Disparities in spinal deformity surgery care for children with cerebral palsy and neuromuscular scoliosis
Health disparities were identified related to ethnicity, race, preferred language, and geographical distance from the hospital for children with CP and neuromuscular scoliosis. These findings highlight the need for development of standardized criteria for surveillance, imaging, and referral to reduce health disparities for this specific population.
