In the multiple logistic regression analysis, only load-bearing lines of the spine (OR: 3.58, 95% CI: 1.23–10.43, P = 0.02) was found to be a significant predictor of discal cement leakage ( Supplementary Table 3 ), whereas vertebral endplate fracture (OR: 2.56, 95% CI: 0.95–6.92, P = 0.06), which has been associated with discal cement leakage in other studies, approached significance in our study. 3.4 Development of the algorithm to predict overall cement leakage Scores for the included significant risk characteristics were assigned according to the ORs ( Table 4 ), with all ORs rounded to the nearest integer.
