Cost analysis for patients with adult spinal deformity by surgical approach and technique: A systematic review of the literature
Complex ASD procedures observed higher index and two-year costs than TLIF or PO approaches, with cost-per-QALY ratios showing no clear benefit for higher-cost techniques. These findings are limited by heterogenous cost definitions and sparse utility data, warranting cautious interpretation and underscore the need for prospective, standardized cost-effectiveness studies with extended follow-up.
