Addressing barriers to access will be crucial for promoting health equity in continued utilization of telemedicine. The aim of this study was to determine if baseline frailty was an independent predictor of adverse events (AEs) and in-hospital mortality in patients being treated for acute cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). A retrospective cohort study was performed using the National Trauma Database (NTDB) from 2017. Adult patients (>18 years old) with acute cervical SCI were identified using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic and procedural coding systems. Patients were categorized into 3 cohorts based on the criteria of the 5-item modified frailty index (mFI-5) mFI= 0, mFI= 1, or mFI≥2. Patient demographics, comorbidities, type of injury, diagnostic and treatment modality, AEs, and in-patient mortality were assessed. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of in-hospital AEs and mortality. Of 8986 patients identified, 4990 (55.5%) were classified as mFI= 0, 2328 (26%) as mFI= 1, and 1668 (18.5%) as mFI≥2. and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing treatment for cervical SCI. Increasing frailty is associated with an increased risk of AEs and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing treatment for cervical SCI. Blood blister aneurysms are small, thin-walled, rapidly growing side-wall aneurysms that have proved particularly difficult to treat, and evidence-based guidance for treatment strategies is lacking. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to aggregate the available data and compare the 3 primary treatment modalities. We performed a comprehensive literature search according to PRISMA guidelines followed by an indirect meta-analysis that compares the safety and efficacy of surgical, flow-diverting stents (FDS
