PG - 94-103 LID - 10.1093/ons/opab153 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Operative treatment of adult spinal deformity (ASD) can be very challenging with high complication rates. It is well established that patients benefit from such treatment; however, the surgical outcomes for patients with severe sagittal deformity have not been reported. OBJECTIVE: To report the outcomes of patients undergoing surgical correction for severe sagittal deformity. METHODS: Retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter ASD database. Inclusion criteria: operative patients age >/=18, sagittal vertical axis (SVA) >/=15 cm, mismatch between pelvic incidence and lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) >/=30 degrees , and/or lumbar kyphosis >/=5 degrees with minimum 2 yr follow-up. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores including minimal clinically important difference (MCID)/substantial clinical benefit (SCB), sagittal and coronal radiographic values, demographic, frailty, surgical, and complication data were collected. Comparisons between 2 yr postoperative and baseline HRQOL/radiographic data were made. P < .05 was significant. RESULTS: A total of 138 patients were included from 502 operative patients (54.3% Female, Average (Avg) age 63.3 +/- 11.5 yr). Avg operating room (OR) time 386.2 +/- 136.5 min, estimated blood loss (EBL) 1829.8 +/- 1474.6 cc. A total of 71(51.4%) had prior fusion. A total of 89.9% were posterior fusion only. Mean posterior levels fused 11.5 +/- 4.1. A total of 44.9% had a 3-column osteotomy. All 2 yr postoperative radiographic parameters were significantly improved compared to baseline (P < .001 for all). All 2yr HRQOL measures were significantly improved compared to baseline (P < .004 for all). A total of 46.6% to 73.8% of patients met either MCID/SCB for all HRQOL. A total of 74.6% of patients had at least 1 complication, 11.6% had 4 or more complications, 33.3% had minimum 1 major complication, and 42(30.4%) had a postop revision. CONCLUSION: Patients with severe sagittal malalignment benefit from surgical correction at 2 yr postoperative both radiographically and clinically despite having a high complication rate.
