متن کاملScoliosis Surgery in Children With Neuromuscular Disease
Main Outcome Measures: Demographics, hospital length of stay, and in-hospital mortality associated with scoliosis surgery. Results: Of 17 780 reported hospitalizations owing to scoliosis surgery, 437 children (2.5%) had NMD. Compared with children undergoing scoliosis surgery for other indications, children with NMD were more likely to be younger (12.4 vs 14.2 years), male (73.5% vs 38.3%), and...
