These data are especially important as nearly half of the adult population in the United States is expected to become obese (body mass index [BMI] \u2265 30 kg\/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;\/sup&gt;) by 2030. The goal of this study was to compare the demographics, perioperative variables, and complication rates following CDR.Methods: The 2005\u20132020 American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program datasets were queried for patients who underwent primary 1- or 2-level CDR. Patients were divided into 3 cohorts: Nonobese (BMI: 18.5\u201329.9 kg\/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;\/sup&gt;), Obese class-I (BMI: 30\u201334.9 kg\/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;\/sup&gt;), Obese class-II\/III (BMI \u2265 35 kg\/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;\/sup&gt;). Morbidity was defined as the presence of any complication within 30 days postoperatively. Rates of 30-day readmission, reoperation, morbidity, individual complications, length of stay, frequency of nonhome discharge disposition were collected.Results: A total of 5,397 patients were included for analysis: 3,130 were nonobese, 1,348 were obese class I, and 919 were obese class II\/III. There were more 2-level CDRs performed in the class II\/III cohort compared to the nonobese group (25.7% vs. 21.5%, respectively; p &lt; 0.05). Class-II\/III had more nonhome discharges than class I and nonobese (2.1% vs. 0.5% vs. 0.7%, respectively; p &lt; 0.001). Readmission rates differed as well (nonobese: 0.5%, class I: 1.1%, class II\/III: 2.1%; p &lt; 0.001) with pairwise significance between class II\/II and nonobese. Class II\/III obesity was an independent risk factor for both readmission (odds ratio [OR], 3.32; p = 0.002) and nonhome discharge (OR, 2.51; p = 0.02). Neither 30-day reoperation nor morbidity rates demonstrated significance. No mortalities were reported.Conclusion: Although obese class-II\/III were risk factors for 30-day readmission and nonhome discharge, there was no significant difference in reoperation rates or morbidity. CDR procedures can continue to be safely preformed independent of obesity status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14245\/ns.2346442.221","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,22]],"date-time":"2023-09-22T01:46:09Z","timestamp":1695347169000},"page":"890-898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14245\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Severe Obesity Is an Independent Risk Factor of Early Readmission and Nonhome Discharge After Cervical Disc Replacement"],"prefix":"10.14245","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0323-6716","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tejas","family":"Subramanian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6729-4352","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Daniel","family":"Shinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4903-9697","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pratyush","family":"Shahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0792-9739","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Izzet","family":"Akosman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1433-9078","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Troy","family":"Amen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2581-5447","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Omri","family":"Maayan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-0869-9379","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Eric","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0061-2640","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Kasra","family":"Araghi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4853-4736","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Junho","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4114-6116","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sidhant","family":"Dalal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9852-4133","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"James","family":"Dowdell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8338-9757","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sravisht","family":"Iyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7177-1756","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Sheeraz","family":"Qureshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5355","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nec.2019.08.009"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/00004623-199309000-00005"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14245\/ns.2040458.229"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"461","volume-title":"Cervical total disc replacement: long-term outcomes","author":"Callanan","year":"2021"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/brs.0000000000004493"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/nejmsa1909301"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1570750"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2007.6.4.1"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14245\/ns.2040236.118"},{"key":"ref10","first-page":"491","volume-title":"The department of veterans affairs\u2019 NSQIP: the first national, validated, outcome-based, risk-adjusted, and peer-controlled program for the measurement and enhancement of the quality of surgical care.
