Abstract
The aim of this case-control study was to develop a RSS to predict SSI in patients with EOS undergoing repetitive lengthening utilizing traditional growth instrumentation. 171 patients with an average age of 4.7 years at surgery were enrolled. The SSI rate was 22.8%. Syndromic etiology, pulmonary comorbidity, major curve magnitude >90, non-ambulatory status, high BMI, and pelvic instrumentation were prognostic of SSI. The models predictive ability was 74.0%, indicating this model’s utility in evidence-based guidance regarding surgical risks.
