Dysphagia Should Be Reported As A Separate Legacy Outcome Measure After Anterior Cervical Discectomy And Fusion, Philip Zakko, Rafid Kasir, Nai-Wei Chen, Daniel K. Park

Conference Presentation Abstracts

INTRODUCTION: Dysphagia is a common complication after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) but is not a routinely asked question in legacy patient-reported outcome measures. This study looks to see whether there are associations between dysphagia and legacy outcome measures. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 168 patients who underwent ACDF surgery from 2017 to 2019 at a single institution. Demographics, anthropometric data, Neck disability index (NDI), visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores, PROMIS-Health and -Mental scores, Charlson Comorbidities Index (CCI), and Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) were obtained for each patient preop and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postop. Repeated measure …
