Senility, defecation disorders, sleep disorders, and non-operative spinal infections: A single-center retrospective analysis

Table 1 Comparison of age and gender between non-operative spinal infections patients and healthy controls

Group	Age (year)	t value	P value	Gender		χ2	P value
				Man	Female
Healthy (84)	59.18 ± 17.111	1.677	0.096	43	41	0.003	0.954
NOSI (69)	63.55 ± 14.635			35	34

There was no statistical difference in age and sex between the two groups. NOSI: Non-operative spinal infections.

Table 2 Comparison of sleep and defecation between non-operative spinal infections patients and healthy controls

Group	Sleep condition		χ2	P valuea	Defecation		χ2	P valueb
	Normal	Abnormal			Normal	Abnormal
Healthy	59	25	24.057	< 0.001	59	25	22.368	< 0.001
NOSI	21	48			22	47

^aThere were statistically significant differences in sleep disorders between the two groups (P < 0.001).

^bThere were statistically significant differences in defecation disorders between the two groups (P < 0.001).

NOSI: Non-operative spinal infections.

Table 3 Binary Logistics regression analysis of age, gender, defecation, sleep and non-operative spinal infections

Factors	B	S.E.	P value	Exp(B)	EXP(B) 95%CI
Age	0.001	0.012	0.938	1.001	0.977-1.025
Gender	-0.177	0.377	0.638	0.837	0.400-1.754
defecation	1.417	0.378	< 0.001	4.125	1.965-8.659
sleep	1.515	0.383	< 0.001	4.551	2.148-9.639

Defecation disorders and sleep disorders were closely related to non-operative spinal infections (both P < 0.001).
