Background

With an aging population, degenerative spinal diseases are contributing significantly to the healthcare's burden. Spinal alignment in the context of adult spinal deformities has become an important domain of research.

Methods

We conducted a narrative review of the latest considerations in spinal alignment within the context of degenerative spinal conditions, discussed current strategies for morphological assessment and finally identified potential areas for future research.

Results

This review reported that degenerative spinal conditions lead to a complex disruption of spinal alignment. It also highlighted the importance of spino-pelvic alignment with specific attention to compensatory mechanisms that occur in response to spinal deformities. Emerging technologies including Artificial Intelligence and epigenetics are showing promises in terms of patient care.

Conclusions

Understanding spinal alignment in degenerative conditions underscores the importance of dynamic and individualized assessments. Future research should integrate emerging technologies along with traditional clinical practices in order to optimize patient outcomes and minimize complications for patients suffering from degenerative spinal diseases.
背景随着人口老龄化的加剧,脊柱退行性疾病正在极大地加重医疗负担。方法我们对脊柱退行性病变背景下脊柱排列的最新考虑进行了叙述性综述,讨论了当前的形态学评估策略,最后确定了未来研究的潜在领域。综述还强调了脊柱骨盆对齐的重要性,并特别关注了脊柱畸形的代偿机制。包括人工智能和表观遗传学在内的新兴技术在患者护理方面大有可为。未来的研究应将新兴技术与传统临床实践相结合,以优化脊柱退行性疾病患者的治疗效果,最大限度地减少并发症。

Background

The 6-minute walking test (6WT) has previously shown to be reliable and valid outcome measure in patients undergoing surgery for degenerative lumbar disorders (DLD). A role of 6WT in conservatively treated patients undergoing epidural steroid injection (ESI) remains unclear.

Methods

About 50 patients with DLD, scheduled for ESI were assessed by the smartphone-based 6WT and common paper-based patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including the Core Outcome Measures Index [COMI] back, Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Short Form Survey (SF-12). Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) was used to define the relationship between 6WT and PROMs. Reliability of the 6WT was determined by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Age- and sex-adjusted objective functional impairment (OFI) z-scores were calculated for each patient.

Results

A total of 50 patients (mean age 52 years, SD 13; 25% female), including 35 patients (70%) with lumbar disc herniation and 15 patients (30%) with lumbar spinal stenosis were included. The mean 6-minute walking distance (6WD) was 454.1 m (SD 89.1); the age- and sex-adjusted mean OFI z-score was −2.1 (SD 4.0). A total of 17 (34%) patients had mild, 8 (16%) moderate, and 4 (8%) severe OFI, while 21 (42%) had 6WT results within the normal population range (no OFI). The PCCs between the 6WD and VAS back pain were r=−0.30, ODI r=−0.43, COMI back r=−0.36, and PCS-12 r=0.51 (all p<.05). The ICC of the 6WT was β=0.92.

Conclusions

This external validation in a patient cohort with DLD, which was managed conservatively, confirms the reliability and content validity of the 6WT with similar PCCs with PROMs compared to the original surgical cohort. The results confirm the 6WT as a valid and useful tool for assessing OFI in patients with DLD and a broad range of functional restrictions in an outpatient setting.
背景6分钟步行测试(6WT)曾被证明是对接受腰椎退行性疾病(DLD)手术的患者进行可靠有效的结果测量。方法对约50名计划接受硬膜外类固醇注射(ESI)的DLD患者进行评估,评估方法包括基于智能手机的6分钟步行测试和常见的纸质患者报告结局测量(PROMs),包括核心结局测量指数[COMI]背部、Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)和简表调查(SF-12)。皮尔逊相关系数(PCC)用于确定 6WT 与 PROMs 之间的关系。通过类内相关系数(ICC)确定了 6WT 的可靠性。结果 共纳入了 50 名患者(平均年龄 52 岁,SD 13;女性占 25%),包括 35 名腰椎间盘突出症患者(70%)和 15 名腰椎管狭窄症患者(30%)。6分钟步行距离(6WD)的平均值为454.1米(标清89.1);经年龄和性别调整后的OFI z分数平均值为-2.1(标清4.0)。共有 17 名(34%)患者有轻度 OFI,8 名(16%)患者有中度 OFI,4 名(8%)患者有重度 OFI,而 21 名(42%)患者的 6WT 结果在正常人群范围内(无 OFI)。6WD 和 VAS 背痛之间的 PCC 分别为 r=-0.30、ODI r=-0.43、COMI back r=-0.36、PCS-12 r=0.51(均为 p<.05)。结论这项在保守治疗的 DLD 患者队列中进行的外部验证证实了 6WT 的可靠性和内容有效性,与原始手术队列相比,6WT 具有相似的 PCC 和 PROM。结果证实,6WT 是在门诊环境中评估 DLD 患者 OFI 和各种功能限制的有效和实用工具。

