11 patients were identified with AS, 20 with DISH, and 15 with spontaneous ankylosis. Patients who experienced other body trauma approached significance in DISH and spontaneous ankylosis patients, with 17 (81.0%) and 12 (75.0%), respectively.
No significant impact of bone density, level of UIV, level of LIV or postoperative sagittal cervical imbalance on the occurrence of JK/JF was observed, though fusion status and pathologic T1 slope angle showed a trend towards significance.
rld.2 They represent a particularly worrisome public health threat since infection by CRKP has been shown to double the mortality rate (42%) relative to carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella Pneumoniae (CSKP, 21%).2 Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE), although described several years ago, also show an increasing trend, with our country having one of the leading rates of VRE isolation in the world.1,3 Long lengths of hospital stay (LOS), admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), previous exposure to antibiotics (particularly carbapenems, but not exclusively) and surgical re-interventions are among the well-established risk factors for the development of both CRKP and VRE infections.3,4.
The PSI condition had significantly smaller cage migration angles than OTS and OTS-EP conditions in AR, and the OTS condition had significantly smaller cage migration angles than OTS-EP in LB. Conclusion: PSI devices tended to reduce ROM and NZ motion more than OTS, although differences did not reach statistical significance.
