Study design: This was a retrospective case-control study using 8 years of data from a nationwide database of surgical outcomes in the United States.

Purpose: This study aimed to improve our understanding of the risk factors associated with a length of stay (LOS) >1 day and aid in reducing postoperative hospitalization and complications.

Overview of literature: Despite the proven safety of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), some patients face prolonged postoperative hospitalization.

Methods: Data were collected from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program dataset from 2011 to 2018. The cohort was divided into patients with LOS up to 1 day (LOS ≤1 day), defined as same day or next-morning discharge, and patients with LOS >1 day (LOS >1 day). Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed to evaluate predictors of LOS >1 day. Propensity-score matching was performed to compare pre- and postdischarge complication rates.

Results: A total of 12,664 eligible patients with TLIF were identified, of which 14.8% had LOS ≤1 day and 85.2% had LOS >1 day. LOS >1 day was positively associated with female sex, Hispanic ethnicity, diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification 3, and operation length of >150 minutes. Patients with LOS >1 day were more likely to undergo intraoperative/postoperative blood transfusion (0.3% vs. 4.5%, p<0.001) and reoperation (0.1% vs. 0.6%, p=0.004). No significant differences in the rates of postdischarge complications were found between the matched groups.

Conclusions: Patients with worsened preoperative status, preoperative diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, and prolonged operative time are more likely to require prolonged hospitalization and blood transfusions and undergo unplanned reoperation. To reduce the risk of prolonged hospitalization and associated complications, patients indicated for TLIF should be carefully selected.

研究设计:目的:本研究旨在加深我们对住院时间(LOS)大于 1 天的相关风险因素的了解,并帮助减少术后住院和并发症:尽管经椎间孔腰椎椎体间融合术(TLIF)的安全性已得到证实,但仍有部分患者面临术后住院时间过长的问题:数据收集自2011年至2018年的美国外科医生学会国家手术质量改进计划数据集。队列分为住院时间不超过1天(LOS ≤1天)的患者(定义为当日或次日上午出院)和住院时间大于1天(LOS >1天)的患者。为评估LOS >1天的预测因素,进行了单变量和多变量回归分析。为比较出院前和出院后的并发症发生率,进行了倾向分数匹配分析:共确定了12664名符合条件的TLIF患者,其中14.8%的患者LOS≤1天,85.2%的患者LOS>1天。LOS>1天与女性性别、西班牙裔、脊柱滑脱诊断、美国麻醉医师协会分类3以及手术时间>150分钟呈正相关。LOS>1天的患者更有可能术中/术后输血(0.3% vs. 4.5%,P结论:术前状况恶化、术前诊断为脊柱滑脱症、手术时间延长的患者更有可能需要延长住院时间和输血,并接受意外的再次手术。为降低长期住院和相关并发症的风险,应谨慎选择适合接受 TLIF 的患者。

Study design: Retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: To investigate the long-term clinical and radiological outcomes of selective fusion for rotatory olisthesis (RO) in degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS).

Overview of literature: DLS is often associated with RO, and selective fusion of RO is a common surgical treatment option. However, the clinical and radiological outcomes remain controversial.

Methods: A cohort of 54 consecutive patients with DLS and RO was included in the study. All the included patients underwent selective RO fusion and at least 2 years of follow-up. They were divided into two groups: group 1 with a curve <30° and group 2 with a curve ≥30°. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Numerical Rating Scale. The radiological assessment included RO location, offset and subluxated-disc orientation, Cobb angle, and coronal as well as sagittal alignments.

Results: The offset value was greater in group 2 than in group 1 (13.4±4.7 mm vs. 9.3±3.5 mm, p<0.001). The subluxated disc was mainly oriented to the concave side in group 2 (15/21) but to the convex side in group 1 (20/33) (p =0.022). Group 2 had a higher rate of postoperative adjacent RO than group 1 (14/21 vs. 1/33, p<0.001). The ODI was comparable between both groups preoperatively but higher at the final follow-up in group 2 (34.9±9.5) than in group 1 (24.4±6.2). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, the thoracolumbar/lumbar curve was identified as the risk factor for postoperative adjacent RO (odds ratio, 1.400; p=0.007). The receiver operating characteristic analysis verified it with an area under the curve of 0.960 (p<0.001).

