Does operative time increase the risk of complications in adults undergoing spinal deformity surgery?
Does operative time increase the risk of complications in adults undergoing spinal deformity surgery?
Operative time is an independent risk factor for complications in adult spinal deformity surgery.

May support tracking of ODI/SRS-22r after deformity surgery; leaves open need for controlled trials before practice change.
Demographic information was collected at baseline.Healthrelated quality-of-life outcomes, including the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), back and leg pain numerical rating scale, and Scoliosis Research Society Patient Questionnaire (SRS-22r) were collected at all time points (baseline, six weeks, one year, and two years).Patient satisfaction was analyzed using the SRS-22r patient satisfaction domain.Radiographic parameters included sagittal vertical axis (SVA), pelvic tilt (PT), Pelvic Incidence (PI), Lumbar Lordosis (LL), and pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis mismatch (PI-LL).Total levels instrumented, operative time (minutes between incision and closing), length of hospital stay (days), and presence of threecolumn osteotomies were also assessed.Patient surgical date, complications, reoperation dates, and health-related quality-of-life outcomes were collected.Reoperation
