Risk of subsidence following ACDF with the coalition™ (Globus Medical) cage: a multivariable analysis identifying preoperative radiculopathy as the primary risk factor.

Variables demonstrating a trend toward significance with a p -value < 0.25, as well as those identified as clinically or biomechanically relevant regardless of their univariate p-value (such as age and surgical levels), were selected as candidates for the initial multivariable model.

A statistical trend was found for the preoperative diagnosis; patients with radiculopathy had a subsidence rate of 57.9% (11 of 19), compared to 31.4% (16 of 51) in those with myelopathy ( p = 0.056).