Conclusions: The clinical and radiological outcomes were maintained well in group 1 but not in group 2. Selective RO fusion in DLS with a lumbar curve <30° is a rational option. However, it should be avoided in those with a lumbar curve >30° because of a higher complication rate and a worse clinical outcome at the final follow-up.

研究设计目的:研究选择性融合术治疗退行性腰椎侧弯症(DLS)中的旋转性骨质疏松症(RO)的长期临床和放射学效果:文献概述:退行性腰椎侧凸通常伴有旋转性骨畸形,选择性融合旋转性骨畸形是一种常见的手术治疗方案。然而,临床和放射学结果仍存在争议:方法:研究纳入了 54 名连续的 DLS 和 RO 患者。所有患者均接受了选择性 RO 融合术,并接受了至少 2 年的随访。他们被分为两组:第一组为曲线结果:第 2 组的偏移值大于第 1 组(13.4±4.7 mm vs. 9.3±3.5 mm,p 结论:腰椎弧度 30° 的 DLS 选择性 RO 融合术的并发症发生率较高,最终随访的临床结果较差,因此第 1 组的临床和放射学结果保持良好,而第 2 组则不然。

IF 2.3 Q2 ORTHOPEDICS Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Epub Date: 2024-05-20 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2023.0404

Study design: Feasibility study.

Purpose: A phantom model was used to evaluate the accuracy of a novel augmented reality (AR) system for cervical screw placement.

Overview of literature: The use of navigation systems is becoming increasingly common in spine procedures. However, numerous factors limit the feasibility of regular and widespread use of navigation tools during spine surgery. AR is a new technology that has already demonstrated utility as a navigation tool during spine surgery. However, advancements in AR technology are needed to increase its adoption by the medical community.

Methods: AR technology that uses a fiducial-less registration system was tested in a preclinical cervical spine phantom model study for accuracy during spinal screw placement. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the spine along with trajectory lines was superimposed onto the phantom model using an AR headset. Participants used the AR system to guide screw placement, and post-instrumentation scans were compared for accuracy assessment.

Results: Twelve cervical screws were placed under AR guidance. All screws were placed in an acceptable anatomic position. The average distance error for the insertion point was 2.73±0.55 mm, whereas that for the endpoint was 2.71±0.69 mm. The average trajectory angle error for all insertions was 2.69°±0.59°.

Conclusions: This feasibility study describes a novel registration approach that superimposes spinal anatomy and trajectories onto the surgeon's real-world view of the spine. These results demonstrate reasonable accuracy in the preclinical model. The results of this study demonstrate that this technology can assist with accurate screw placement. Further investigation using cadaveric and clinical models is warranted.

研究设计:可行性研究:目的:使用模型评估新型增强现实(AR)系统在颈椎螺钉置入方面的准确性:导航系统在脊柱手术中的使用越来越普遍。文献概述:导航系统在脊柱手术中的使用越来越普遍。然而,许多因素限制了在脊柱手术中定期和广泛使用导航工具的可行性。AR 是一种新技术,已被证明可在脊柱手术中用作导航工具。然而,AR 技术还需要不断进步,以提高医学界对其的采用率:方法:在临床前颈椎模型研究中测试了使用无靶标注册系统的 AR 技术在脊柱螺钉置入过程中的准确性。使用 AR 头显将脊柱的三维重建和轨迹线叠加到模型上。参与者使用 AR 系统指导螺钉置入,并对仪器置入后的扫描进行比较,以评估准确性:结果:在 AR 的引导下,共放置了 12 颗颈椎螺钉。所有螺钉都放置在可接受的解剖位置。插入点的平均距离误差为(2.73±0.55)毫米,而终点的平均距离误差为(2.71±0.69)毫米。所有插入点的平均轨迹角度误差为 2.69°±0.59°:这项可行性研究描述了一种新颖的配准方法,该方法可将脊柱解剖结构和轨迹叠加到外科医生的脊柱真实视图上。这些结果证明了临床前模型的合理准确性。该研究结果表明,该技术可帮助准确放置螺钉。有必要使用尸体和临床模型进行进一步研究。

Value of Hounsfield units measured by chest computed tomography for assessing bone density in the thoracolumbar segment of the thoracic spine. 胸部计算机断层扫描测量的 Hounsfield 单位在评估胸椎胸腰段骨密度方面的价值。
IF 2.3 Q2 ORTHOPEDICS Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Epub Date: 2024-06-25 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2023.0438

Study design: A retrospective study.

