PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether having an existing psychiatric disorder is a risk factor for developing post-operative infection following anterior cervical discectomy with fusion (ACDF) and posterior cervical fusion (PCF). RESULTS: A total of 34,007 patients within Humana database was included in this study. Patients with mental disorders had post-operative infection rates of 3.2% and 4.4% within 1 and 3months, compared to 2.5% and 3.5% in patients without a psychiatric disorder (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with mental disorders had significantly higher rates of post-operative infection compared to patients who were never diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.
