Abstract INTRODUCTION The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) is a multicenter quality improvement collaborative. Using the MSSIC database, we sought to identify the relationship between preoperative opioid usage and patient satisfaction, return to work, and achieving ODI MCID up to 2-yr after lumbar fusion. METHODS A total of 8693 lumbar fusion patients were analyzed. Patient satisfaction was measured by the NASS patient satisfaction index. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) models were constructed; variables tested include age, gender, race, PMH, and number of surgical levels. Preoperative opioid chronicity was defined as opioid naïve (no opioid usage), new opioid users (<6 wk), recent opioid users (6 wk-3 mo), frequent opioid users (3 mo-6 mo), and chronic opioid users (>6 mo). Comparisons were made to opioid naïve patients. RESULTS Chronic opioid users were less likely to be satisfied with their procedure at 90-d (OR 0.95, P < .001), 1-yr (OR 0.90, P < .001), and 2-yr (OR 0.87, P < .001) after surgery. New opioid users were more likely to achieve ODI MCID at 90-d (OR 1.25, P < .001), 1-yr (OR 1.15, P < .001), and 2-yr (OR 1.22, P < .002) postoperatively. Recent opioid users were more likely to achieve ODI MCID at 2 yr (OR 1.26, P < .001). Chronic opioid users were less likely to achieve ODI MCID at 90-d (OR 0.89, P < .001), 1-yr (OR 0.87, P = .002), and 2-yr (OR 0.82, P = .004). Chronic opioid users were also less likely to return to work at 90-d (OR 0.83, P < .001). CONCLUSION A multivariate analysis on preoperative opioid usage from a large, multicenter, prospective database on lumbar fusion patients was performed. We found that, as compared to opioid naïve patients, 2-yr postoperatively new opioid users (<6 wk) were more likely to have a favorable outcome, while chronic opioid users (>6 mo) were less likely to have a favorable outcome. Thus, preoperative opioid counseling is imperative to improve outcomes in spine surgery.

Abstract INTRODUCTION The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) is a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, quality improvement collaborative. Using MSSIC, we sought to identify the relationship between a positive PHQ-2, which is predictive of depression, and patient satisfaction, return to work, and achieving ODI MCID up to 2-yr after lumbar fusion. METHODS A total of 8585 lumbar fusion patients were analyzed. Patient satisfaction was measured by the NASS patient satisfaction index. A positive PHQ-2 score is =3, which has a 82.9% sensitivity and 90.0% specificity in detecting major depressive disorder. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) models were constructed; variables tested include age, gender, race, PMH, preoperative diagnosis (disc herniation, spondylolisthesis, etc), preoperative symptoms (axial pain, radicular pain, etc), severity of surgery, and preoperative opioid usage. RESULTS Patients with a positive PHQ-2 score were less likely to be satisfied after lumbar fusion at 90-d (OR 0.93, P < .001), 1-yr (OR 0.92, P = .001), and 2-yr (OR 0.92, P = .028). A positive PHQ-2 was also associated with decreased likelihood of returning to work at 90-d (OR 0.76, P < .001), 1-yr (OR 0.85, P = .001), and at 2-yr (OR 0.82, P = .031). A positive PHQ-2 was predictive of failure to achieve ODI MCID at 90-d (OR 1.07, P = .005) but not at 1-yr or 2-yr after lumbar fusion. CONCLUSION A multivariate analysis from a large, multicenter, prospective database on lumbar fusion patients was performed. We find that PHQ-2, which is a simple and accurate screening tool for depression, is associated with an inability to return to work and worse satisfaction up to 2-yr after lumbar fusion. Depression is a treatable condition, and so in the same way that patients are medically optimized before surgery to decrease postoperative morbidity, then perhaps patients should have preoperative psychiatric optimization to improve postoperative functional outcomes.

