Researchers at CHA University Report New Data on Vertebroplasty (A Nationwide Study of Surgery in a Newly Diagnosed Spine Metastasis Population)

Managed Care Weekly Digest

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Managed Care Weekly Digest -- Research findings on Orthopedic Procedures - Vertebroplasty are discussed in a new report. According to news originating from Seongnam, South Korea, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The aim of this nationwide study was to analyze the current state of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic spine tumors according to surgical methods. Data was extracted from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database."

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from CHA University, "Surgery was categorized into three methods : fusion, decompression, and vertebroplasty. Data included patient age, sex, health insurance type, and co-morbidities. Survival rates of metastatic spine tumor patients according to each surgical method were evaluated. Among 1677 patients who had an operation, 823 patients were treated by fusion, 141 patients underwent decompression, and 713 patients were treated by vertebroplasty. The three most prevalent primary tumor sites were the lung, breast, and liver & biliary. On the other hand, the three most prevalent primary tumor sites of patients who underwent surgery were the lung, liver & biliary, and the prostate. The median survival periods for each surgical method in the metastatic spine tumor patients were 228 days for those who underwent surgery, 249 days for decompression, and 154 days for vertebroplasty. Age, sex, and comorbidities significantly affected survival rate. For every primary tumor site, decompression was the least common surgical method during the study period."

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Although the three surgical methods did not significantly affect the survival period, patients with a poor prognosis tended to undergo vertebroplasty."

For more information on this research see: A Nationwide Study of Surgery in a Newly Diagnosed Spine Metastasis Population. Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2018;(): (see also Orthopedic Procedures - Vertebroplasty).
