Disparities in postoperative complications and perioperative events based on insurance status following elective spine surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Increasing evidence demonstrates disparities among patients with differing insurance statuses in the field of spine surgery. However, no pooled analyses have performed a robust review characterizing differences in postoperative outcomes among patients with varying insurance types.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of the PUBMED, MEDLINE(R), ERIC, and EMBASE was performed for studies comparing postoperative outcomes in patients with private insurance versus government insurance.

Gender disparities in postoperative outcomes following elective spine surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Several studies have described disparities between male and female patients following spine surgery, but no pooled analyses have performed a robust review characterizing differences in postoperative outcomes based on gender. The purpose of this study was to broadly assess the effects of gender on postoperative outcomes following elective spine surgery.

Methods: Between November 2022 and March 2023, PubMed, MEDLINE, ERIC, and Embase were queried using artificial intelligence-assisted software for relevant cohort studies.

Racial Differences in Perioperative Complications, Readmissions, and Mortalities After Elective Spine Surgery in the United States: A Systematic Review Using AI-Assisted Bibliometric Analysis.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of race on post-operative outcomes and complications following elective spine surgery in the United States.

Methods: PUBMED, MEDLINE(R), ERIC, EMBASE, and SCOPUS were searched for studies documenting peri-operative events for White and African American (AA) patients following elective spine surgery.
