Fig.7.6a–e(a,b)A64-year-oldwoman with degenerative lumbar scoliosiswas treated with Luqueinstrumentation 9
yearsagoin another hospital.PosteriorinstrumentationfromT5 toS1withanL1PSO wasperformedintherevision
surgery. (c) However,immediate postoperative coronalimbalance toward the convex side was noted. (d) Twoyears
later,therodfractured at therightsideof L2. (e)A second revision surgerywas performedwithsatellite rods. Both
coronalandsagittalbalancewasrestoredat6months’follow-up.
Anovelclassificationsystemhasbeendevisedforthecoronalbalancepatterninadult
scoliosis: type A, balanced; type B, imbalanced on the concave side; and type C,
imbalanced on the convex side. For a preoperative coronal pattern of type A or B, the
three-columnosteotomyshouldbeperformedrightattheapexfromtheconvexside.For
typeC,theoptimalstrategyofosteotomybeginsfromtheconcavesideofthemaincurve,
atamoredistallevel,usuallyattheL4vertebraorL4/5disk,followedbycorrectionofthe
apical region. For instrumentationfailure due to postoperative coronal decompensation,
revision surgery focuses on reinforcing the local construction, using in-line rod
connectors,cross-links,orsatelliterods.
Pearls
Consulttheclassificationsystemthathasbeendevisedforpreoperativecoronalbalancepatterninadultscoliosis.
Identifythefactorsthatdifferentiatedegenerativeandidiopathicadultscoliosis.
Keepinmindthatdiskdegenerationmaycontributetospinalimbalanceandcurveseverity.
Evaluatetheriskfactorsofpostoperativecoronaldecompensation.
Beawareofrevisionoptionsforinstrumentationfailureduetopostoperativecoronalimbalance.
Pitfalls
Postoperativecoronaldecompensationcanoccurafterosteotomyattheapex.
Postoperativecoronaldecompensationmayresultininstrumentationfailureandlossofcorrection.

Measuring Outcome and Value in Adult
DeformitySurgery
RobertWaldropandSigurdBerven
Introduction
Thedefinition ofahealth-related outcomevaries inthe literatureand mayencompass a
spectrum of measures. Clinical outcome is the end result of health care delivered to
patients or populations, and entails such considerations as quality, patient-based
assessment, and value of care. Measuring outcomes is complex, and there is no single
measure that summarizes the patient’s experience, the hospital perspective, the payer
perspective, and the treating physician’s perspective. Therefore, outcomes must be
consideredbroadlyandencompassaspectrumofperspectivesandmeasures.Thischapter
discussesmeasuresofhealth-relatedqualityoflife(HRQOL),andtheapplicationofthese
measurementsinassessingoutcomesofspinaldeformitysurgery.
Outcomemeasurementisanimportantaspect ofsurgeonaccountabilityandisvitalin
determining the quality and value of health care. Quality may be evaluated based on
process measures, objective health outcomes, patient-reported outcome measurements,
andcostofcare.Valueisabroadermeasurethatincorporatesananalysisofbothquality
andcost.Thischapterprovidesanoverviewofvariousoutcomemeasuresusedforspinal
deformity,andfindingsfromtheliteratureonoutcomesinadultspinaldeformitysurgery.
ProcessMeasures
Processmeasuresareareflectionofhowcareisdelivered.Examplesincludecompliance
withantibioticorthromboembolicprophylaxisguidelines,theuseofsurgical“time-outs”
beforesurgery,preoperativeriskassessmentsofpatients,andimplementingpostoperative
careprotocols forthe preventionof commonpostoperative complications.The utilityof
process measures depends on how reliably they are linked to clinical outcomes. For
example,measuringcompliancewithpreoperativeantibioticguidelinesisusefulinthatit
maypredictareductionintheincidenceofsurgicalsiteinfections.Althoughtheyarean
indirectmeasure ofquality,theimplementation andmeasurement ofsuchguidelinesare
importantinstandardizingcareandimprovingquality.
PhysiologicalOutcomeMeasures
Physiological outcomes represent clinical health metrics that may be measured
objectively.Inadultspinaldeformity,these mayincluderadiographic outcomes,implant
survival, and fusion rates. Cobb angle, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and spinopelvic
parametersincludingpelvicincidence(PI),pelvictilt(PT),sacralslope(SS),andlumbar
lordosis(LL)areallimportantradiographicmeasurementsinspinal deformity.Although
these outcomes are easy to measure and interpret, it is important to evaluate clinical
measurements in relation to their correlation with quality measurements (e.g., do
radiographicoutcomespredictreoperationrates?).