Purpose: To investigate the correlation between Hounsfield unit (HU) values measured by chest computed tomography (CT) and dual-energy Xray absorptiometry (DXA) T-scores. HU-based thoracolumbar (T11 and T12) cutoff thresholds were calculated for a cohort of Chinese patients.

Overview of literature: For patients with osteoporosis, the incidence of fractures in the thoracolumbar segment is significantly higher than that in other sites. However, most current clinical studies have focused on L1.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent chest CT and DXA at our hospital between August 2021 and August 2022. Thoracic thoracolumbar segment HU values, lumbar T-scores, and hip T-scores were computed for comparison, and thoracic thoracolumbar segment HU thresholds suggestive of potential bone density abnormalities were established using receiver operating characteristic curves.

Results: In total, 470 patients (72.4% women; mean age, 65.5±12.3 years) were included in this study. DXA revealed that of the 470 patients, 90 (19%) had osteoporosis, 180 (38%) had reduced osteopenia, and 200 (43%) had normal bone mineral density (BMD). To differentiate osteoporosis from osteopenia, the HU threshold was established as 105.1 (sensitivity, 54.4%; specificity, 72.2%) for T11 and 85.7 (sensitivity, 69.4%; specificity, 61.1%) for T12. To differentiate between osteopenia and normal BMD, the HU threshold was 146.7 for T11 (sensitivity, 57.5%; specificity, 84.4%) and 135.7 for T12 (sensitivity, 59.5%; specificity, 80%).

Conclusions: This study supports the significance of HU values from chest CT for BMD assessment. Chest CT provides a new method for clinical opportunistic screening of osteoporosis. When the T11 HU is >146.7 or the T12 HU is >135.7, additional osteoporosis testing is not needed unless a vertebral fracture is detected. If the T11 HU is <105.1 or the T12 HU is <85.7, further DXA testing is strongly advised. In addition, vertebral HU values that fall faster than those of the T11 and L1 vertebrae may explain the high incidence of T12 vertebral fractures.

研究设计:目的:研究胸部计算机断层扫描(CT)测量的 Hounsfield 单位(HU)值与双能 X 射线吸收测量(DXA)T 评分之间的相关性。文献综述:对于骨质疏松症患者而言,胸腰段骨折的发生率明显高于其他部位。然而,目前大多数临床研究都集中在 L1 段:这项回顾性研究分析了 2021 年 8 月至 2022 年 8 月期间在我院接受胸部 CT 和 DXA 检查的患者。计算胸椎-胸腰段 HU 值、腰椎 T 值和髋关节 T 值以进行比较,并使用接收器操作特征曲线确定提示潜在骨密度异常的胸椎-胸腰段 HU 阈值:本研究共纳入 470 名患者(72.4% 为女性;平均年龄为 65.5±12.3 岁)。DXA 显示,在 470 名患者中,90 人(19%)患有骨质疏松症,180 人(38%)患有骨质疏松症,200 人(43%)的骨矿密度(BMD)正常。为区分骨质疏松症和骨质疏松症,T11 和 T12 的 HU 临界值分别为 105.1(灵敏度为 54.4%;特异度为 72.2%)和 85.7(灵敏度为 69.4%;特异度为 61.1%)。为区分骨质疏松症和正常 BMD,T11 的 HU 临界值为 146.7(灵敏度为 57.5%;特异度为 84.4%),T12 为 135.7(灵敏度为 59.5%;特异度为 80%):本研究证实了胸部 CT 的 HU 值对 BMD 评估的重要性。胸部 CT 为骨质疏松症的临床机会性筛查提供了一种新方法。当 T11 HU >146.7 或 T12 HU >135.7 时,除非发现脊椎骨折,否则无需进行额外的骨质疏松症检测。如果 T11 HU

Study design: A retrospective multicenter case series was conducted.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate survival and prognostic factors after surgery for a metastatic spinal tumor.

Overview of literature: Prognostic factors after spinal metastasis surgery remain controversial.

Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted. The study participants included 345 patients who underwent surgery for spinal metastases from 2010 to 2020 at nine referral spine centers in Japan. Data for each patient were extracted from medical records. To identify the factors predicting survival prognosis after surgery, univariate analyses were performed using a Cox proportional hazards model.

