Impact of patient-reported allergies and psychiatric history on lumbar interbody fusion outcomes: a retrospective cohort study in the United States

JSJason SalvatoEFEvan FloreyAJAidan Johnson

Key Points

  • This research aims to determine how patient-reported allergies and psychiatric history affect outcomes after lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Conducted a retrospective cohort study in the United States focusing on lumbar interbody fusion outcomes.
  • Analyzed the association between patient-reported allergies, psychiatric history, and PROMIS scores.
  • Evaluated the impact of these factors on the minimal clinically important difference (MCID).
  • Patient-reported allergies were not associated with worse outcomes after lumbar interbody fusion.
  • Individuals with a psychiatric history had a significant reduction in MCID attainment.
  • Greater improvement was observed in PROMIS scores for patients with reported allergies.

Abstract

PRAs were not associated with worse outcomes after LIF and were linked to greater improvement in PROMIS scores. Psychiatric history, but not allergy count, was a strong predictor of reduced MCID attainment.
