ERAS on Cervical Surgery

To evaluate the effect of a series of optimization measures in ERAS among the patients during perioperative period who underwent cervical surgery.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted for the patients who underwent cervical spine surgery in a top three hospital in Beijing from April to December 2018. According to whether to implement enhanced recovery surgery, the patients were divided into enhanced recovery surgery group (eras group) and control group. The self-designed data collection table was used to collect data in the patient's medical records, including general demographic data and disease treatment data, implementation of accelerated rehabilitation surgery and application effect. Among them, the application effect includes the operation related complications, the visual analog scale (VAS) score of neck and shoulder pain, the ability of daily living after discharge, the length of stay, the cost of hospitalization and other recent rehabilitation effect indicators, as well as the rehospitalization rate of 90 days and the Japanese Orthopaedic Society four months after operation Association (JOA) score, neck disability index (NDI) score, neck and shoulder pain symptoms, neck and shoulder stiffness symptoms and other long-term rehabilitation indicators. Independent sample t-test, rank sum test and chi square test were used to compare the differences between the two groups. On the basis of single factor analysis, combined with multi factor analysis, the impact of groups on outcome indicators was clarified, included 90-day readmission, reexamination time, follow-up JOA score, NDI score, neck and shoulder pain symptoms and neck and shoulder stiffness symptoms.
