Abstract Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal deformity. Posterior spinal fusion remains an important surgical treatment for AIS. This study aims to determine the predictive factors for intraoperative blood loss in AIS surgery. Methods Patients who had undergone posterior spinal fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in a single university hospital were reviewed over a 7-year period. Predictive factors for intra-operative blood loss were studied by multivariate analysis to derive a regression model. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed to determine the cut-off values of factors contributing to significant intraoperative blood loss (≥500 ml). Results Two hundred and twelve patients were included. Intraoperative blood loss was found to be correlated with gender (rs = 0.30 (0.17–0.43)), preoperative hemoglobin level (rs = 0.20 (0.04–0.31)), preoperative Cobb angle (rs = 0.20 (0.02–0.29)), number of fused levels (rs = 0.46 (0.34–0.58)), operation duration (rs = 0.65 (0.54–0.75)), number of anchors (rs = 0.47 (0.35–0.59)), and p-value ranged from < 0.001 to < 0.05. Significant intraoperative blood loss was influenced by the male gender, operation duration greater than 257.5 min and more than 10 anchors used. Conclusions Male gender, increased operation duration and higher number of anchors predicted higher intra-operative blood loss.

Abstract Purpose: To investigate Hidden blood loss (HBL) and its potential risk factors in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgery and elucidate the influence of HBL on postoperative blood transfusion. Methods: We retrospectively studied 765 patients undergoing posterior spine fusion for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis from January 2014 to December 2018. The patient’s demographics, blood loss related parameters, operation and blood loss information were extracted. The association between patient’s characteristics and HBL was analyzed by Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to determine independent risk factors associated with HBL. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influence of HBL on postoperative blood transfusion.Results: A total of 765 patients including 128 males and 637 females (age range 10-18 years) were included in this study. The mean amount of HBL was 693.5±473.4 ml, accounting for 53.9% of the total blood loss. In multivariate linear regression analysis, we found that preoperative Hct (p=0.003) and allogeneic blood transfusion (p<0.0001) were independent risk factors for HBL, while tranexamic acid (p=0.003) was negatively related to HBL. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that HBL > 850 ml ( P < 0.001, OR: 8.845, 95%CI: 5.806-13.290) was the independent risk factor for postoperative blood transfusion.Conclusion: a large amount of HBL was incurred in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion surgeries. Allogeneic blood transfusion and preoperative Hct were independent risk factors for HBL, while tranexamic acid was negatively related to HBL. HBL and its influential factors should be taken into account when considering the perioperative transfusion management. These patients with HBL greater than 850 ml should be paid more attention in case of postoperative anemia.Level of evidence: Level III
