As a result, surgical intervention for deformity correction can help improve quality of life. Unplanned readmissions after surgery can significantly impact patients and the value of care. The aim of this study was to assess the trends in short-term and delayed unplanned readmissions following treatment for ASD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective cohort study was performed using the 2016\u20132019 Nationwide Readmissions Database.

Patients were stratified into 7-day readmission (7-R), 30-day readmission (30-R), 90-day readmission (90-R), and no readmission (NonR) cohorts. Patient demographics, comorbidities, adverse events (AEs), and clinical outcomes were assessed.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 3628 ASD patients identified, 550 (15.2%) experienced unplanned readmission (7-R: 131 [3.6%], 30-R: 252 [6.9%], 90-R: 167 [4.6%], NonR: 3078 [84.8%]). Patients in the readmission cohorts had higher rates of Medicare coverage, while the NonR cohort had the highest proportion of private insurance (p = 0.004). The 30-R cohort had the highest frailty score, followed by the 90-R, 7-R, and NonR cohorts (p &lt; 0.001), respectively. The 7-R and 30-R cohorts had the highest prevalence of hypertension (p = 0.002), complicated diabetes (p = 0.002), and chronic pulmonary disease (p = 0.011). In addition, the 7-R and 30-R cohorts had a higher frequency of three or more comorbidities (p = 0.002) and two or more AEs (p &lt; 0.001). On initial admission, the 7-R cohort had the longest mean length of stay (LOS) (p &lt; 0.001), while the 30-R cohort had the greatest rate of nonroutine discharge (p &lt; 0.001) and the highest mean cost of index admission (p = 0.039). On readmission, the 7-R cohort experienced the longest mean LOS (p &lt; 0.001) and highest rate of nonroutine discharge (p = 0.025), with no significant differences in costs between cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our study suggests that increased comorbidities, AEs, LOS, nonroutine discharge, and hospital expenditures are associated with short-term (7 and 30 days) unplanned readmissions following PSF for ASD patients.
