Highlights
- •A total of 18.6% of surgically treated adult spinal deformity patients indicated they were unsure or would not undergo surgery again.
- •Patients indicating they were unsure or wound not have surgery again had more postoperative complications requiring surgery than patients indicating they would have surgery again.
- •Patients indicating they were unsure or wound not have surgery again had worse postoperative PROs and fewer percentages reaching minimal clinically important difference for SRS-22r and ODI than patients indicating they would have surgery again.
- •At minimum 2 year follow-up 93.0% of patients indicating they would have surgery again reported they were satisfied with the results of their back management compared 82.3% of unsure if they would have the same surgery again and 72.4% of patients that wound not have surgery again (p<.05).
- •Surgeons accurately identified patients indicating they would have surgery again (91.1%) but poorly identified patients indicating they wound not have surgery again (13.8%; p<.05).
