Abstract

STUDY DESIGN: International, multi-center, prospective, longitudinal observational cohort.

OBJECTIVE: To assess how new motor deficits affect patient reported quality of life scores after adult deformity surgery.

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Adult spinal deformity surgery is associated with high morbidity, including risk of new post-operative motor deficit. It is unclear what effect new motor deficit has on HRQOL scores.

METHODS: Adult spinal deformity patients were enrolled prospectively at 15 sites worldwide. Other inclusion criteria included major Cobb >80 degrees, C7-L2 curve apex, and any patient undergoing 3 column osteotomy. ASIA scores and standard HRQOL scores were recorded pre-op, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 2 years.

RESULTS: 272 complex adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients enrolled. HRQOL scores were worse for patients with lower LEMS scores. Mean HRQOL changes at 6 weeks and 2 years compared to pre-op for patients with motor worsening were: ODI (+12.4 at 6 weeks and -4.7 at 2 years), SF-36v2 physical (-4.5 at 6 weeks and +2.3 at 2 years), SRS-22r (0.0 at 6 weeks and +0.4 at 2 years). Mean HRQOL changes for motor-neutral patients were: ODI (+0.6 at 6 weeks and -12.1 at 2 years), SF-36v2 physical (-1.6 at 6 weeks and +5.9 at 2 years), and SRS-22r (+0.4 at 6 weeks and +0.7 at 2 years). For patients with LEMS improvement, mean HRQOL changes were: ODI (-0.6 at 6 weeks and -16.3 at 2 years), SF-36v2 physical (+1.0 at 6 weeks and +7.0 at 2 years), and SRS-22r (+0.5 at 6 weeks and +0.9 at 2 years).

CONCLUSION: In the subgroup of deformity patients who developed a new motor deficit, total HRQOLs and HRQOL changes were negatively impacted. Patients with more than 2 points of LEMS worsening had the worst changes, but still showed overall HRQOL improvement at 6 months and 2 years compared to pre-op baseline.
