Prospective Multicenter Assessment of Intraoperative and Perioperative Complication Rates Associated with Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD) Surgery in 558 Patients

Introduction Few previous studies have focused on early (intraoperative and perioperative) complication rates for ASD surgery, with reported overall rates ranging from ~10% to 75%. However, most available studies are relatively small single- center series and likely underestimate complication rates...

Description
Summary:Introduction Few previous studies have focused on early (intraoperative and perioperative) complication rates for ASD surgery, with reported overall rates ranging from ~10% to 75%. However, most available studies are relatively small single- center series and likely underestimate complication rates due to retrospective design and lack of rigorous collection of complications. Accurately defining the early complication rates is particularly important for patient counseling with regard to the risks and benefits of surgical treatment. Material and Methods As part of a prospective ASD database, standardized collection forms, on-site coordinators and auditing helped ensure complete capture of complications. Intraop and periop (
