- W2938870073 abstract "BACKGROUND CONTEXT Symptoms associated with spinal metastases are often nonspecific and resemble noncancer-related symptoms. Therefore, patients with spinal metastases are at risk for delayed referral and treatment. Delayed presentation of symptomatic spinal metastases may lead to the development of neurological deficits, often followed by emergency surgery. PURPOSE The aim of this cohort study was to analyze the effect of delayed referral and treatment of spinal metastases on clinical outcome. METHODS We included all patients surgically treated for spinal metastases at our tertiary care center. Based on the (in)ability to undergo elective surgery, patients were identified as timely treated or delayed. Patient- and tumor-characteristics, surgical variables, and postoperative variables such as complication rate, the ability to return home and length of hospital stay were recorded and compared between the two groups. RESULTS Based on the urgency of treatment at admission, 206 patients were identified as timely treated and 98 as delayed. At baseline, the two groups did not differ significantly except for the extent of neurological symptoms. Timely treated patients underwent less invasive procedures (52.9% vs 13.3% percutaneous pedicle screw fixations), had less median blood loss (200cc vs 450cc), shorter median admission time (7 vs 13 days), lower complication rate (26.2% vs 48.0%) and higher chances of being discharged home immediately (82.6% vs 41.1%) compared with delayed patients. Using multivariate regression models these correlations remained present independent of tumor prognosis, preoperative mobility, and American Society of Anesthesiologists-score. CONCLUSIONS The delayed presentation of patients with spinal metastases to a spinal surgeon is strongly and independently associated with worse surgical and postoperative outcome parameters. Improvements in referral patterns could potentially lead to more scheduled care, negating the detrimental effects of delay." @default.
