Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Post-operative length of hospital stay (LOS) is a valuable measure for monitoring quality of care provision, patient recovery, and guiding hospital resource management. But the impact of patient ethnicity, socio-economic deprivation as measured by the indices of multiple deprivation (IMD), and pre-existing health conditions on LOS post-anterior cervical decompression and fusion (ACDF) is under-researched in public healthcare settings.
