Risk Factors for Postoperative Infections After Single-Level Lumbar Fusion Surgery.
TL;DR: It is identified that obesity, advanced American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, and longer operative time were predictive of postoperative SSI, and increased age, female sex, serum creatinine more than 1.5 mg/dL, and prolonged operative duration are associated with non-SSI infectious complications after SLLF.

Risk Factors for Complications Differ Between Stages of Tissue-Expander Breast Reconstruction.
TL;DR: Complications occur at higher rates after stage I than after stage II, and as expected, stage III complications are exceedingly rare.

Predictors of Adverse Events After Parotidectomy A Review of 2919 Cases
TL;DR: Although complication rates after parotidectomy are generally low, avoidance of specific and nonspecific postoperative complications still remains an area for improvement.

Spine surgeon specialty is not a risk factor for 30-day complication rates in single-level lumbar fusion: a propensity score-matched study of 2528 patients.
TL;DR: The analysis demonstrates that spine surgeon specialty is not a risk factor for any of the reported 30-day complications in patients undergoing single-level lumbar fusion, and these data support the currently dichotomous paradigm of training for spine surgeons.

Predictors for Airway Complications Following Single- and Multilevel Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion.
TL;DR: While ACDF is considered a safe procedure, postoperative airway complication can lead to disastrous outcome, continued efforts to elucidate preoperative risk factors and subsequent optimization are warranted to improve outcomes in ACDF.
