9%) lost at least 2.3 kg, 9450 (35.3%) gained at least 2.3 kg, and 4758 (17.8%) were unchanged. After surgery, 4853 (18.1%) lost at least 11.3 kg and 1360 (5.1%) lost at least 22.7 kg. At a mean of 1.9 years after index surgery, mean postoperative weight was 92.5 kg, and BMI was 29.4. Of the 65 667 patients, 23 125 (35.2%) patients lost at least 2.3 kg, 27 571 (42.0%) gained at least 2.3 kg, and 14 971 (23.0%) remained within 2.3 kg of their preoperative weight. The study results will aid in counseling patients regarding realistic expectations about weight loss after spinal surgery. 4. This evidence will allow for realistic patient counseling regarding the likelihood of weight loss after elective spinal surgery. This evidence will allow for realistic patient counseling regarding the likelihood of weight loss after elective spinal surgery. The deleterious effect of diabetes mellitus on surgical outcomes is well documented for joint replacement surgery. We analyzed the large national US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) database for patients who had undergone elective spinal surgery. We retrospectively searched the VA database and identified 174 520 spine cases. There were 7766 (4.5%) wound infections and 49 271 (28%) had hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) testing (range 3.0-17.8) prior to surgery. In the preoperative HbA1c-checked group, there were 2941 (6.0% of 49 271) infections and in the without-preoperative HbA1c group, there were 4825 (3.9% of 125 249) infections. The distribution of infections was significantly different (χ = 372.577, < .0001) and suggests a 2.12% increase in the absolute risk of infection based on the presence of preoperative HbA1c testing, regardless of the result. Logistic regression revealed a preoperative HbA1c test was associated with an odds ratio of 1.435 for infection (confidence interval 1.367-1.505, < .0001). In a separate model based on HbA1c levels, we found that HbA1c is a significant predictor of infection with an odds ratio of 1.042 (confidence interval 1.017-1.068, = .0009) for each 1% increase in the test result. This analysis differs from using a strict cutoff value of HbA1c of 6.5%. Similar testing for body mass index and age yielded an odds ratio of 1.027 for each increase of 1 kg/m and an odds ratio of 1.009 for each 1-year increase in age respectively. Hemoglobin A1c testing, HgA1c value, body mass index, and age all contribute to the risk of wound infection after elective spine surgery in a large national VA population. These data can be used to estimate surgical risks and to aid in patient counseling about proposed spine surgery. 4. 4. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabis derivative that has been popularized as a medicinal product with analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Given the anecdotal observations that several patients have reported use of CBD for spine-related pain, this study was designed to characterize CBD consumption patterns and perceived effects in patients with spine-related complaints. The study design was a cross-sectional survey. Over a 4-week period, an anonymous paper survey was administered to all patients presenting for evaluation by 1 of 9 spine surgeons at a single institution. Surveys were given upon registration for the office visit and collected by the office manager or nurse before evaluation by the surgeon. Patients were included regardless of surgical status (ie, preoperative, postoperative, or nonoperative) or region of pathology (lumbar, thoracic, or cervical). The survey consisted of multiple-choice questions on patient patterns of CBD use. Out of 300 surveys, 214 (71%) were completed. CBD use for spine-related pain was reported by 54 (25.2%) patients. CBD was initially used for potential relief of back pain (66.7%), neck pain (37.0%), leg pain (35.2%), and/or arm pain (9.3%). Users also sought improvements in insomnia (25.9%) and mood (18.5%). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/eliglustat.html Oil was the most popular formulation (64.8%). CBD was most often consumed 2-5 times (40.7%) or 6-10 times (31.5%) per week. The most common source of initial recommendation for CBD was friends or family (75.9%). Reported benefits were pain relief (46.3%), improved sleep (33.3%), and reduced anxiety (20.4%); however, 24.1% of patients reported no benefit from CBD use. The most reported side effect was fatigue (7.4%). Most users (63.0%) would recommend CBD to a friend for pain relief. CBD is already used by many patients, and further high-quality research on this supplement is essential. 4. CBD is a commonly used by spine patients as an off label treatment. CBD is a commonly used by spine patients as an off label treatment. Varicella is a common, usually benign, and autolimited disease in children but can lead to severe complications and hospitalization. With this study, we aim to analyze all varicella hospitalizations to provide epidemiological information to help outline preventive policies. We assessed all varicella hospitalizations in children aged 0 to 17 years, from 2000 to 2015, in mainland, public Portuguese hospitals using a Portuguese administrative database. Seasonality, geographic distribution, severity, complications, risk factors, use of diagnostic and treatment procedures and hospitalization costs were analyzed. A total of 5120 hospitalizations were registered, with an annual rate of 17.3 hospitalizations per 100 000 inhabitants. A higher number of hospitalizations occurred during the summer period and in Southern regions. The median length of stay was of 4 days (interquartile range 3.0-7.0). We found a high rate of severe complications, mostly dermatologic (19.6%), neurologic (6.0%), and respiratory (5.1%). Of the total number of patients, 0.8% were immunocompromised and 0.1% were pregnant. Total direct hospitalization costs during the 16-year period were estimated to be 7 110 719€ (8 603 970 USD), with a mean annual cost of 444 419.92€ (537 748.10 USD). This is the first national study in which useful epidemiological data to evaluate the burden and impact of varicella in Portugal is provided.