Results: The mean age was 65.9 years. Common primary tumors were lung (n=72), prostate (n=61), and breast (n=39), and 67.8% (n=234) presented with osteolytic lesions. The epidural spinal cord compression scale score 2 or 3 was recognized in 79.0% (n=271). Frankel grade A paralysis accounted for 1.4% (n=5), and 73.3% (n=253) were categorized as intermediate or high risk according to the new Katagiri score. The overall survival rates were -71.0% at 6 months, 57.4% at 12, and 43.3% at 24. In the univariate analysis, Frankel grade A (hazard ratio [HR], 3.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-10.50; p<0.05), intermediate risk (HR, 3.34; 95% CI, 2.10-5.32; p<0.01), and high risk (HR, 7.77; 95% CI, 4.72-12.8; p<0.01) in the new Katagiri score were significantly associated with poor survival. On the contrary, postoperative chemotherapy (HR, 0.23; 95% CI, 0.15-0.36; p<0.01), radiation therapy (HR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26-0.70; p<0.01), and both adjuvant therapy (HR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.14-0.32; p<0.01) were suggested to improve survival.

Conclusions: Surgical indications for patients with Frankel grade A or intermediate or high risk in the new Katagiri score should be carefully considered because of poor survival. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy should be considered after surgery for better survival.

Study design: An experimental study.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the potential use of artificial neural networks (ANNs) in the detection of odontoid fractures using the Konstanz Information Miner (KNIME) Analytics Platform that provides a technique for computer-assisted diagnosis using radiographic X-ray imaging.

Overview of literature: In medical image processing, computer-assisted diagnosis with ANNs from radiographic X-ray imaging is becoming increasingly popular. Odontoid fractures are a common fracture of the axis and account for 10%-15% of all cervical fractures. However, a literature review of computer-assisted diagnosis with ANNs has not been made.

Methods: This study analyzed 432 open-mouth (odontoid) radiographic views of cervical spine X-ray images obtained from dataset repositories, which were used in developing ANN models based on the convolutional neural network theory. All the images contained diagnostic information, including 216 radiographic images of individuals with normal odontoid processes and 216 images of patients with acute odontoid fractures. The model classified each image as either showing an odontoid fracture or not. Specifically, 70% of the images were training datasets used for model training, and 30% were used for testing. KNIME's graphic user interface-based programming enabled class label annotation, data preprocessing, model training, and performance evaluation.

Results: The graphic user interface program by KNIME was used to report all radiographic X-ray imaging features. The ANN model performed 50 epochs of training. The performance indices in detecting odontoid fractures included sensitivity, specificity, F-measure, and prediction error of 100%, 95.4%, 97.77%, and 2.3%, respectively. The model's accuracy accounted for 97% of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for the diagnosis of odontoid fractures.

Conclusions: The ANN models with the KNIME Analytics Platform were successfully used in the computer-assisted diagnosis of odontoid fractures using radiographic X-ray images. This approach can help radiologists in the screening, detection, and diagnosis of acute odontoid fractures.

Clinical use of quantitative computed tomography to evaluate the effect of less paraspinal muscle damage on bone mineral density changes after lumbar interbody fusion. 临床使用定量计算机断层扫描评估腰椎间盘融合术后脊柱旁肌肉损伤较少对骨矿物质密度变化的影响。
IF 2.3 Q2 ORTHOPEDICS Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Epub Date: 2024-06-25 DOI: 10.31616/asj.2023.0447

Study design: A retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the reliability of quantitative computed tomography (QCT) in measuring bone mineral density (BMD) of instrumented vertebrae and investigate the effect of less paraspinal muscle damage on BMD changes after lumbar interbody fusion.

Overview of literature: Patients always experience a decrease in vertebral BMD after lumbar interbody fusion. However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has analyzed the effect of paraspinal muscles on BMD changes.

Methods: This retrospective analysis included a total of 155 patients who underwent single-level lumbar fusion, with 81 patients in the traditional group and 74 patients in the Wiltse group (less paraspinal muscle damage). QCT was used to measure the volumetric BMD (vBMD), Hounsfield unit value, and cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscles at the upper instrumented vertebrae (UIV), vertebrae one segment above the UIV (UIV+1), and the vertebrae one segment above the UIV+1 (UIV+2). Statistical analyses were performed.

