Patients with ASD who underwent fusion surgery (\u22655 levels) stopping at L5 were analyzed. DJF was defined as symptomatic adjacent segment pathology at the lumbosacral junction necessitating consideration for revision surgery. Demographic data and radiographic measurements were compared between the DJF and non-DJF groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to identify the radiographic cutoff value for DJF.Results: Among 76 patients, 16 (21.1%) experienced DJF. DJF was associated with older age, antidepressant\/anxiolytic medication, longer level of fusions, and worse preoperative sagittal alignment. Antidepressant\/anxiolytic medication (odds ratio, 5.60) and preoperative pelvic incidence (PI)\u2013lumbar lordosis (LL) mismatch&gt;40\u00b0 (odds ratio, 5.87) were independent risk factors for DJF. Without both factors, the incidence of DJF has been greatly reduced (9.1%). Two radiographic criteria were determined for DJF: last distal junctional angle (DJA)&gt;-5\u00b0 and \u0394 last DJA\u2013post DJA&gt;5\u00b0. When both criteria were met, the sensitivity and specificity of the DJF were 93.3% and 91.7%, respectively.Conclusion: Use of antidepressant\/anxiolytic medication and preoperative PI\u2013LL mismatch &gt;40\u00b0 were independent risk factors for DJF. DJF could be diagnosed using postoperative changes in the DJA. If both criteria were met, DJF could be strongly suggested.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14245\/ns.2448122.061","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,27]],"date-time":"2024-09-27T00:30:29Z","timestamp":1727397029000},"page":"856-864","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.14245\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Distal