Background

Patient specific (PS) technology has become popular in the field of spine surgery, as it gives surgeons control over the manufacturing of implants based on a patient's anatomy. Patient specific surgical guides, preoperative planning software, and patient specific implants – such as rods and cages, have demonstrated promising results in the literature for helping surgeons achieve spinal alignment goals.

Methods

A review of the literature regarding PS technology in spine surgery for the correction of spinal deformity was performed and is compiled here.

Results

A description of the PS tools currently used for deformity correction and treatment of degenerative spine pathology with example cases are included in this manuscript.

Conclusions

The use of PS technology in spine surgery is an important development in the field that should continue to be studied.
背景特定患者(PS)技术已在脊柱外科领域流行起来,因为它能让外科医生根据患者的解剖结构控制植入物的制造。患者专用手术指南、术前规划软件和患者专用植入物(如杆和笼)在帮助外科医生实现脊柱对齐目标方面取得了可喜的成果。方法对脊柱手术中用于矫正脊柱畸形的患者专用技术的相关文献进行了综述,并在此汇编。结论在脊柱手术中使用 PS 技术是该领域的一项重要发展,应继续加以研究。

Background

Little is known about the incidence, management or long-term outcomes of traumatic cauda equina syndrome (CES), with few cohort studies. The purpose of this study is to establish the incidence and long-term outcomes of traumatic CES in Victoria, Australia. This study is a registry-based cohort study, and people with a diagnosis of traumatic CES from 2010 to 2022 were recruited from the Victorian State Trauma Registry.

Methods

An incidence rate was calculated by dividing the amount of new cases each year by the estimated population in Victoria. Demographic, injury and hospital admission details were extracted from the Victorian State Trauma Registry. Routine follow-up occurred at 6, 12- and 24- months postinjury, with a focus on health-related quality of life outcomes using the EuroQol EQ-5D scale, level of disability using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) score and return to work outcomes. An additional telephone interview undertaken at a median 6.8 years postinjury collected the EQ-5D, bowel and bladder outcomes. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse data. Mixed effects regression modelling was used to model change in EQ-5D outcomes over time.

Results

Of the 94 participants, most were men (67%), the median age at injury was 41 years, and the most common cause was road trauma (35%). The incidence rate ranged from 0.56 to 2.51 per million per year. Most people reported problems on the EQ-5D at all 4 follow-up time points, with no clear improvement over time. 47% of people had not returned to work 24 months after injury. Of the survivors who completed the additional follow-up, 41% of people experienced constipation and 51% reported almost losing bladder continence at least once per week.