Results: No significant differences in general data were observed between the two groups (p>0.05). Strong correlations were noted between the preoperative and 1-week postoperative vBMD of each segment (p<0.01), with no significant difference between the two time points in both groups (p>0.05). Vertebral BMD loss was significantly higher in UIV+1 and UIV+2 in the traditional group than in the Wiltse group (-13.6%±19.1% vs. -4.2%±16.5%, -10.8%±20.3% vs. -0.9%±37.0%; p<0.05). However, no statistically significant difference was observed in the percent vBMD changes in the UIV segment between the two groups (37.7%±70.1% vs. 36.1%±78.7%, p>0.05).

Conclusions: QCT can reliably determine BMD in the instrumented spine after lumbar interbody fusion. With QCT, we found that reducing paraspinal muscle destruction through the Wiltse approach during surgery can help preserve the adjacent vertebral BMD; however, it does not help increase the BMD in the instrumented vertebrae.

研究设计目的:本研究旨在评估定量计算机断层扫描(QCT)在测量带器械椎体的骨矿密度(BMD)方面的可靠性,并探讨腰椎椎体间融合术后脊柱旁肌肉损伤较少对 BMD 变化的影响:腰椎椎体间融合术后,患者的椎体 BMD 总是会下降。然而,据我们所知,还没有研究分析过脊柱旁肌肉对 BMD 变化的影响:这项回顾性分析共包括 155 名接受单层腰椎融合术的患者,其中 81 名患者属于传统组,74 名患者属于 Wiltse 组(脊柱旁肌肉损伤较少)。采用 QCT 测量了上器械椎体(UIV)、UIV+1 以上一段椎体(UIV+1)和 UIV+1 以上一段椎体(UIV+2)的脊柱旁肌肉体积 BMD(vBMD)、Hounsfield 单位值和横截面积。进行了统计分析:两组的一般数据无明显差异(P>0.05)。术前和术后一周各节段的 vBMD 之间存在很强的相关性(P0.05)。传统组 UIV+1 和 UIV+2 的椎体 BMD 损失明显高于 Wiltse 组(-13.6%±19.1% vs. -4.2%±16.5%, -10.8%±20.3% vs. -0.9%±37.0%;P0.05):结论:QCT 可以可靠地测定腰椎椎间融合术后有器械脊柱的 BMD。通过 QCT,我们发现在手术过程中通过 Wiltse 入路减少脊柱旁肌肉的破坏有助于保护邻近椎体的 BMD;但这无助于增加器械椎体的 BMD。

Study design: Retrospective study.

Purpose: To compare and correlate technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate uptake between benign and metastatic bone lesions using semiquantitative analysis of maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and mean Hounsfield unit (HU) in single-photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT-CT).

Overview of literature: Qualitative interpretation of metastatic bone lesions in breast cancer on bone scintigraphy is often complicated by coexisting benign lesions.

Methods: In total, 185 lesions were identified on bone and SPECT-CT scans from 32 patients. Lesions were classified as metastatic (109 sclerotic lesions) and benign (76 lesions) morphologically on low-dose CT. Semiquantitative analysis using SUVmax and mean HU was performed on the lesions and compared. To discriminate benign and metastatic lesions, the correlation between SUVmax and mean HU was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficients.

Results: The SUVmax was higher in metastatic lesions (20.66±14.36) but lower in benign lesions (10.18±12.79) (p<0.001). The mean HU was lower in metastatic lesions (166.62±202.02) but higher in benign lesions (517.65±192.8) (p<0.001). A weak negative correlation was found between the SUVmax and the mean HU for benign lesions, and a weak positive correlation was noted between the SUVmax and the mean HU on malignant lesions with no statistical significance (p=0.394 and 0.312, respectively). The cutoff values obtained were 10.8 for SUVmax (82.6% sensitivity and 84.2% specificity) and 240.86 for the mean HU (98.7% sensitivity and 88.1% specificity) in differentiating benign from malignant bone lesions.

Conclusions: Semiquantitative assessment using SUVmax and HU can complement qualitative analysis. Metastatic lesions had higher SUVmax but lower mean HU than benign lesions, whereas benign lesions demonstrated higher mean HU but lower SUVmax. A weak correlation was found between the SUVmax and the mean HU on malignant and benign lesions. Cutoff values of 10.8 for the SUVmax and 240.86 for the mean HU may differentiate bone metastases from benign lesions.

