アブストラクト | PURPOSE: To examine the clinical features and post-treatment complications in patients with isolated C2 odontoid fractures. METHODS: We extracted data for all patients who were admitted with C2 odontoid fractures from the Japanese Diagnosis Procedure Combination database between July 2010 and March 2017. We then compared the post-treatment complications during hospitalization according to treatment types: conservative treatment (with or without use of halo-vest) and surgery (anterior or posterior spinal fixation). RESULTS: A total of 3167 patients (1533 men, 1634 women; mean age, 70 years) with isolated C2 odontoid fractures were identified, including 1124 patients (35%) aged >/= 80 years. Among the total patients, 2476 (78%) received conservative treatment (with halo-vest, 728; without halo-vest, 1748). The remaining 691 patients (22%) underwent surgery (anterior surgery, 129; posterior surgery, 556; combined surgery, 6). There were no differences between the conservative treatment and surgery groups in baseline characteristics and preexisting comorbid conditions except for age (71 vs. 69 years, p = 0.042). In-hospital death occurred in 136 patients (4.3%). There was no significant difference in in-hospital mortality between the two groups (overall, conservative treatment 4.6% vs. surgery 3.0%, p = 0.066; age >/= 80 years, conservative treatment 7.2% vs. surgery 5.4%, p = 0.34). Use of halo-vest was not associated with increased mortality (with halo-vest 3.7% vs. without halo-vest 5.0%, p = 0.15). CONCLUSION: The great majority of isolated odontoid fractures occurred in elderly patients. Conservative treatment and surgery had similarly low in-hospital mortality. Use of halo-vest was not associated with an increase in mortality. |
