Early Postoperative Adverse Events (≤ 30 Days) in Spinal Oncology: Defining the Incidence, Severity, and Predictors in a Mixed Prospective Cohort Including Intradural and Metastatic Spinal Tumors

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Complication reporting in spinal tumor surgery remains inconsistently defined. We aimed to quantify the incidence, severity, and spectrum of early (≤ 30 days) postoperative adverse events (AEs) in spinal tumor surgery and to identify predictors of overall and serious complications using standardized severity grading.