QualityMeasures
Traditionalmeasurementsofqualityincludeoutcomes suchasoperativetime andlength
of hospitalstay,as wellas rates ofcomplications, reoperations, andreadmissions. Such
measuresprovideimportantinformationthatmaybeusedtocomparetheperformanceof
individualprovidersandhospitalsandtoestablishmetricsfor performanceand goalsfor
qualityimprovement.However,overallqualityofcareencompassesmuchmorethanthese
traditionallyreportedqualitymetrics.
Quality metrics are valuable in identifying outliers, and in improving care processes
and pathways. However, overall quality measures are distinct from patient-centered
clinicaloutcomemeasures.Oneimportantconcernregardingrelianceonqualitymeasures
isthepossibilitythatmeasuringqualityalonemayleadtoafocusonoutcomesthatarenot
patient-centered. If the target for outcome were only length of stay or avoidance of
readmission,thenthatgoalmayincentivizesignificantundertreatmentofcomplex spinal
disorders.Fig.8.1provides anexampleofacaseinwhichapatientunderwentalimited
decompression and posterior-based tethering procedure for a complex spinal deformity.
Measured by only length of stay or complications of care, the limited decompression
surgery would be rated as a high-quality outcome. However, the patient had no
improvementin herhealthstatus orinher deformitymeasures.The patientunderwenta
revision surgery3 years after the indexprocedureand was treated with athree-column
osteotomy for multiplanar realignment of the spine. The revision surgery resulted in a
longer stay, higher cost, and more risk and potential for complication than the index
surgery.However,thepatientreportedadramaticimprovementinhealthstatusthatisnot
captured by the qualitymetrics alone. It is important to avoid myopic focuson quality
metricswithoutgivingprioritytopatient-centeredmeasuresofclinicaloutcomesinspinal
deformity.
Patient-ReportedOutcomes
Although process measures, physiological outcomes, and traditional quality metrics are
important toolsfor assessing health care quality,they do not reflectthe patient’shealth
careexperienceortheimpactofcareonHRQOL.Therehasbeenanincreasingemphasis
on patient-based health assessments in recent years. Patient-reportedoutcomemeasures
(PROMs)mayincludeaspectrumofdomainstoassessHRQOL.Frequentlyuseddomains
include disability/functional status, pain and other symptoms, emotional/psychological
well-being,generalhealthstatus,andsatisfactionwithhealthcareexperience.TheVisual
AnalogueScale(VAS)forpainassessmentisanothercommonlyusedoutcomemeasure.
Measurement tools for patient-reported outcomes include both disease-specific and
general health status measures. Disease-specific measures focus on domains associated
with a particular condition or patient population, and have the advantage of increased
responsiveness to change (there is a more reliable change in outcome score as the
underlyingconditionchanges)comparedwithgeneralhealthstatusmeasures.Examplesof
specificoutcometoolsincludetheScoliosisResearchSociety(SRS-22)questionnaire,the
OswestryDisabilityIndex(ODI),andtheNeckDisabilityIndex(NDI).
Generalhealthstatusoutcomestoolsareadvantageousinthattheymaybeusedinany
patient population and allow for broad comparisons across a spectrum of medical and
surgical conditions. However, they are often less responsive to changes in particular
conditionsordiseasestates.ExamplesofgenericprofilesincludetheShortForm36(SF-
36), ShortForm 6Domains (SF-6D), theEuroQOLfive dimensions questionnaire(EQ-
5D),andtheHealthUtilitiesIndex(HUI).
Fig.8.1a,b(a) A73-year-oldwomanpresentedwith sagittal and coronalplanedeformity, back pain, andneurogenic
claudication. She was unable to live independently. The patient was treated with a limited decompression and a
posterior-basedtetheringdevice.Althoughthelengthofstaywas3days,andtherewasnocomplicationorreadmission
within90days, there was also noimprovementinradiographicorpatient-centered clinical outcomes, and thepatient
remained disabled. (b)Postoperative X-rays 2 years aftera revision surgeryin which thepatient wastreated with a
three-columnosteotomyforrealignmentofthespine.Thepatientstayedinthehospitalfor6daysandherperioperative
course was complicated by a supraventriculartachycardia thatrequired cardioversion.At 2-yearfollow-up, she was
livingindependentlyandwalkingwithoutlimits.
Bothgeneralhealthstatusmeasuresandcertaindisease-specificoutcometoolsmaybe
used as indirect measures to calculate utility scores. A utility score reflects societal
preferencesforahealthstate.Differenthealthstatesareratedonacontinuousscalefrom0
to1,withthevaluereflectingameasureofwellyearsoflife.Utilityscoresderivedfrom
patient-reportedoutcome questionnairesusingvalidated instrumentsprovide information
on a patient’s health status and the value that society places on that health state.
