Health economic analysis of adult deformity surgery

Ian McCarthy et al. Neurosurg Clin N Am. 2013 Apr.

Abstract

Given the substantial growth in frequency and expense of spine deformity surgery, and the general economic landscape of the health care system, health economics research has an important role in the literature on adult spinal deformity (ASD). The purpose of this article is to provide an update on the current state of health economics studies in the ASD literature and to introduce areas in which health economics might play some additional role in future research on ASD.
