Social Characteristics of Hospitalized Patients With Spinal Degenerative Diseases

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
To explore the correlation of the incidence and social characteristics in patients with spinal degenerative diseases (SDD), and to provide certain evidence for prevention, treatment and incidence control of the disease.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Objectives: To explore the correlation of the incidence and social characteristics in patients withspinal degenerative diseases (SDD), and to provide certain evidence for prevention, treatment and incidencecontrol of the disease. Methods: Data between January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2016 were collected from electronic medical documents of the orthopedic department, including patients who suffered from SDD, treated by operation for the first time and aged 18 years old or over.
