This common need for additional surgery can increase the overall cost of care for ASD. RVU is used to calculate reimbursement from Medicare and to determine physician payments nationally. In calculating RVUs, the physician\u2019s work, the expenses of the physician\u2019s practice, and professional liability insurance. Cost effectiveness of surgeries for ASD have been evaluated, except for RVUs per minute compared between primary and revision surgery.Methods: Data were obtained from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database. Patients aged \u226518 years who underwent surgery for spinal deformity between 2011 and 2019 were identified and included. To ensure a homogenous patient cohort, those who underwent anterior-only and concurrent anterior-posterior fusions were excluded. Propensity score matching analysis was performed, and Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson chi-square test, or Fisher\u2019s exact test were used to compare matched cohorts as appropriate.Results: A total of 326 patients who underwent revision surgery were matched with 206 primary surgery patients via propensity score matching. Demographic characteristics, comorbidities, preoperative laboratory values, and readmission and reoperation rates were not significantly different between groups. The revision surgery group had significantly higher mean RVUs per minute than that of the primary surgery group (0.331 vs. 0.249, p &lt;0.001), as well as rates of morbidity and blood transfusion.Conclusions: Compared to primary surgery, revision surgery for ASD is associated with significantly higher RVUs per minute and total RVUs and higher rates of 30-day morbidity and blood transfusions. Readmission and reoperation rates are similar between surgeries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31616\/asj.2022.0186","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,15]],"date-time":"2023-05-15T01:10:11Z","timestamp":1684113011000},"page":"485-491","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.31616\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparison
