Predictors of hospitalization for longer than one day following elective single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion: a retrospective case-control database study
Older patients, those with poorer functional status, and those who undergo longer operative times are more likely to experience prolonged postoperative hospitalization. These patients are also at increased risk of complications such as pneumonia, blood transfusions, reoperation, and readmission. Careful patient selection for ACDF is essential to reduce the risk of prolonged hospitalization and associated complications.
