Risk factors for dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery: a two-year prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Severe and disabling dysphagia is a relatively uncommon complication of anterior cervical spine surgery. However, the incidence of dysphagia ranges widely (2% to 60%). Furthermore, risk factors that contribute to the development of dysphagia have not been well identified. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery, and to identify any risk factors associated with increased dysphagia. STUDY DESIGN: This study is a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the prevalence of dysphagia at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 months. Patients were prospectively interviewed at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 months regarding the presence and subjective severity of dysphagia. PATIENT SAMPLE: Between the period of 1999 and 2002, 348 cervical spine surgeries were performed using the anterior Smith Robinson approach. 310 of these patients were available for 2-year follow-up. OUTCOMES MEASURE: Using the dysphagia grading system defined by Bazaz et al. (Spine 2002), we prospectively evaluated patients' postoperative dysphagia. METHODS: The presence and severity of dysphagia were reported during the telephone interviews performed at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 months after the procedure. Proportion analysis (chi-square or a Fisher Exact Test), prevalence ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were used to compare the prevalence of dysphagia with age, gender, type of surgery (eg, discectomy vs. corpectomy, primary vs. revision), use of instrumentation, number and location of surgical levels. RESULTS: The overall prevalences for dysphagia at 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 months were 54.0%, 33.6%, 18.6%, 15.2%, and 13.6%. The prevalence of dysphagia was found to be significantly higher in women (18.3%) than men (9.9%) 2 years after the surgery. Revision surgery patients (27.7%) also had a significantly higher prevalence of dysphagia than primary surgery (11.3%) patients 2 years after the surgery. Patients who underwent more than two-level surgery (19.3%) also had significantly higher rates of dysphagia 2 years after their procedures than patients who had two or less levels (9.7%) operated on. CONCLUSION: Overall the incidence of dysphagia 2 years after anterior cervical spine surgery was 13.6%. Risk factors for long-term dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery include gender, revision surgeries, and multilevel surgeries. The use of instrumentation, higher levels, or corpectomy versus discectomy did not significantly increase the prevalence of dysphagia.

The association between psychiatric factors and the development of chronic dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery

Purpose

Little data are available regarding the influence of psychiatric factors on chronic dysphagia after anterior cervical spine surgery. The purpose of this study was to identify associations between psychiatric factors and the development of chronic dysphagia in patients after anterior cervical spine surgery.

Methods

The authors prospectively examined 72 patients with degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine who were treated by single-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion. Demographic data including age, gender, body mass index, and smoking status were collected. Short form-36, mental component scores (MCS), physical component scores (PCS), Neck Disability Indices (NDI), and the Neck Pain and Disability Scale (NPDS) were assessed before surgery and at final follow-up. Psychiatric conditions were evaluated using the Zung depression scale and the Zung anxiety scale. At 1 year postoperatively, patients were contacted by telephone to determine the presence and severity of dysphagia. For statistical analyses, patients were divided into two groups: group I, those with No or Mild dysphagia; and group II, those with Moderate or Severe dysphagia at 1 year after surgery. Potential risk factors of chronic dysphagia were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression analysis.

Results

The patients included 22 women and 50 men of overall average age 47.1 ± 7.8 years. The prevalences of No/Mild (group I) and Moderate/Severe (group II) dysphagia were 69.4 % (50 patients) and 30.6 % (22 patients), respectively. Mean preoperative NDI, NPDS, PCS, and MCS scores of 34.2, 44.8, 33.7, and 46.2 in the 72 study subject improved to 9.9, 16.1, 55.1, and 56.2, respectively, at 1 year after surgery. The mean preoperative ZDS and ZAS scores were 35.2 and 34.2, respectively. The two study groups were significantly different in terms of the presence of a psychiatric problem, preoperative NDIs, and MCS scores. However, multivariate logistic regression showed that the presence of a psychiatric problem prior to surgery (P = 0.005) was the only significant predictor of chronic dysphagia.

Conclusions

The presence of a psychiatric problem seems to be an important risk factor of chronic dysphagia in patients with cervical disc herniation. The study shows that psychiatric factors should be evaluated prior to surgery to determine the risk of chronic dysphagia.     

