  1. Crude model: we did not adjust other covariants
  2. Minimally adjusted model: we adjusted CCI and ASA score
  3. Fully adjusted model: we adjusted CCI, ASA, frailty, TK, LL, PT, PI, SVA, TPA, number of fused levels, surgical approach, operative time, EBL, intraoperative blood loss, reoperation and major complication
  4. CCI: Charlson comorbidity index; ASA: American Society of Anaesthesiologists; TK: thoracic kyphosis; LL: lumbar lordosis; PT: pelvic tilt; PI: pelvic incidence; SVA: sagittal vertical axis; TPA: T1 pelvic angle; EBL: estimated blood loss
