How Do Complications Within the First 30 days after Spinal Deformity Surgery in Children with Cerebral Palsy Affect Length of Stay?
CONCLUSION: Overall, 85% of patients with cerebral palsy had at least one complication after spinal deformity surgery and 25% had major complications (Grades III, IV, and V), with proportionate increases in the postoperative length of stay. Patient-specific factors aid in the identification of complication risk.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, prognostic study.
