To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review discussing the incidence of and risk factors for DT in the ASD population. We found that the risk factors for DT in ASD patients were older age, revision surgery, chronic severe compression, a greater degree of osteotomy, complexity of surgery, RA, and a higher ASA grade. These findings will help guide spine surgeons in patient counseling as well as surgical planning.
