Insulin dependence predicts adverse outcomes following lumbar spine surgery
This study highlights the increased risk of surgical and medical complications in patients with IDDM undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Both NIDDM and IDDM are independent risk factors for postoperative medical and surgical complications. These findings can be used to improve preoperative management and risk stratification for insulin dependent DM patients.
