Popis: AIM To assess how co-occurring conditions influence recovery after hip reconstruction surgery in children with neurological complex chronic conditions (CCCs). METHOD This was a retrospective analysis of 4058 children age 4 years or older with neurological CCCs who underwent hip reconstructive surgery between 1st January 2015 and 31st December 2018 in 49 children's hospitals. The presence of co-occurring chronic conditions was assessed using the Agency for Healthcare Research Chronic Condition Indicator system. Multivariable, hierarchical regression was used to assess the relationship between co-existing conditions and postoperative hospital length of stay (LOS), cost, and 30-day readmission rate. RESULTS The most common co-occurring conditions were digestive (60.1%) and respiratory (37.9%). As the number of co-existing conditions increased from one to four or more, median LOS increased 67% (3d [interquartile range {IQR} 2-4d] to 5d [IQR 3-8d]); median hospital cost increased 41% ($20 248 [IQR $14 921-$27 842] to $28 692 [IQR $19 236-$45 887]); and readmission rates increased 250% (5.5-13.9%), p
