There remains a gap in the literature regarding the role of chronic steroid therapy in predisposing patients to perioperative complications following elective posterior lumbar fusion (PLF). We aimed to identify the effects of chronic preoperative steroid therapy on 30-day perioperative complications in patients undergoing PLF.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective analysis was performed using the 2011-2014 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database. We identified 22\u2009903 patients who underwent elective PLF. There were 849 patients (3.7%) who received chronic preoperative steroid therapy. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to examine steroid therapy as an independent risk factor for 30-day perioperative complications. A subgroup analysis of patients on chronic steroid therapy was then performed to identify additional patient characteristics that further increased the risk for perioperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chronic preoperative steroid therapy was an independent risk factor for 7 perioperative complications, including superficial surgical site infection (SSI), deep SSI, wound dehiscence, urinary tract infection, pulmonary embolism, nonhome discharge, and readmission.