前路颈椎融合术后吞咽困难危险因素的研究进展

吞咽困难是前路颈椎融合术(ACF)后常见并发症之一,表现为吞咽食物过程中出现功能障碍及吞咽时产生咽部、胸骨后或食管部位的梗阻、停滞、烧灼等不适感,通常为一过性,且预后较好,但临床不乏长期吞咽困难病例。据文献报道,术后1年仍有1.1%~15.2%的患者存在吞咽困难[1-4]。目前其病理生理机制及危险因素尚不明确。有研究提出,喉上/喉返神经损伤[5]、术中食管过度牵拉[6]、术后椎前软组织肿胀[7]等因素可导致术后吞咽困难。术后吞咽困难不仅对患者康复造成不利影响,同时也造成患者住院时间延长,经济负担加重[8],亦增加了住院患者死亡率及30 d再入院率[9]。因此,提升对ACF术后吞咽困难危险因素的认识,有助于脊柱外科医师更好地理解并降低该并发症的发生率,提高患者术后生活质量。本研究对ACF术后吞咽困难的危险因素进行分析,综述如下。     

椎前软组织肿胀和颈椎前路融合术后吞咽困难的相关性研究

目的 探讨颈椎前路融合术后椎前软组织肿胀和吞咽困难是否存在相关性。方法 随访研究自2009-01-2011-01接受颈椎前路融合术的患者73例,按照Bazaz-Yoo吞咽困难评分方法分为正常组（无/轻症状组,n=38）和吞咽困难组（中/重症状组,n=35）,参照Penning法测量颈椎侧位X线片上术前、术后软组织宽度,分析2组椎前软组织宽度变化值（即椎前软组织肿胀程度）。结果 2组间术前椎前软组织宽度比较,差异无统计学意义（P〉0.05）,2组间术前-术后椎前软组织宽度变化值有显著差异,吞咽困难组明显高于正常组,差异有统计学意义（P〈0.05）。结论 颈椎前路融合术后椎前软组织肿胀和吞咽困难的发生具有正相关性,推测椎前软组织肿胀可能是吞咽困难发生的机制之一。椎前软组织肿胀（程度）作为预测颈椎前路融合术后吞咽困难发生率的有效指标,具有一定的临床指导意义。     

Risk factors for postoperative dysphagia and dysphonia following anterior cervical spine surgery: a comprehensive study utilizing the hospital for special surgery dysphagia and dysphonia inventory (HSS-DDI)

BACKGROUND CONTEXTPostoperative dysphagia and dysphonia (PDD) are prevalent complications after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Identification of risk factors for these complications is necessary for effective prevention. Recently, patient reported outcome measures (PROM) have been used to determine PDD after ACDF. The Hospital for Special Surgery Dysphagia and Dysphonia Inventory (HSS-DDI) is a validated PROM that specifically assesses dysphagia and dysphonia after anterior cervical spine surgery.PURPOSETo identify the perioperative risk factors for PDD utilizing the HSS-DDI.STUDY DESIGN/SETTINGObservational study of prospectively collected data at a single academic institution.PATIENT SAMPLEPatients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion from 2015 to 2019 who enrolled in the prospective data collection.OUTCOME MEASUREThe HSS-DDI administered 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 4-6 months after surgery.METHODSAs potential risk factors, the data on demographic factors, analgesic medications, history of psychiatric illness, preoperative sagittal alignment, surgical factors, preoperative diagnoses, and preoperative Neck Disability Index (NDI) scores were collected. Bivariate and multivariable regression analyses utilizing the Tobit model were conducted.RESULTS291 patients were included in the final analysis. The median HSS-DDI at 4-weeks, 8 weeks, and 4-6 months postoperatively, were 80.7, 92.7, and 98.4, respectively. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that current smoking, previous cervical spine surgery, preoperative C2-7 angle, upper level surgery, multilevel surgery, opioid use, and a high preoperative NDI score, were independent contributing factors to a low HSS-DDI score at 4-weeks follow-up. Intraoperative topical steroid use was an independent protective factor for a low HSS-DDI score. Opioid use and high NDI score remained independent factors at 4-6 months. Sub-domain analysis demonstrated that prior cervical surgery, preoperative C2-7 angle, multilevel surgery, and intraoperative topical steroid use were significant for dysphagia only. Current smoking was significant for dysphonia only.CONCLUSIONSOur results showed that preoperative opioid use and a high preoperative NDI score are novel independent risk factors for postoperative dysphagia and dysphonia in addition to other known factors.

Perforation of the cervical esophagus and hypopharynx complicating surgery by an anterior approach to the cervical spine

Difficult diagnostic and therapeutic problems are raised by perforations of the cervical oesophagus or hypopharynx in patients undergoing surgery to the cervical spine via an anterior approach. Based on their experience of three recent cases, the authors review the diagnostic approach, based on clinical examination and diatrizoate sodium oesophageal series, and propose conservative treatment consisting of surgical drainage with or without suture of the perforation and without removal of the osteosynthesis material, appropriate antibiotic therapy and hypercaloric enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube. The prevention of this complication is based on correct use of surgical retractors.
