Introduction
• Scoliosis is common in children with non-ambulatory cerebral palsy (CP)– Affects upwards of 100% of patients(Saito
et al. Lancet. 1998)
• Traditionally, there has been controversary as to the preferred treatment approach to in non-ambulatory CP
• A recent critical review analysis identified improved patient outcomes and caregiver satisfaction with operative intervention – Shaw et al. JBJS Reviews. 2019

Accelerated Discharge Pathway
• Accelerated discharge (AD) pathways are multidisciplinary approaches targeted to improve perioperative care and safely expedite patient discharge to home
• AD have been shown to decrease hospital length of stay in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis without increasing postoperative complications compared with more traditional (TD) approaches (Fletcher et al. J Pediatri Orthop 2015)

Accelerated Discharge Pathway
• Bellaire et al. demonstrated significantly shorter hospital length of stay, with a trend toward lower complication rates with AD for non-ambulatory CP patients undergoing PSF– Spine Deform. 2019;7(5):804-11.
• Although this evidence supports the utility of AD pathways over a TD pathways for some patients, the impact of these pathways on the cost-utility of treatment has not been investigated.

Methods
• Decision-analysis model was constructed using TreeAge Pro
• Hypothetical Patient: 15-year-old male with non-ambulatory CP and 65-degree thoracolumbar scoliosis with associated pelvic obliquity
• Treatment: Posterior spinal fusion from T2-pelvis with pedicle screw fixation.

Data Variable
• Literature review was performed to identify associated complication profiles for TD and AD pathways in the setting of non-ambulatory CP scoliosis and to estimate probability, health utility, and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs)
• Complication Profiles Idenitified:– Death– Neurologic injury– Pulmonary complication– Infection– Revision Surgery

Analysis
• Health utility and QALYs were constructed using age-matched values for US population average, applying a corrective value for diagnosis of CP. Craig et al. Matern Child Life. 2016;20(4)
• A sensitivity analysis was performed using Mixed first-order and second-order Monte Carlo simulations. Incremental cost utility ratio (ICUR) and incremental net monetary benefit (NMB) were calculated.

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Results
• Operative treatment, combining AD and TD, resulted in a NMB of $629,783 with cost utility ratio of $4426.70/life years.
• AD pathway resulted in a net cost of $57,353 compared to a net cost of $65,001 for the TD pathway.
• AD resulted in a 29% greater NMB with a cost utility ratio of $3,734.58/life year compared with the TD cost utility ratio of $5,292.81/life year. Both figures falling below the societal willingness-to-pay threshold of $50,000/life year.

Conclusion
• An AD pathway following PSF for non-ambulatory cerebral palsy may provide a 29% greater NMB with a favored cost utility ratio when compared with a TD pathway
• Future studies should aim to identify pre-operative and post-operative variables that increase safety and decrease cost of treating these patients.
