Impact of early unanticipated revision surgery on health-related quality of life after adult spinal deformity surgery.
Revision surgery represents a major event for patients undergoing adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery. Previous reports suggest that ASD surgery has minimal or no impact on health-related-quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes. ⋯ Early unanticipated revision surgery has a negative impact on mental health at 6 months and reduces the chances of reaching an MCID improvement in SRS-22, SF-36 PCS, and ODI at the 2-year follow-up.
