ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the relationship between preoperative vitamin D and albumin levels and postoperative quality of life in patients undergoing spinal surgery. Methods: Patients undergoing thoracic and lumbar spine surgery were evaluated in this prospective study. Their vitamin D and albumin levels were assessed before surgery and quality of life was measured by two questionnaires, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Scoliosis Research Society - 22 (SRS-22), one year after the procedure. Data on infection occurrence and healing time were collected. Preoperative nutritional values and patients’ quality of life were analyzed using the chi-square test and ANOVA for albumin and vitamin D, respectively. The relationship among nutritional status, healing time, and the occurrence of infection was evaluated by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: Forty-six patients were included and their mean nutritional values were 19.1 (6.6) ng/mL for vitamin D and 3.9 (0.6) g/dL for albumin [mean (standard deviation)]. No association was found between vitamin D and quality of life of patients measured by ODI (p=0.534) and SRS-22 (p=0.739) questionnaires. There was also no association between albumin levels and quality of life measured by ODI (p=0.259) and SRS-22 (p=0.076) questionnaires. No correlation was found between the healing time or occurrence of infection and nutritional values. Conclusions: There was no association between vitamin D and albumin levels and the surgical result, according to the patient’s perception, besides the occurrence of complications with the surgical wound.

The goal of this paper was to study preoperative concentrations of vitamin D in patients undergoing spinal surgery and analyze relevant risk factors associated with vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D plays an important role in maintaining normal functions of skeletal muscles, and vitamin D insufficiency or deficiency may affect outcomes of spinal surgery patients. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 503 patients undergoing spinal surgery in the First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University from September 2012 to October 2013. Preoperative concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were measured. Normal vitamin D was defined as a serum 25(OH)D level ≥ 32 ng/mL, vitamin D insufficiency as ≥20 and <32 ng/mL, and vitamin D deficiency as <20 ng/mL. Relevant risk factors associated with vitamin D insufficiency and deficiency were analyzed. In 503 spinal surgery patients, rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency was 71.4% and 23.9%. Rate of vitamin D deficiency in female patients was significantly higher than that in male (P < 0.001). Rate of vitamin D deficiency in patients with high body mass index (P = 0.009) or patients with smoking habit (P < 0.001) was much higher than other patients. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that female (P < 0.001), smoking (P = 0.005), and winter (P = 0.001) were potential risk factors for vitamin D deficiency. Screening preoperative vitamin D status and relevant treatment should be reinforced in spine surgery patients.
