Despite understanding the associated adverse outcomes, identifying hospitalized patients at risk for sepsis is challenging. We aimed to characterize the epidemiology and clinical risk of sepsis in patients who have undergone vertebral fracture repair for traumatic spinal injury (TSI). We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of adults undergoing vertebral fracture repair during initial hospitalization following TSI encoded within the National Trauma Databank from 2011–2014. Of the 30,463 eligible patients undergoing vertebral fracture repair, 317 developed sepsis during initial hospitalization. Most presented following motor vehicle accident (63%) or fall (28%). Patients who developed sepsis had greater odds of being male (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.1–1.9), having diabetes (OR 1.5; 95% CI 1.11–2.1), and being obese (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.4–2.5). Additionally, they had greater odds of presenting with moderate (OR 2.7; 95% CI 1.8–4.2) or severe Glasgow Coma Scale scores (OR 3.9; 95% CI 2.9–5.2) and of having concomitant abdominal injuries (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.5–2.5) but not cranial, thoracic, or upper/lower extremity injuries. Interestingly, cervical spine injury was significantly associated with developing sepsis (OR 1.4; 95% CI 1.1–1.8), but thoracic and lumbar spine injuries were not. Spinal cord injury (OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.5–2.5) was also associated with sepsis regardless of level. Patients with sepsis were hospitalized approximately 16 days longer. They had greater odds of being discharged to rehabilitative care or home with rehabilitative care (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.8–3.2) and greater odds of death or discharge to hospice (OR 6.0; 95% CI 4.4–8.1). Among patients undergoing vertebral fracture repair, those with cervical spine fractures, spinal cord injuries, pre-existing comorbidities, and severe concomitant injuries are at highest risk for developing postoperative sepsis and experiencing adverse hospital disposition.
