Cost-Effectiveness of Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
Anthony Michael AlvaradoBryan A SchatmeyerPaul M ArnoldPublished in: Global spine journal (2020)
Operative management for adult spinal deformity has been shown to be effective but is associated with significant cost and resource utilization. The optimal operative treatment is highly dependent on the patients' symptomatology and is surgeon dependent. Maximizing preoperative surgical health and minimizing postoperative complications are key measures in reducing the cost and resource utilization of adult spinal deformity surgery. Future studies are needed to evaluate how to optimize the cost-effectiveness.
