All patients with hyperostotic conditions of the spine are at a high risk of neurologic injury following even minor trauma. However, several studies have shown that patients with ankylosing spondylitis have higher rates of neurologic injury and complications related to treatment compared with individuals with DISH. A recent meta-analysis was unable to show a significantly increased risk of mortality for patients with ankylosing spondylitis relative to those with DISH (3-month mortality estimated at 17% to 20%).
