(2) Elimination of intranasal testing and Staphylococcus aureus treatment in a pediatric spinal fusion cohort results in cost savings and reduces an unpleasant experience for the patient. (3) Increased surgical time during posterior spinal fusion in a pediatric cohort of patient did not lead to an increased rate of surgical site infection (SSI). (4) Across the cohort of pediatric patient undergoing posterior spinal fusion (PSF), the rate of infection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients was 1.3% compared with 8.2% infection rate in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS). …”
