Retrospective single-center, consecutively enrolled database of adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. ⋯ Higher preoperative mASD-FI score was associated with significantly greater complications, higher rate of unplanned reoperations and lower postoperative HRQL in this investigation. The mASD-FI provides similar prognostic utility while reducing burden for surgeons and patients.

The influence of frailty on economic burden following corrective surgery for the adult cervical deformity (CD) is understudied and may provide valuable insights for preoperative planning. ⋯ III.

A retrospective review study. ⋯ Osteoporosis is a significant risk factor for instrumentation failure and need for revision surgery following arthrodesis for scoliosis correction. Furthermore, patients with osteoporosis have a significantly higher risk of intraoperative blood volume loss and postoperative thromboembolic events.
