Abstract

BACKGROUND: Preoperative prognostication of adverse events (AEs) for patients undergoing surgery for lumbar degenerative spondylolisthesis (LDS) can improve risk stratification and help guide the surgical decision-making process. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a set of predictive variables for 30-day AEs after surgery for LDS.
