Mortality, complication risks, and clinical outcomes after surgical treatment of spinal epidural abscess: a comparative analysis of patients aged 18-64 years, 65-79 years, and ≥ 80 years, with a 3-year follow-up

Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) is a rare illness with a steadily increasing incidence. However, comparative analyses of young and older patients with SEA are lacking. We aimed to compare the clinical course of patients aged 18-64 years, 65-79 years, and ≥ 8...

520 |a Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) with pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis (PVO) is a rare illness with a steadily increasing incidence. However, comparative analyses of young and older patients with SEA are lacking. We aimed to compare the clinical course of patients aged 18-64 years, 65-79 years, and ≥ 80 years undergoing surgery for SEA. Clinical and imaging data were retrospectively collected from the institutional database between September 2005 and December 2021. Ninety-nine patients aged 18-64 years, 45 patients aged 65-79 years, and 32 patients ≥ 80 years were enrolled. Patients ≥ 80 years presented with a poorer baseline history (9.2 ± 2.4), as indicated by the CCI, than their younger counterparts (18-74 years: 4.8 ± 1.6;6.5 ± 2.5; p < 0.001). Patients aged 65-79 years and 80 years had a significantly longer length of stay. In-hospital mortality was significantly higher in those aged ≥ 80 years compared to their younger counterparts (≥ 80 years, n = 3, 9.4% vs. 18-64 years, n = 0, 0.0%; 65-79 years, n = 0, 0.0%; p < 0.001), while no differences in 90-day mortality or 30-day readmission were observed. After surgery, a significant decrease in C-reactive protein levels and leukocytes and amelioration of motor scores were observed in all the groups. Of note, older age (> 65 years), presence of comorbidities, and poor preoperative neurological condition were significant predictors of mortality. Surgical management led to significant improvements in laboratory and clinical parameters in all age groups. However, older patients are prone to multiple risks, requiring meticulous evaluation before surgery. Nevertheless, the risk profile of younger patients should not be underestimated. The study has the limitations of a retrospective design and small sample size. Larger randomized studies are warranted to establish the guidelines for the optimal management of patients from every age group and to identify the patients who can benefit from solely conservative management.
