“…Our study also supports the notion that the elderly are more often operated for cranially located lumbar segments than young and middle-aged adults (Dammers and Koehler 2002 , Werndle et al. 2012 ), and that elderly patients have more complications than young and middle-aged patients. However, even if differences at the group level are found, indicating inferior outcome in elderly patients than in younger ones, these differences and the clinical impact of them on any particular individual could be debated.…”

Background and purposeThe outcome of surgical treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) has been thoroughly evaluated in middle-aged patients, but less so in elderly patients.Patients and methodsWith validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and using SweSpine (the national Swedish Spine Surgery Register), we analyzed the preoperative clinical status of LDH patients and the 1-year postoperative outcome of LDH surgery performed over the period 2000–2012. We included 1,250 elderly patients (≥ 65 years of age) and 12,840 young and middle-aged patients (aged 20–64).ResultsGenerally speaking, elderly patients were referred for LDH surgery with worse PROM scores than young and middle-aged patients, they improved less by surgery, they experienced more complications, they had inferior 1-year postoperative PROM scores, and they were less satisfied with the outcome (with all differences being statistically significant).InterpretationElderly patients appear to have a worse postoperative outcome after LDH surgery than young and middle-aged patients, they are referred to surgery with inferior clinical status, and they improve less after the surgery.

“…A grande maioria dos trabalhos científicos relacionando coluna e idosos se referem a alterações estruturais, como a diminuição da densidade óssea (FERGUSON & STEFFEN, 2003) e o aparecimento de patologias como as hérnias de disco e desidratação dos discos intervertebrais (WERNDLE et al, 2012).…”
