The risks, reasons, and costs for 30- and 90-day readmissions after fusion surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract

Readmission rates were low for both 30- and 90-day readmissions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery patients. Nevertheless, readmissions are costly and appear to be associated with potentially modifiable risk factors, although some risk factors remain potentially unavoidable.
