OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of advancing age on @entity260 and revision surgery after fusion for @entity1635 . METHODS: A retrospective, cohort study was performed using the Thomson Reuters MarketScan database, examining @entity1 with @entity1635 who underwent spinal fusion from 2000 to 2009. Primary outcomes included @entity548 and @entity1151 ( @entity1151 ) within 90 days of surgery, and refusion. The effect of increasing age was estimated using the odds ratio (OR) of complications in a multivariate logistic regression analysis, and a Cox proportional hazard model estimated the hazard ratio of refusion. RESULTS: A total of 8432 @entity1 were included in this study. Overall, the average age was 53.3 years, with 26.90% males and 39% with a Charlson Comorbidity Score of >= 1. Most @entity1 had commercial insurance (66.81%), with 26.03% and 7.16% covered by Medicare and Medicaid, respectively. Increasing age (per 5-year increment) was a significant predictor of @entity548 (OR, 1.06; confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.11; P  = 0.0196), @entity1151 (OR, 1.09; CI, 1.03-1.16; P  = 0.0031), @entity281 (OR, 1.04; CI, 1.01-1.07; P  = 0.0053), and refusion (hazard ratio, 1.07; CI, 1.02-1.13; P  = 0.0103). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, age was associated with increased risk of @entity548 , @entity1151 , @entity281 , and refusion. With the aging population, the role of @entity1 age on postoperative healing and outcomes deserves deeper investigation after repair of adult @entity2112 .
