National trends in postoperative complications for lumbar spinal fusion from 2009 to 2022
Rates of older age, diabetes, and hypertension increased among PLF patients between 2009 and 2022, while most complication rates remained constant. Rates of wound infection, IBT, sepsis, and average length of stay have improved since 2009 despite an increase in wound infection and pneumonia from 2020 to 2022.
