The role of bone mineral density in adult spinal deformity patients undergoing corrective surgery: a matched analysis.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Background: Over 44 million adults are estimated to have either osteoporosis or osteopenia. Adult spinal deformity (ASD) is estimated to affect between 32 and 68% of the elderly population.

Association Between Social Determinants of Health and Postoperative Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Single-Level Lumbar Fusions: A Matched Analysis.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze association between social determinants of health (SDH) disparity on postoperative complication rates, and 30-day and 90-day all-cause readmission in patients undergoing single-level lumbar fusions.

Summary Of Background Data: Decreasing postoperative complication rates is of great interest to surgeons and healthcare systems.
