after Spinal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Harshadkumar A. Patel et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the literature and performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the associations between preoperative lumbar spinal steroid injections (LSSI) and postoperative infection following subsequent lumbar decompression and fusion procedures. The results showed that LSSI within 30 days of lumbar spine surgery was associated with significantly higher postoperative infection rates, particularly for fusion surgeries.

Osteoporosis is a novel risk factor of infections and sepsis: A cohort study

Xiaowen Zhang et al.

Summary: Bone mineral density (BMD) is associated with the risk of common infections and sepsis. Higher BMD at the femoral neck and total hip is associated with a decreased risk of pneumonia, urinary tract infection, skin infection, and sepsis. BMD at the lumbar spine is only associated with the risk of skin infection. Participants with osteoporosis have a significantly higher risk of infections and sepsis compared to those with normal BMD.

Deep Spinal Infection after Outpatient Epidural Injections for Pain: A Retrospective Sample Cohort Study Using a Claims Database in South Korea

Chang-Soon Lee et al.

Summary: The study found that the incidence of outpatient single-shot epidural injections for pain per 1,000 persons in South Korea doubled from 40.8 in 2006 to 84.4 in 2015. Among the 501,509 injections performed between 2007 and 2015, 52 cases of deep spinal infections were detected within 90 days postprocedurally, with a rate of 0.01% per injection. Significant risk factors for infection included age of 65 yr or more, living in a rural area, complicated diabetes, multiple epidural injections within the previous 90 days, and recent use of immunosuppressants.
