Implication

Retrospective study identifies risk factors and surgical trends for post-operative discitis in PIVD patients, indicating increased risk in older populations.

Key Points

Post-operative discitis occurred in 6.04% of PIVD patients, indicating a potentially rare complication.
Patients aged 50 and older were at significantly higher risk for post-operative discitis, with a relative risk of 196.57.
Most disc surgeries analyzed included microdiscectomy, but modified laminectomy plus microdiscectomy had higher discitis rates.
Findings highlight the need for preventive measures in surgical practices, especially for older patients at risk.
