Time trends in spine surgery in Italy: a nationwide, population-based study of 1,560,969 records of administrative health data from 2001 to 2019
Spinal surgical procedures and their population incidence rates increased significantly. Fusions and other implant-related procedures increased substantially for most diagnostic categories. An ICD9-CM mapping for spinal diagnoses and procedures as a reproducible tool for further explorations was presented.
