Patients undergoing spinal deformity surgery before and after 2 PM have similar LOS and cost of care. However, the late SST cohort had increased likelihood of delayed extubation and non-home discharges, which increase cost in bundled payment models. These findings can be utilized in OR scheduling to optimize outcomes and minimize cost.