OBJECTIVEThe Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative (MSSIC) is a prospective, longitudinal, multicenter, quality-improvement collaborative. Using MSSIC, the authors sought to identify the relationship between a positive Patient Health Questionnaire–2 (PHQ-2) screening, which is predictive of depression, and patient satisfaction, return to work, and achieving Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) minimal clinically important difference (MCID) scores up to 2 years after lumbar fusion.METHODSData from a total of 8585 lumbar fusion patients were analyzed. Patient satisfaction was measured by the North American Spine Society patient satisfaction index. A positive PHQ-2 score is one that is ≥ 3, which has an 82.9% sensitivity and 90.0% specificity in detecting major depressive disorder. Generalized estimating equation models were constructed; variables tested include age, sex, race, past medical history, severity of surgery, and preoperative opioid usage.RESULTSMultivariate analysis was performed. Patients with a positive PHQ-2 score (i.e., ≥ 3) were less likely to be satisfied after lumbar fusion at 90 days (relative risk [RR] 0.93, p < 0.001), 1 year (RR 0.92, p = 0.001), and 2 years (RR 0.92, p = 0.028). A positive PHQ-2 score was also associated with decreased likelihood of returning to work at 90 days (RR 0.76, p < 0.001), 1 year (RR 0.85, p = 0.001), and 2 years (RR 0.82, p = 0.031). A positive PHQ-2 score was predictive of failure to achieve an ODI MCID at 90 days (RR 1.07, p = 0.005) but not at 1 year or 2 years after lumbar fusion.CONCLUSIONSA multivariate analysis based on information from a large, multicenter, prospective database on lumbar fusion patients was performed. The authors found that a positive score (≥ 3) on the PHQ-2, which is a simple and accurate screening tool for depression, predicts an inability to return to work and worse satisfaction up to 2 years after lumbar fusion. Depression is a treatable condition, and so in the same way that patients are medically optimized before surgery to decrease postoperative morbidity, perhaps patients should have preoperative psychiatric optimization to improve postoperative functional outcomes.

Abstract BACKGROUND It is important to delineate the relationship between opioid use and spine surgery outcomes. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between preoperative opioid usage and postoperative adverse events, patient satisfaction, return to work, and improvement in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) in patients undergoing lumbar fusion procedures by using 2-yr data from a prospective spine registry. METHODS Preoperative opioid chronicity from 8693 lumbar fusion patients was defined as opioid-naïve (no usage), new users (&lt;6 wk), short-term users (6 wk-3 mo), intermediate-term users (3-6 mo), and chronic users (&gt;6 mo). Multivariate generalized estimating equation models were constructed. RESULTS All comparisons were to opioid-naïve patients. Chronic opioid users showed less satisfaction with their procedure at 90 d (Relative Risk (RR) 0.95, P = .001), 1 yr (RR 0.89, P = .001), and 2 yr (RR 0.89, P = .005). New opioid users were more likely to show improvement in ODI at 90 d (RR 1.25, P &lt; .001), 1 yr (RR 1.17, P &lt; .001), and 2 yr (RR 1.19, P = .002). Short-term opioid users were more likely to show ODI improvement at 90 d (RR 1.25, P &lt; .001). Chronic opioid users were less likely to show ODI improvement at 90 d (RR 0.90, P = .004), 1 yr (RR 0.85, P &lt; .001), and 2 yr (RR 0.80, P = .003). Chronic opioid users were less likely to return to work at 90 d (RR 0.80, P &lt; .001). CONCLUSION In lumbar fusion patients and when compared to opioid-naïve patients, new opioid users were more likely and chronic opioid users less likely to have improved ODI scores 2 yr after surgery. Chronic opioid users are less likely to be satisfied with their procedure 2 yr after surgery and less likely to return to work at 90 d. Preoperative opioid counseling is advised.

OBJECTIVE Most studies on racial disparities in spine surgery lack data granularity to control for both comorbidities and self-assessment metrics. Analyses from large, multicenter surgical registries can provide an enhanced platform for understanding different factors that influence outcome. In this study, the authors aimed to determine the effects of race on outcomes after lumbar surgery, using patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in 3 areas: the North American Spine Society patient satisfaction index, the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) on the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for low-back pain, and return to work. METHODS The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative was queried for all elective lumbar operations. Patient race/ethnicity was categorized as Caucasian, African American, and “other.” Measures of association between race and PROs were calculated with generalized estimating equations (GEEs) to report adjusted risk ratios. RESULTS The African American cohort consisted of a greater proportion of women with the highest comorbidity burden. Among the 7980 and 4222 patients followed up at 1 and 2 years postoperatively, respectively, African American patients experienced the lowest rates of satisfaction, MCID on ODI, and return to work. Following a GEE, African American race decreased the probability of satisfaction at both 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Race did not affect return to work or achieving MCID on the ODI. The variable of greatest association with all 3 PROs at both follow-up times was postoperative depression. CONCLUSIONS While a complex myriad of socioeconomic factors interplay between race and surgical success, the authors identified modifiable risk factors, specifically depression, that may improve PROs among African American patients after elective lumbar spine surgery.
