A retrospective single-center study identified adult patients admitted for Spinal Epidural Abscess between 2013-2023. Cohort characteristics were collected from patient medical records. T-test, Wilcoxon rank-sum, ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis, and chi-squared tests were used to compare variables. Multivariable linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted for demographics, hospital stay, discharge disposition, readmission, reoperation, and whether improvement was present.
Collected patient medical records on the evolution of spinal epidural abscess management, including multidisciplinary treatment strategies, and tailored surgical approaches.
Conducted a retrospective analysis of 162 patients with spinal epidural abscesses, examining clinical characteristics, surgical outcomes, and correlations between symptom duration, microbial agents, and hospital proximity. Key findings included a 75.3% clinical improvement rate post-treatment, with Staphylococcus aureus as the most common pathogen (30.9%).
