Popis: Abstract To investigate the relationship between preoperative blood glucose levels and long-term all-cause mortality in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCF) who underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty (VP). This single-center retrospective study involved a chart review of patients admitted for VP to treat OVCF between 2013 and 2020. Patients with pathological or multiple fractures or those who did not undergo bone mineral density assessment were excluded. All relevant information was collected from electronic medical records. The survival status of all patients was confirmed at the end of March 2021. Cox proportional hazard models with multivariate adjustments were used to examine the effects of blood glucose levels on all-cause mortality. Overall, 131 patients were retrospectively analyzed (mean age: 75.8 ± 9.3 years, male patients: 26.7%) with a median follow-up period of 2.1 years. Preoperative hyperglycemia (hazard ratio: 2.668, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.064, 6.689; p = 0.036) and glucose levels (hazard ratio: 1.007, 95% CI 1.002–1.012; p = 0.006) were found to be independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause mortality. This correlation remained significant even after adjusting for age and sex, and other factors and comorbidities that might affect outcomes (hazard ratio: 2.708, 95% CI 1.047, 7.003, p = 0.040 and 1.007; 95% CI 1.001, 1.013, p = 0.016, respectively). Furthermore, a history of diabetes mellitus was not a significant factor influencing long-term all-cause mortality. Preoperative glucose levels were found to be independently associated with survival outcomes in patients with OVCF who underwent VP. Conversely, diabetes mellitus was not associated with long-term all-cause mortality. Our findings highlight that preoperative hyperglycemia is a risk factor for long-term mortality in this aging surgical population.
