Purpose: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) affects physical and psychosocial health, with treatments including surgery, bracing, and observation. However, the long-term effects on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are still uncertain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term HRQoL outcomes in untreated AIS patients compared to those undergoing surgical or brace interventions through systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, Scopus, WoS, and Medline). Study quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS) tool, and evidence certainty was evaluated using the GRADE system. The primary outcomes of the meta-analysis were measured using SRS-22r and SF-12 scales for the assessment of HRQoL, evaluating domains including function, mental health, pain, self-image, and satisfaction after a minimum ten-year follow-up period.
Results: Eight studies published between 2010 and 2023 that assessed HRQoL after a follow-up period of ten years or more were included in the systematic review. Six studies were included in the meta-analysis. The observation group showed better outcomes in functional (MD 0.43, 95% CI 0.01-0.84) and mental health domains (MD 0.12, 95% CI 0.03-0.20) compared to the surgical group. No significant differences were found in pain, self-image, and satisfaction domains. Comparison between observation and brace groups showed equivalence across all domains. Evidence certainty ranged from moderate to low.
Conclusion: Long-term HRQoL in AIS shows no clear benefit of surgery or bracing over observation, which may offer equal or better mental and functional outcomes. This supports personalized care. Further high-quality research is needed to strengthen the evidence base.
目的:青少年特发性脊柱侧凸(AIS)影响身体和心理健康,治疗方法包括手术、支具和观察。然而,对健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)的长期影响仍不确定。本研究的目的是通过系统回顾和荟萃分析来评估未经治疗的AIS患者与接受手术或支架干预的患者的长期HRQoL结果。方法:系统检索多个数据库(PubMed、Scopus、WoS和Medline)。采用非随机研究方法学指数(methodology Index for non -random Studies,简称minor)工具评估研究质量,采用GRADE系统评估证据确定性。meta分析的主要结果是在至少10年的随访期后,使用rs -22r和SF-12量表来评估HRQoL,评估领域包括功能、心理健康、疼痛、自我形象和满意度。结果:2010年至2023年间发表的8项研究在随访10年或更长时间后评估了HRQoL。meta分析纳入了6项研究。观察组在功能(MD = 0.43, 95% CI = 0.01-0.84)和心理健康(MD = 0.12, 95% CI = 0.03-0.20)方面均优于手术组。在疼痛、自我形象和满意度方面没有发现显著差异。观察组与支撑组之间的比较显示所有领域均相等。证据确定性从中等到低不等。结论:AIS患者的长期HRQoL与观察相比,手术或支具没有明显的优势,可能提供相同或更好的精神和功能结果。这支持个性化护理。需要进一步的高质量研究来加强证据基础。
