Study Design. Retrospective database analysis.Objective. A nationwide population-based database was analyzed to identify the incidence, risk factors, and mortalities associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE) after cervical spine surgery.Summary of Background Data. Pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are potential complications that may occur after orthopedic procedures. Incidences of these complications are not well characterized after cervical spine surgery.Methods. Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database were obtained from 2002 to 2009. Patients undergoing anterior cervical fusion, posterior cervical fusion, and posterior cervical decompression (i.e., laminoforaminotomy, laminectomy, laminoplasty) for the diagnosis of cervical myelopathy and/or radiculopathy were identified. Incidences of PE and DVT were calculated. Comorbidities were calculated using the modified Charlson Comorbidity Index. Mortality associated with these complications was assessed in the 3 surgical subgroups. Statistical analysis was performed to assess significant differences between groups. Logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of VTE. A P value of
