Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the 1-year recurrence rate for LDH in 209 consecutive patients undergoing microdiscectomy (2013–2018). Results: Utilizing a multivariate analysis, higher body mass index (BMI) and postsurgery Oswestry disability index (ODI) were significantly associated with an increased risk of rLDH. Conclusion: Elevated postsurgery ODI and higher BMI were significantly associated with increased risk of rLDH.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/ba4d266d-172a-4e4a-967a-499b2bea15b3/featured/hero-1782420866113.png","publishDate":"2019-03-26T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.25259/SNI-22-2019","categories":["Spine","Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"http://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/9248/SNI-10-36.pdf"}
