Retrospective cohort To examine Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCMI) as a marker for deterioration in health status not reflected in standard Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) measures. HRQOLs have become a primary metric for assessing outcomes following spinal deformity surgery. However, studies have reported limited impact of complications on postoperative HRQOLs. We examined serial CCMI, complications and HRQOLs for 138 adult lumbar deformity patients treated surgically with a minimum two-year follow-up that included 126 females (91%) with a mean age of 59.8 years (range, 40.2–78.5). Patients with No, Minor or Major complications were compared at baseline and at one- and two-years post-op. Minor complications were observed in 26 patients (19%) and major complications in 15 (11%). Major complications included motor deficit (7), DVT (4) and respiratory failure (3). There was no difference in pre-op SF-36 PCS or SRS scores among the groups at baseline. Pre-op CCMI was lowest in the No complication group (3.52±1.70) followed by the Major (4.00±1.13) and Minor complication groups (4.15±1.71, p=0.165). At one-year, there was a significantly greater CCMI deterioration in the Major complication group (0.80±1.01) compared to both the Minor (0.08±0.27) and No complication groups (0.27±0.47, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in SF-36 PCS or SRS scores among the three groups. Similar findings were observed at two-years. Despite similar one and two-year HRQOL improvement, patients with major complications had greater deterioration in CCMI. As CCMI is predictive of medical and surgical risk, patients who sustained a major complication now carry a greater likelihood of adverse outcomes with future interventions including any subsequent spinal surgery. While this increased risk may not alter the patient’s perception of their current health status, it may be important, and should be recognized as part of the shared decision-making process.