Conclusions

While the incidence rate of traumatic CES was low, most people experienced long-term sequelae, highlighting the impact of this injury on peoples’ lives. Multijurisdictional studies may be needed to comprehensively measure the impacts of this injury.
背景人们对外伤性马尾综合征(CES)的发病率、管理或长期疗效知之甚少,队列研究更是寥寥无几。本研究旨在确定澳大利亚维多利亚州外伤性马尾综合征的发病率和长期预后。本研究是一项以登记为基础的队列研究,从维多利亚州创伤登记处招募了2010年至2022年期间诊断为创伤性马尾综合征的患者。从维多利亚州创伤登记处提取了人口统计学、受伤和入院详情。在伤后6个月、12个月和24个月进行常规随访,重点关注使用EuroQol EQ-5D量表得出的与健康相关的生活质量结果、使用世界卫生组织残疾评估表(WHODAS)得出的残疾程度以及重返工作岗位的结果。在受伤后中位数 6.8 年时进行的额外电话访谈收集了 EQ-5D、肠道和膀胱方面的结果。描述性统计用于分析数据。结果 在 94 名参与者中,大多数为男性(67%),受伤时的中位年龄为 41 岁,最常见的原因是道路创伤(35%)。发病率从每年每百万人中 0.56 例到 2.51 例不等。大多数人在所有 4 个随访时间点都报告了 EQ-5D 方面的问题,随着时间的推移没有明显改善。47%的人在受伤 24 个月后仍未重返工作岗位。在完成额外随访的幸存者中,41%的人有便秘症状,51%的人称每周至少有一次膀胱几乎失禁。结论虽然外伤性CES的发病率较低,但大多数人都有长期后遗症,这凸显了这种损伤对人们生活的影响。要全面衡量这种损伤的影响,可能需要进行多辖区研究。

Background

Mind-body treatments have the potential to manage pain, yet their effectiveness when delivered online for the treatment of low back pain (LBP) is unknown. We sought to evaluate whether a virtually delivered mind-body program integrating tai chi, qigong, and meditation (VDTQM) is effective for treating LBP.

Methods

This randomized controlled trial compared VDTQM (n=175) to waitlist control (n=175). Eligible participants were at least 18 years old, had LBP for at least 6 weeks, were not pregnant, had not previously taken tai chi classes, and had not undergone spine surgery within 6 months. The treatment group received a 12-week VDTQM program in live online 60-minute twice-weekly group classes from September 2022 to December 2022. All participants continued their usual activities and care. Primary outcome was pain-related disability assessed by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) score. Secondary outcomes included pain intensity, sleep quality, and quality of life (QOL). Intent-to-treat analyses were conducted.

Results

Of the 350 participants 278 (79%) were female, mean age was 58.8 years (range: 21–92), 244 (69.7%) completed the 8-week survey, 248 (70.9%) the 12-week, and 238 (68%) the 16 -week. No participants withdrew due to adverse treatment effects. Compared with control group, treatment group experienced statistically and clinically significant improvement in ODI score by −4.7 (95% CI: −6.24 to −3.16, p<.01), −6.42 (95% CI: −7.96 to −4.88, p<.01), and −8.14 (95% CI: −9.68 to −6.59, p<.01) points at weeks 8, 12, and 16, respectively. Treatment group also experienced statistically significant improvement at all time points in the other outcomes.

Conclusions

Among adults with LBP, VDTQM treatment resulted in small to moderate improvements in pain-related disability, pain intensity, sleep quality, and QOL. Improvements persisted 1 month after treatment concluded. These findings suggest VDTQM may be a viable treatment option for patients with LBP.

Background

Scoliosis is defined as a lateral spine curvature of at least 10° with vertebral rotation, as seen on a posterior-anterior radiograph, often accompanied by reduced thoracic kyphosis. Scoliosis affects all age groups: idiopathic scoliosis is the most common spinal disorder in children and adolescents, while adult degenerative scoliosis typically affects individuals over fifty. In the United States, approximately 3 million new cases of scoliosis are diagnosed annually, with a predicted increase in part due to global aging. Despite its prevalence, the etiopathogenesis of scoliosis remains unclear.

Methods

This comprehensive review analyzes the literature on the etiopathogenetic evidence for both idiopathic and adult degenerative scoliosis. PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies on the genetic factors and etiopathogenetic mechanisms of scoliosis development and progression, with the search limited to articles in English.

