Risk factors for 90-day readmission and prolonged length of stay after hip surgery in children with cerebral palsy.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Spastic hip dysplasia is a common complication of cerebral palsy in children, and surgical intervention is usually warranted. While current literature has primarily analyzed single institution outcomes, this study utilized a national database to describe readmission rates and factors correlated with readmission for children with cerebral palsy undergoing hip surgery in order to treat this population more effectively.

Methods

This study queried the Nationwide Readmissions Database (2014-2018) for pediatric patients with cerebral palsy who underwent hip surgery. Patient demographics, pre-operative comorbidities, length of stay (LOS), treatment complications, and readmission data were collected for each patient and analyzed with inferential statistics.
