The Social Deprivation Index and lumbar spine surgery outcomes
Patients from high-SDI areas had similar pain and physical function outcomes compared to patients from low-SDI areas after lumbar spine surgery. High SDI was significantly associated with length of stay. This study highlights the need for interventions that address the unique needs of patients from low-resource settings to improve lumbar spine surgery outcomes.