研究设计目的:通过对单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT-CT)中最大标准摄取值(SUVmax)和平均Hounsfield单位(HU)进行半定量分析,比较良性骨病变和转移性骨病变对锝-99m亚甲基二膦酸盐的摄取量,并将其相关联:文献综述:骨闪烁成像对乳腺癌转移性骨病变的定性解读往往因同时存在良性病变而变得复杂:方法:32 名患者的骨扫描和 SPECT-CT 扫描共发现 185 个病灶。方法:32 名患者的骨扫描和 SPECT-CT 扫描共发现 185 个病灶,根据低剂量 CT 的形态将病灶分为转移性病灶(109 个硬化性病灶)和良性病灶(76 个病灶)。使用 SUVmax 和平均 HU 对病变进行了半定量分析和比较。为了区分良性病变和转移性病变,使用类内相关系数确定了 SUVmax 和平均 HU 之间的相关性:结果:转移性病变的 SUVmax 较高(20.66±14.36),而良性病变的 SUVmax 较低(10.18±12.79)(p 结论:SUVmax 与平均 HU 之间存在相关性:使用SUVmax和HU进行半定量评估可补充定性分析。与良性病变相比,转移性病变的 SUVmax 较高,但平均 HU 较低,而良性病变的平均 HU 较高,但 SUVmax 较低。恶性和良性病变的 SUVmax 与平均 HU 之间的相关性较弱。SUVmax和平均HU的临界值分别为10.8和240.86,可以区分骨转移和良性病变。

Study design: Retrospective single-center study.

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the factors associated with the self-image domain of the Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised (SRS-22r) in patients who underwent corrective surgery for adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS).

Overview of literature: Adult spinal deformity (ASD) can be classified into AdIS and de novo scoliosis. However, no studies have investigated the effect of different ASD pathologies on self-image.

Methods: This study enrolled 60 patients who underwent corrective surgery and were followed up for >2 years postoperatively. AdIS was defined as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in patients who had no history of corrective surgery, had a primary thoracolumbar/lumbar (TL/L) curve, and were ≥30 years old at the time of surgery.

Results: The AdIS (n=23; mean age, 53.1 years) and de novo (n=37; mean age, 70.0 years) groups were significantly different in terms of the main thoracic and TL/L curves, sagittal vertical axis, thoracic kyphosis, and thoracolumbar kyphosis preoperatively. The scores in the self-image domain of the SRS-22r (before surgery/2 years after surgery [PO2Y]) were 2.2/4.4 and 2.3/3.7 in the AdIS and de novo groups, respectively, and PO2Y was significantly different between the two groups (p<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that AdIS was an independent factor associated with self-image at PO2Y (p=0.039).

Conclusions: AdIS, a spinal deformity pathology, was identified as a significant factor associated with the self-image domain of SRS-22r in patients who underwent corrective surgery. AdIS is not solely classified based on pathology but also differs in terms of the clinical aspect of self-image improvement following corrective surgery.

研究设计目的:本研究旨在探讨在接受成人特发性脊柱侧凸(AdIS)矫正手术的患者中,与脊柱侧凸研究学会-22修订版(SRS-22r)自我形象领域相关的因素:成人脊柱畸形(ASD)可分为成人特发性脊柱侧弯症(AdIS)和新生儿脊柱侧弯症(de novo scoliosis)。然而,还没有研究调查过不同的 ASD 病理对自我形象的影响:本研究共纳入了60名接受过矫正手术的患者,并在术后进行了2年以上的随访。AdIS被定义为青少年特发性脊柱侧凸,患者无矫正手术史,有原发性胸腰/腰椎(TL/L)曲线,手术时年龄≥30岁:AdIS组(23人;平均年龄53.1岁)和从头开始组(37人;平均年龄70.0岁)在术前的主要胸椎和TL/L曲线、矢状垂直轴、胸椎后凸和胸腰椎后凸方面存在显著差异。AdIS 组和新生组在 SRS-22r 自我形象领域(术前/术后 2 年 [PO2Y])的得分分别为 2.2/4.4 和 2.3/3.7,两组间的 PO2Y 有显著差异(P结论:AdIS是一种脊柱畸形病理,被认为是与接受矫正手术患者的SRS- 22r自我形象相关的重要因素。AdIS 不仅仅是根据病理学进行分类,而且在矫正手术后自我形象改善的临床方面也存在差异。
