No study has evaluated the relationship between increasing BMI and severity/type of cervical spine injuries.
The objective of our study was to study the impact of body mass index (BMI) on severity of cervical spine fracture.
We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients with traumatic cervical spine fractures at a level I trauma center over a 74-year period. CT scans of the cervical spine were blindly graded according to the AO Spine sub-axial cervical spine classification. The association between BMI and severity of cervical spine fracture was studied by multiple-variable logistic regression.
A total of 291 patients with an average BMI of 26.1 ± 5.4 kg/m were studied. Higher BMI was not associated with more severe injury (OR 1.03, 95%, CI: 0.97-1.08). For rollover motor vehicle accident (MVA), the association was trending towards significance (OR 2.55, 95%, CI: 0.98-6.66, = 0.06).
Patients with higher BMI may be predisposed to more severe cervical spine fracture in rollover MVA, but not non-rollover MVA or falls.
尚无研究评估体重指数(BMI)增加与颈椎损伤严重程度/类型之间的关系。
本研究的目的是探讨体重指数(BMI)对颈椎骨折严重程度的影响。
我们对一家一级创伤中心74年间创伤性颈椎骨折患者进行了一项回顾性队列研究。根据AO脊柱下颈椎分类标准对颈椎CT扫描结果进行盲法分级。通过多变量逻辑回归研究BMI与颈椎骨折严重程度之间的关联。
共研究了291例平均BMI为26.1±5.4kg/m的患者。较高的BMI与更严重的损伤无关(比值比1.03,95%置信区间:0.97 - 1.08)。对于翻车机动车事故(MVA),这种关联有显著趋势(比值比2.55,95%置信区间:0.98 - 6.66,P = 0.06)。
BMI较高的患者在翻车机动车事故中可能更容易发生更严重的颈椎骨折,但在非翻车机动车事故或跌倒中则不然。