Results

For idiopathic scoliosis, genetic factors are categorized into three groups: genes associated with susceptibility, disease progression, and both. We identify gene groups related to different biological processes and explore multifaceted pathogenesis of idiopathic scoliosis, including evolutionary adaptations to bipedalism and developmental and homeostatic spinal aberrations. For adult degenerative scoliosis, we segregate genetic and pathogenic evidence into categories of angiogenesis and inflammation, extracellular matrix degradation, neural associations, and hormonal influences. Finally, we compare findings in idiopathic scoliosis and adult degenerative scoliosis, discuss current limitations in scoliosis research, propose a new model for scoliosis etiopathogenesis, and highlight promising areas for future studies.

Conclusions

Scoliosis is a complex, multifaceted disease with largely enigmatic origins and mechanisms of progression, keeping it under continuous scientific scrutiny.
背景脊柱侧弯是指脊柱侧弯至少10°并伴有椎体旋转,如前后位X光片所示,通常伴有胸椎后凸减少。脊柱侧弯症影响所有年龄段的人:特发性脊柱侧弯症是儿童和青少年最常见的脊柱疾病,而成人退行性脊柱侧弯症通常影响 50 岁以上的人。在美国,每年新诊断出的脊柱侧弯病例约有 300 万例,预计这一数字还会增加,部分原因是全球老龄化。本综述分析了特发性和成人退行性脊柱侧凸的病因学证据。结果对于特发性脊柱侧凸,遗传因素被分为三类:与易感性相关的基因、与疾病进展相关的基因以及与两者都相关的基因。我们确定了与不同生物过程相关的基因组,并探讨了特发性脊柱侧凸的多方面发病机制,包括进化过程中对两足行走的适应以及脊柱的发育和同源性畸变。对于成人退行性脊柱侧凸,我们将遗传和致病证据分为血管生成和炎症、细胞外基质降解、神经关联和激素影响等类别。最后,我们比较了特发性脊柱侧弯症和成人退行性脊柱侧弯症的研究结果,讨论了脊柱侧弯症研究目前存在的局限性,提出了脊柱侧弯症病因发病机制的新模型,并强调了未来有望开展研究的领域。

Objective

Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) after durotomy in elective spine surgery, though rare, can pose a significant risk to patient outcomes. Spine surgeries bear a risk of dural tears (DT) with potential of postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage (PCSFL). Excessive PCSFL can precipitate a decrease in intracranial pressure, potentially leading to ICH. Literature on ICH as a postoperative complication is scarce. The aim was to assess the incidence and risk factors of ICH in patients undergoing elective spine surgery.

Methods

Utilizing the 2020 National Impatient Sample (NIS) adults (>18 years) were selected by primary procedure category codes for spine fusion, discectomy, spinal cord decompression and cervicothoracic/lumbosacral nerve decompression. Exclusion criteria were trauma and malignancy. The primary outcome was occurrence of ICH. Comparative analysis and a multivariable logistic regression were used to identify independent risk.

Results

In total, 40,990 patients met our criteria with an incidence of ICH at 0.08%. The ICH-group showed an increased length of stay and higher mortality compared to the control group. Spinal cord decompression, DT and PCSFL were significantly more frequent in patients with ICH. Alcohol, drug abuse and hypertension were significantly more prevalent in patients with ICH. DT, alcohol abuse and hypertension were independent risk factors for ICH.

Conclusions

This study underscores the rarity and severity of ICHs following elective spine surgery, emphasizing awareness and looking for possible preventive measures. Our finding suggests that DT, as a complication of surgical techniques, as well as alcohol abuse and hypertension are significant predictors of ICH.
目的在脊柱择期手术中进行硬脑膜切开术后发生颅内出血(ICH)的情况虽然罕见,但会对患者的预后构成重大风险。脊柱手术有硬脑膜撕裂(DT)的风险,术后可能出现脑脊液漏(PCSFL)。过多的 PCSFL 会导致颅内压下降,从而引发 ICH。有关术后并发症 ICH 的文献很少。方法利用 2020 年全国住院患者样本(NIS),根据脊柱融合术、椎间盘切除术、脊髓减压术和颈胸腰骶部神经减压术的主要手术类别代码筛选出成人(18 岁)。排除标准为外伤和恶性肿瘤。主要结果是发生 ICH。结果共有 40,990 名患者符合我们的标准,ICH 发生率为 0.08%。与对照组相比,ICH组患者的住院时间延长,死亡率升高。在 ICH 患者中,脊髓减压、DT 和 PCSFL 的发生率明显更高。酗酒、滥用药物和高血压在 ICH 患者中的发病率明显更高。结论本研究强调了脊柱择期手术后发生 ICH 的罕见性和严重性,强调要提高认识并寻找可能的预防措施。我们的研究结果表明,作为手术技术并发症的 DT 以及酗酒和高血压是导致 ICH 的重要预测因素。

