مستخلص: | Introduction: Spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is a rare process with significant risk for morbidity and mortality. Treatment includes an extended course of antibiotics with or without surgery depending on the clinical presentation. Both non-operative and surgically treated patients require close follow-up to ensure the resolution of the infection without recurrence and/or progression of neurologic deficits. No previous study has looked specifically at follow-up in the SEA population, but the review of the literature does show evidence of varying degrees of difficulty with follow-up for this patient population. Methods: This retrospective review looked at follow-up for 147 patients with SEA at a single institution from 2012 to 2021. Statistical analyses were performed to assess differences between groups of surgical versus non-surgical patients and those with adequate versus inadequate follow-up. Results: Sixty-two of 147 (42.2%) patients had inadequate follow-up (less than 90 days) with their surgical team, and 112 of 147 (76.2%) patients had inadequate follow-up (less than 90 days) with infectious disease (ID). The primary statistically significant difference between patients with adequate versus inadequate follow-up was found to be surgical status with those treated surgically more likely to have adequate follow-up than those treated non-operatively. Conclusion: Improved follow-up in surgical patients should be considered as a factor when deciding on surgical versus non-operative treatment in the SEA patient population. Extra efforts coordinating follow-up care should be made for SEA patients. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist. (Copyright © 2023, MacNeille et al.) |
