The authors sought to characterize socioeconomic and demographic elements associated with spondylodiscitis to better understand community factors placing patients at risk of this infection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All cases of spondylodiscitis at an urban, tertiary-level academic hospital since 2015 were surveyed. The zip code of residence for all patients with spondylodiscitis was captured and a referral map of the authors\u2019 urban center was created, demonstrating whether these areas had spondylodiscitis cases as well as the case density. A validated database of public data was used to compare demographic and socioeconomic factors between zip codes with and without cases of spondylodiscitis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two-hundred sixty-two cases with complete datasets between September 2015 and July 2021 were identified. Thirty-seven of the 56 zip codes within the authors\u2019 urban center had discitis cases, ranging from 1 to 4 (median 2) per zip code. Zip codes with spondylodiscitis cases had a higher median housing density (2.4 vs 1.8, p = 0.004), higher percentage of minority residents (59.0% vs 31.9%, p = 0.011), greater proportion of residents younger than 20 years (26.8% vs 16.2%, p = 0.001), higher rates of residents below the poverty level (17.4% vs 8.8%, p = 0.007), lower median annual income ($52,193 vs $103,173, p &lt; 0.001), lower median rent and home value (p &lt; 0.001 and p = 0.021, respectively), and lower rates of high school graduation and higher education (both p &lt; 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first time that the incidence of spondylodiscitis has been demonstrated to be strongly associated with regions of poverty and worse socioeconomic indicators, independent of healthcare referral patterns.
