The Effect of Community-Level Socioeconomic Status on Surgical Outcomes Following Revision Lumbar Fusion
While there are socioeconomic differences based on DCI, community-level SES was not predictive of worse surgical outcomes following revision lumbar fusion. Patients from the most distressed communities were able to achieve similar improvement after revision surgery. This should encourage spine surgeons to feel comfortable discussing an indicated revision lumbar procedure with patients, and not view SES as a barrier to successful outcomes.
