  • - The study investigates the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs) following posterior cervical instrumented fusion (PCIF), finding that higher BMI increases the likelihood of SSIs for both trauma and nontraumatic patients.
  • - An analysis was conducted on 1,406 patients who underwent PCIF between April 2011 and October 2017, utilizing a prospectively collected surgical registry to gather data on demographics, BMI, and other relevant factors.
  • - The main outcome measured was the incidence of SSIs that necessitated a return to the operating room, assessed using logistic regression to evaluate the influence of each unit increase in BMI on SSI risk.
