Relative to two-level ACDF patients, two-level CDA patients were found to have significantly lower odds of 90-day readmissions and minor adverse events (dysphagia), while rates of major adverse events (pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, sepsis, etc.) were comparable between the groups. Further CDA patients had lower cost of overall care, but no difference in five-year survival to cervical spine reoperation. Thus, it may be appropriate to further consider CDA when two-level surgery is pursued.