Consideration of a utility score over time yields a quality-adjusted life year (QALY),
calculated as the utility score multiplied by the number of years that health state is
maintained.Thus,thedurabilityof anoutcomeresultsinincreasedQALYsovertime.A
QALY isan outcomemeasure that representsa standardizedunit for comparisonacross
fieldsandcanbeassignedvaluebysociety.
CommonlyUsedOutcomeMeasurements
Thefollowinginstrumentsarecommonlyusedpatient-reportedoutcomemeasurementsin
adultspinaldeformitythathavevalidatedconversionstoutilityscores/QALYs.
ShortForm36(SF-36)andShortForm6Domains(SF-6D)
The SF-36 is a widely used generichealth survey consisting of 36 questions with four
physical health scales (physical functioning, physical role limitation, bodily pain, and
generalhealth) andfourmental healthscales (vitality,socialfunctioning, emotionalrole
limitation,andmentalhealth).TheSF-6DisanabbreviatedversionoftheSF-36thathas
beenestablishedasapreference-basedhealthstateclassificationthatmaybeconvertedto
autilityscore.

EuroQOLFiveDimensionsQuestionnaire(EQ-5D)
TheEQ-5Disanothervalidatedandwidelyusedgeneralhealthquestionnairethatisused
to establish a utility score.It includes five health dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual
activities,pain/discomfort,andanxiety/depression.
ScoliosisResearchSocietyQuestionnaire
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) questionnaire measures how spinal deformity
affects a patient’s HRQOL based on five domains: pain, function, self-image, mental
health,andsatisfaction.The22-itemquestionnaire(SRS-22)isthemostwidelyusedand
validatedversion,althoughseveralotherversionsexist(SRS-24,SRS-29,SRS-30).SRS-
22 has been validated as a reliable instrument with high internal consistency,
responsiveness, reproducibility, and discriminatory capacity for patients with adult
deformity.
2,3
AmodelhasbeenestablishedfortranslatingSRS-22scorestoSF-6Dscores
todetermineutilityscores.
4,5
OswestryDisabilityIndex(ODI)
TheODImeasuresHRQOLin patientswithlow backpain.It ratesapatient’sdisability
score based on 10 measures: pain, personal care, sitting, standing, walking, lifting,
sleeping,sexlife,sociallife, andtraveling.Higherscorescorrespondtoagreaterdegree
of disability. The ODI is a validated and widely used measure that can be reliably
translatedtoautilityscore.

CostandValue
In our current health care economy, cost has become an increasingly important
considerationintheassessmentofhealthcareinterventions.Economicanalysesofhealth
careinterventionsincludecost-minimizationstudies,cost-effectivenessanalyses,andcost-
utility analyses. An assessment of costs may include direct costs, charges, and
reimbursements. Indirect costs such as loss of productivity due to time off from work,
transportationtohealthcarefacilities,andthecostofcaregiversmayalsobeincludedin
costanalysesandincorporateawiderviewoftotalcostsfromasocietalperspective.
Although cost in itself is an important consideration, the value of care provides the
mostmeaningfulassessmentofahealthcareintervention.Valueofcareencompassesboth
outcomeandcostandisdefinedasthenetbenefitofcarerelativetothenetcostofcare,or
whatwegetforwhatwespend.Themeasurementofbenefitsandcostsinspinesurgeryis
notuniform andmayvary dependingonthe perspectiveofthe stakeholderinthe health
care economy. Hospitals and other health care facilities may emphasize outcomes and
coststhataffectasingleadmissionsuchaslengthofhospitalstay,implantutilization,and
complications. Third-partypayers often focuson outcomes andcosts in amedium-term
time-frameincludingreadmissionswithin90daysorthecostofoutpatientcare.Thevalue
of a health care intervention to the physician and patient is established over a longer
timeframe than a single admission; its impact is measured based on HRQOL over a
lifetime.
Cost-utilitystudiesprovidethemostusefulinformationaboutthevalueofahealthcare
interventionbecause autilityscore isable tocapture apatient’spreference fordifferent
health states over time. An outcome measure that directly reflects HRQOL and is
translatable across disease states, such as QALYs, is an important prerequisite for
estimating the value of orthopedic care. The length of follow-up is also an important
consideration when measuring value, as the cost of a single episode of care will be
significantlydiscountedbythedurationofthebenefit.
