Spine surgery complexity score predicts outcomes in 671 consecutive spine surgery patients

CONCLUSION: Categorizing procedures according to the SSCS may enable neurosurgeons to assess surgical risk and predict longer LOS courses after spine surgery. Thus, it may prove useful in preoperative patient evaluation/ education and determining a prognosis based on surgical complexity.PMID:34084633 | PMC:PMC8168653 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_46_2021