Background

Thromboembolic complications in anterior lumbar spinal surgery can rarely result in limb loss. Iliac vessel retraction can temporarily occlude the iliac artery risking thromboembolic sequelae. Studies estimate the incidence of iliac artery thrombosis at 0.45%. Brief intraoperative heparinization can potentially mitigate this risk. We aim to quantify the incidence of temporary iliac artery occlusion (TIAO) and examine its association with potential risk factors (sex, BMI, target disc level, and type of prosthesis).

Methods

Retrospective analysis of consecutive patients undergoing anterior lumbar spinal surgery by a single vascular surgeon and 5 spinal neurosurgeons between 2009 and 2022. Patients underwent single or double-level total disc replacement (TDR); single, double, or triple-level anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF); or hybrid procedure (combined cranial TDR and caudal ALIF). A pulse oximeter monitored bilateral second toes perfusion. Loss of the waveform, combined with a nonpalpable external iliac artery pulse distal to the retractors was defined as TIAO of the ipsilateral artery. Heparin was administered if TIAO developed.

Results

Of 605 patients (318 males, 287 females), TIAO occurred in 176 patients (29.1%). TIAO occurred in 13.5% of the 377 patients who underwent single or multilevel ALIF and in 42.7% of the 110 patients who underwent single or multilevel TDR (p=.004). In single-level surgery at L5/S1, TIAO occurred in 3.1% of patients. In single-level surgery at L4/5, TIAO occurred in 65.2% of patients overall; the rate was higher for TDR than for ALIF (74.6% vs. 48.5%; p=.01). The TIAO rate was 44.3% in multilevel procedures and 66.1% in hybrid procedures. No patient developed postoperative thrombotic iliac artery occlusion or embolic complications.

Conclusions

TIAO occurred frequently during anterior lumbar exposure (29%). Anterior spinal exposure at L4/5 had a high incidence of TIAO, particularly for TDR, in contrast to L5/S1.
背景腰椎前路手术中的血栓栓塞并发症很少会导致肢体缺失。髂血管牵拉可暂时闭塞髂动脉,从而有可能导致血栓栓塞后遗症。研究估计髂动脉血栓形成的发生率为 0.45%。术中短暂肝素化可降低这一风险。我们旨在量化暂时性髂动脉闭塞(TIAO)的发生率,并研究其与潜在风险因素(性别、体重指数、目标椎间盘水平和假体类型)之间的关联。患者接受了单层或双层全椎间盘置换术(TDR);单层、双层或三层前路腰椎椎间融合术(ALIF);或混合手术(头颅TDR和尾椎ALIF联合手术)。脉搏血氧仪监测双侧第二脚趾灌注情况。如果波形消失,同时牵开器远端髂外动脉脉搏无法触及,则定义为同侧动脉TIAO。结果 在 605 名患者(318 名男性,287 名女性)中,176 名患者(29.1%)发生了 TIAO。在接受单层或多层 ALIF 的 377 例患者中,13.5% 的患者发生了 TIAO;在接受单层或多层 TDR 的 110 例患者中,42.7% 的患者发生了 TIAO(P=.004)。在L5/S1单水平手术中,3.1%的患者发生了TIAO。在L4/5单水平手术中,65.2%的患者发生了TIAO;TDR的发生率高于ALIF(74.6%对48.5%;P=.01)。多层次手术的TIAO发生率为44.3%,混合手术为66.1%。没有患者出现术后血栓性髂动脉闭塞或栓塞并发症。与L5/S1相比,L4/5的脊柱前路暴露TIAO发生率较高,尤其是TDR。

Background

Flatback deformity, or lumbar hypolordosis, can cause sagittal imbalance, causing back pain, fatigue, and functional limitation. Surgical correction through osteotomies and interbody fusion techniques can restore sagittal balance and relieve pain. This study investigated sagittal vertical alignment (SVA) and lumbar lordosis correction achieved through sequential procedures on human spine specimens.

