Spontaneous vertebral osteomyelitis (VO) is a serious spinal infection with a rising incidence. Risk factors have been proposed, but there is limited literature on calculated risk due to small samples. The objective is to use a large national database to determine the incidence and risk factors of developing VO over an 11-year period.
