Abstract
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is common and has a significant impact on health-related quality of life. Identification of risk factors for perioperative complications in ASD surgery is a priority for ensuring cost-effectiveness. Preoperative optimization of significant patient risk factors can benefit patient outcome. Establishing benchmarks for expected complications based upon known risk factors is an important goal for future studies on quality of care.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Spine Surgery is a continuing source of current, clinical information for practicing surgeons. Under the direction of a specially selected guest editor, each issue addresses a single topic in the management and care of patients. Topics covered in each issue include basic anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, management options and follow-up of the condition under consideration. The journal also features "Spinescope," a special section providing summaries of articles from other journals that are of relevance to the understanding of ongoing research related to the treatment of spinal disorders.
