Patient-reported outcomes following surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis performed in adolescence versus adulthood
This work confirms there are benefits following surgery for AIS in improving HRQoL, but has also provided HRQoL data in adult patients, who again show similar improvements following surgery from baseline. This is of value when counselling patients regarding anticipated benefits of surgery performed in childhood and adulthood.
