Abstract
Study DesignRetrospective cohort.ObjectiveLimited evidence exists for outcomes after elective cervical and lumbar fusion in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH). This study aimed to compare perioperative and patient-reported outcomes between patients with AS/DISH and matched control patients.MethodsAdults with AS/DISH undergoing primary elective ACDF, PCDF, PLDF, or TLIF from 2004-2023 were identified. AS/DISH patients were propensity score matched (1:3) to controls without ankylosing disorders. Outcomes included readmission rates, discharge disposition, revision/reoperation, and patient-reported outcome measures at baseline and follow-up. Chi-square and t-tests were used, with
