Identifying Key Factors Influencing Hospital Stay After Spine Surgery: A Comprehensive Predictive Model.

ABSTRACT: Study DesignRetrospective Cohort Study.ObjectivesTo develop and validate a multivariable predictive model for length of hospital stay (LOS) following spine surgery, incorporating sociodemographic characteristics, medical data, and self-reported patient outcomes.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 4583 patients from a spine surgery registry was conduct-ed. Predictors included age, sex, BMI, ASA score, surgical complexity, and patient-reported outcomes. Binary logistic regression was used to model LOS (<3 days vs ≥3 days).ResultsLower age, active work status, lower ASA scores, and specific surgical procedures were associated with shorter LOS. The model demonstrated good accuracy and dis-criminative ability.ConclusionsSociodemographic, medical, and patient-reported outcomes are valuable predic
