What is Infectious Complications of Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation: A Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis of Incidence about?
## Background and objectives: Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (drgs) is a newer form of neuromodulation that targets the dorsal root ganglion. drgs has superior efficacy in complex regional pain syndrome compared to spinal cord stimulation (scs) and may have efficacy in other forms of chronic pain. while decades of safety data are available for scs, there is less available safety information for drgs. the objectives of this systematic review and pooled analysis of incidence are to determine the overall incidence of drgs infections, incidence at each stage (trial vs implant vs revision), infection characteristics, and outcomes. ## Materials and methods: A comprehensive search of databases from january 1980 to january 2021 was conducted. ## Results: Ten studies met inclusion criteria. eight studies reported patients with trial data (n = 291), ten studies reported patients with implant data (n = 250), and seven studies reported data with revisions (n = 26). the pooled incidence of trial infections was 1.03% (95% ci 0.35-2.99%), implant infections was 4.80% (95% ci 2.77-8.20%), revision infections was 3.85% (95% ci 0.20-21.59%), and overall infections was 2.82% (95% ci 1.62-4.54%). th
