Analysis of risk factors for noncontiguous spinal fractures in the elderly
To explore the risk factors for noncontiguous spinal fractures (NSFs) in the elderly.
Methods
2
The clinical data of 614 elderly patients with spinal fracture from January 2013 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients were divided into the NSFs group and the Non-NSFs group according to whether NSFs occurred or not. Univariate analysis and multivariate
Logistic
regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors of NSFs.
Results
2
Univariate analysis showed that female (
P
=0.003), high-energy violent injury (
P
=0.032), osteoporosis (
P
=0.004), fracture in spring (
P
=0.020), and previous spinal fracture history (
P
<
0.001) were associated with the occurrence of NSFs. Multivariate
Logistic
regression analysis showed that fracture in spring (
P
=0.024), previous spinal fracture history (
P
<
0.001) and high-energy violent injury (
P
=0.038) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of NSFs in the elderly.
Conclusion
2
High-energy violent injury, fracture in spring and previous spinal fracture history are the independent risk factors for the occurrence of NSFs in the elderly. Therefore, elderly patients with the above risk factors should be examined more carefully and comprehensively to avoid missed diagnosis and delayed diagnosis. In order to reduce the incidence of this disease, corresponding measures should be taken according to the preventable risk factors.
