Are there distinct patterns of clinical deficits in cervical deformity? A discriminant analysis of health-related quality of life measures
Distinct patterns of HRQOL deficits were observed across a heterogeneous population of patients with CD, and these patterns were associated with specific radiographic morphotypes. These findings provide a framework for the next generation of CD classification, wherein HRQOL measures are combined with radiographic parameters.