Methods

Human T10-sacrum specimens were stratified into 2 groups: degenerative flatback specimens had smaller L1-S1 lordosis compared to the iatrogenic group (26.1°±15.0° vs. 47.8°±19.3°, p<.05). Specimens were mounted in the apparatus in simulated standing posture with a nominal sacral slope of 45 degrees and subjected to a 400N compressive follower preload. Sequential correction of degenerative lumbar flatback deformity involved: anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) at L5-S1, ALIF at L4-5, lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) at L2-3 and L3-4, and posterior column osteotomy (PCO) at L2-3 and L3-4. In iatrogenic specimens, flatback deformity was created by performing a posterior in-situ immobilization using pedicle screw instrumentation at L4-L5-S1 followed by distraction across the pedicle screws. We then performed LLIF at L2-3 and L3-4, followed by PCO at L2-3 and L3-4.

Results

Statistically significant incremental corrections were noted in SVAs and lordosis after L5-S1 ALIF, L4-5 ALIF, and PCO in degenerative flatback specimens. For the iatrogenic group, statistically significant worsening was noted in measures of standing alignment after L4-L5-S1 hypolordotic fusion. Subsequent LLIF at L2-3 and L3-4 did not significantly improve sagittal alignment. However, after PCO at L2-3 and L3-4, final alignment parameters were not significantly different than preoperative baseline values prior to hypolordotic fusion.

Conclusions

ALIF cages in the lower lumbar segments significantly improved sagittal alignment in degenerative flatback specimens. In the upper lumbar segments, LLIF cages alone were ineffective at enhancing lumbar lordosis. LLIF cages in conjunction with PCO improved alignment parameters in degenerative and iatrogenic flatback deformities.

背景扁平背畸形或腰椎下垂可导致矢状面失衡,引起背痛、疲劳和功能受限。通过截骨和椎体间融合技术进行手术矫正可恢复矢状面平衡并缓解疼痛。方法将人体 T10-骶骨标本分为两组:退行性平背标本的 L1-S1 椎前凸(26.1°±15.0° vs. 47.8°±19.3°,p<.05)小于先天性标本组(26.1°±15.0° vs. 47.8°±19.3°,p<.05)。将标本安装在仪器中,模拟站立姿势,标称骶骨斜度为 45 度,并承受 400N 的压缩随动器预压。退行性腰椎平背畸形的序列矫正包括:L5-S1 的前路腰椎椎间融合术 (ALIF)、L4-5 的 ALIF、L2-3 和 L3-4 的侧路腰椎椎间融合术 (LLIF),以及 L2-3 和 L3-4 的后柱截骨术 (PCO)。在先天性标本中,通过在L4-L5-S1处使用椎弓根螺钉器械进行后方原位固定,然后通过椎弓根螺钉进行牵引,形成平背畸形。我们随后在 L2-3 和 L3-4 处进行了 LLIF,然后在 L2-3 和 L3-4 处进行了 PCO。结果在退行性平背标本中,L5-S1 ALIF、L4-5 ALIF 和 PCO 后,SVA 和前凸在统计学上有显著的增量矫正。在先天性组中,L4-L5-S1下脊柱融合术后,站立对齐度有明显的统计学恶化。随后的 L2-3 和 L3-4 LLIF 并未明显改善矢状排列。然而,L2-3和L3-4的PCO术后,最终的对位参数与下椎体融合术前的基线值相比没有明显差异。在上腰段,单独使用 LLIF 保持架无法有效改善腰椎前凸。LLIF固定架与PCO结合使用可改善退行性平背畸形和先天性平背畸形的对齐参数。

Background

Despite widespread usage of the SRS-22r questionnaire (Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire-22r), the English version has only sparingly been subjected to analysis using modern psychometric techniques for patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). The study purpose was to improve interpretation and clinical utility of the SRS-22r for adolescents with AIS by generating additional robust evidence, using modern statistical techniques. Questions about (1) Structure and (2) Item and Scale Functioning are addressed and interpreted for clinicians and researchers.

