The effect of high-normal preoperative international normalized ratios on postoperative outcomes and complications following posterior cervical spine surgery
An INR > 1.25 but ≤ 1.5 may be safe for posterior cervical surgery. An INR > 1.25 but ≤ 1.5 was associated with a significantly higher rate of transfusions. However, increasing INR was not significantly associated with increased risk of any of the major complications.
