Abstract
Retrospective cohort study. Many patients undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF) for scoliosis have concurrent cerebral palsy (CP), which is associated with many medical comorbidities and inherent operative risk. We aimed to quantify the contribution of CP to increased cost, length of stay (LOS), and complication rates in patients with scoliosis undergoing PSF. Using the National Inpatient Sample database, we collected data regarding patient demographics, hospital characteristics, comorbidities, in-hospital complications, and mortality. Primary outcomes included complications, hospital LOS, and total hospital costs. Multivariate regression models assessed the contribution of CP to in-hospital complications, discharge status, and mortality. Linear regression identified the contribution of a diagnosis of CP on hospital LOS and inflation-adjusted cost. Cerebral palsy was an independent predictor of several complications. The most striking differences were seen for mortality (odds ratio [OR]: 3.40, P < .001), a postoperative requirement for total parenteral nutrition (OR: 3.16, P < .001), urinary tract infection (OR: 2.75, P < .001), surgical site infection (OR: 2.67, P < .001), and pneumonia (2.21, P < .001). Patients with CP ul...Continue Reading