Methods

This retrospective case review analyzed SRS-22r data collected from 1823 patients (mean age 14.9±2.2years) with a primary diagnosis of AIS who clinically completed an SRS-22r questionnaire.

Individual SRS-22r questions and domain scores were retrieved through data queries. Patient information collected through chart review included diagnosis, age at assessment, sex, race and radiographic parameters. From 6044 SRS-22r assessments, 1 assessment per patient was randomly selected. Exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) and item response theory (IRT) techniques were used for data modeling, item calibration, and reliability assessment.

Results

ESEM demonstrated acceptable fit to the data: χ2 (130)=343.73, p<.001; RMSEA=0.035; CFI=0.98; TLI=0.96; SRMR=0.02. Several items failed to adequately load onto their assigned factor. Item fit was adequate for all items except SRSq10 (Self-Image), SRSq16 (Mental Health), and SRSq20 (Mental Health). IRT models found item discriminations are within normal levels for items in psychological measures, except items SRSq1 (pain), SRSq2 (pain), and SRSq16 (mental health). Estimated reliability of the Function domain (ρ=0.69) was low, however, Pain, Self-Image and Mental Health domains exhibited high (ρ>0.80) reliability.

Conclusions

Modern psychometric assessment of the SRS-22r, in adolescent patients with AIS, are presented and interpreted to assist clinicians and researchers in understanding its strengths and limitations. Overall, the SRS-22r demonstrated good psychometric properties in all domains except function. Cautious interpretation of the total score is suggested, as it does not reflect a single HRQoL construct.

背景尽管SRS-22r问卷(脊柱侧凸研究学会问卷-22r)被广泛使用,但其英文版却很少使用现代心理测量技术对青少年特发性脊柱侧凸(AIS)患者进行分析。本研究的目的是利用现代统计技术,通过提供更多可靠的证据,改进 SRS-22r 对青少年特发性脊柱侧凸患者的解释和临床实用性。本回顾性病例研究分析了从 1823 名主要诊断为 AIS 的患者(平均年龄为 14.9±2.2 岁)处收集的 SRS-22r 数据,这些患者在临床上填写了 SRS-22r 问卷。通过病历审查收集的患者信息包括诊断、评估时的年龄、性别、种族和放射学参数。从 6044 份 SRS-22r 评估中,随机抽取每位患者的一份评估。探索性结构方程建模(ESEM)和项目反应理论(IRT)技术被用于数据建模、项目校准和可靠性评估。结果ESEM显示了可接受的数据拟合度:χ2 (130)=343.73, p<.001; RMSEA=0.035; CFI=0.98; TLI=0.96; SRMR=0.02。有几个项目未能充分载入其指定因子。除 SRSq10(自我形象)、SRSq16(心理健康)和 SRSq20(心理健康)外,所有项目的项目拟合度都很高。IRT 模型发现,除 SRSq1(疼痛)、SRSq2(疼痛)和 SRSq16(心理健康)外,心理测量项目的项目区分度均在正常水平之内。功能域的估计信度(ρ=0.69)较低,但疼痛、自我形象和心理健康域的信度较高(ρ>0.80)。结论:本文介绍并解释了 SRS-22r 在青少年 AIS 患者中的现代心理测量评估,以帮助临床医生和研究人员了解其优点和局限性。总体而言,SRS-22r 在除功能外的所有领域都表现出良好的心理测量特性。建议谨慎解释总分,因为总分并不反映单一的 HRQoL 结构。
