Item Open Access Cost Benefit of Implementation of Risk Stratification Models for Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.(Global Spine J, 2023-12-11) Passias, Peter G; Williamson, Tyler K; Kummer, Nicholas A; Pellisé, Ferran; Lafage, Virginie; Lafage, Renaud; Serra-Burriel, Miguel; Smith, Justin S; Line, Breton; Vira, Shaleen; Gum, Jeffrey L; Haddad, Sleiman; Sánchez Pérez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Schoenfeld, Andrew J; Daniels, Alan H; Chou, Dean; Klineberg, Eric O; Gupta, Munish C; Kebaish, Khaled M; Kelly, Michael P; Hart, Robert A; Burton, Douglas C; Kleinstück, Frank; Obeid, Ibrahim; Shaffrey, Christopher I; Alanay, Ahmet; Ames, Christopher P; Schwab, Frank J; Hostin, Richard A; Bess, Shay; International Spine Study GroupSTUDY DESIGN/SETTING: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE: Assess the extent to which defined risk factors of adverse events are drivers of cost-utility in spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. METHODS: ASD patients with 2-year (2Y) data were included. Tertiles were used to define high degrees of frailty, sagittal deformity, blood loss, and surgical time. Cost was calculated using the Pearl Diver registry and cost-utility at 2Y was compared between cohorts based on the number of risk factors present. Statistically significant differences in cost-utility by number of baseline risk factors were determined using ANOVA, followed by a generalized linear model, adjusting for clinical site and surgeon, to assess the effects of increasing risk score on overall cost-utility. RESULTS: By 2 years, 31% experienced a major complication and 23% underwent reoperation. Patients with ≤2 risk factors had significantly less major complications. Patients with 2 risk factors improved the most from baseline to 2Y in ODI. Average cost increased by $8234 per risk factor (R2 = .981). Cost-per-QALY at 2Y increased by $122,650 per risk factor (R2 = .794). Adjusted generalized linear model demonstrated a significant trend between increasing risk score and increasing cost-utility (r2 = .408, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The number of defined patient-specific and surgical risk factors, especially those with greater than two, were associated with increased index surgical costs and diminished cost-utility. Efforts to optimize patient physiology and minimize surgical risk would likely reduce healthcare expenditures and improve the overall cost-utility profile for ASD interventions.Level of evidence: III.Item Open Access Development and validation of risk stratification models for adult spinal deformity surgery.(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2019-06) Pellisé, Ferran; Serra-Burriel, Miquel; Smith, Justin S; Haddad, Sleiman; Kelly, Michael P; Vila-Casademunt, Alba; Sánchez Pérez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Bess, Shay; Gum, Jeffrey L; Burton, Douglas C; Acaroğlu, Emre; Kleinstück, Frank; Lafage, Virginie; Obeid, Ibrahim; Schwab, Frank; Shaffrey, Christopher I; Alanay, Ahmet; Ames, Christopher; International Spine Study Group; European Spine Study GroupOBJECTIVE:Adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery has a high rate of major complications (MCs). Public information about adverse outcomes is currently limited to registry average estimates. The object of this study was to assess the incidence of adverse events after ASD surgery, and to develop and validate a prognostic tool for the time-to-event risk of MC, hospital readmission (RA), and unplanned reoperation (RO). METHODS:Two models per outcome, created with a random survival forest algorithm, were trained in an 80% random split and tested in the remaining 20%. Two independent prospective multicenter ASD databases, originating from the European continent and the United States, were queried, merged, and analyzed. ASD patients surgically treated by 57 surgeons at 23 sites in 5 countries in the period from 2008 to 2016 were included in the analysis. RESULTS:The final sample consisted of 1612 ASD patients: mean (standard deviation) age 56.7 (17.4) years, 76.6% women, 10.4 (4.3) fused vertebral levels, 55.1% of patients with pelvic fixation, 2047.9 observation-years. Kaplan-Meier estimates showed that 12.1% of patients had at least one MC at 10 days after surgery; 21.5%, at 90 days; and 36%, at 2 years. Discrimination, measured as the concordance statistic, was up to 71.7% (95% CI 68%-75%) in the development sample for the postoperative complications model. Surgical invasiveness, age, magnitude of deformity, and frailty were the strongest predictors of MCs. Individual cumulative risk estimates at 2 years ranged from 3.9% to 74.1% for MCs, from 3.17% to 44.2% for RAs, and from 2.67% to 51.9% for ROs. CONCLUSIONS:The creation of accurate prognostic models for the occurrence and timing of MCs, RAs, and ROs following ASD surgery is possible. The presented variability in patient risk profiles alongside the discrimination and calibration of the models highlights the potential benefits of obtaining time-to-event risk estimates for patients and clinicians.Item Open Access External validation of the adult spinal deformity (ASD) frailty index (ASD-FI)(European Spine Journal, 2018-09-01) Miller, Emily K; Vila-Casademunt, Alba; Neuman, Brian J; Sciubba, Daniel M; Kebaish, Khaled M; Smith, Justin S; Alanay, Ahmet; Acaroglu, Emre R; Kleinstück, Frank; Obeid, Ibrahim; Sánchez Pérez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Carreon, Leah Y; Schwab, Frank J; Bess, Shay; Scheer, Justin K; Lafage, Virginie; Shaffrey, Christopher I; Pellisé, Ferran; Ames, Christopher P; European Spine Study Group; International Spine Study Group© 2018, Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature. Purpose: To assess the ability of the recently developed adult spinal deformity frailty index (ASD-FI) to predict odds of perioperative complications, odds of reoperation, and length of hospital stay after adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery using a database other than the one used to create the index. Methods: We used the ASD-FI to calculate frailty scores for 266 ASD patients who had minimum postoperative follow-up of 2 years in the European Spine Study Group (ESSG) database. Patients were enrolled from 2012 through 2013. Using ASD-FI scores, we categorized patients as not frail (NF) (< 0.3 points), frail (0.3–0.5 points), or severely frail (SF) (> 0.5 points). Multivariable logistic regression, adjusted for preoperative and surgical factors such as operative time and blood loss, was performed to determine the relationship between ASD-FI category and odds of major complications, odds of reoperation, and length of hospital stay. Results: We categorized 135 patients (51%) as NF, 90 patients (34%) as frail, and 41 patients (15%) as SF. Overall mean ASD-FI score was 0.29 (range 0–0.8). The adjusted odds of experiencing a major intraoperative or postoperative complication (OR 4.5, 95% CI 2.0–10) or having a reoperation (OR 3.9, 95% CI 1.7–8.9) were higher for SF patients compared with NF patients. Mean hospital stay was 2.1 times longer (95% CI 1.8–2.4) for SF patients compared with NF patients. Conclusions: Greater patient frailty, as measured by the ASD-FI, is associated with longer hospital stays and greater odds of major complications and reoperation.
