Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to investigate how social health inequalities might affect the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the French healthcare system by analyzing the care pathway from diagnosis to post-surgery.
- - Researchers reviewed data from 883 patients who underwent surgery for scoliosis between 2009 and 2019, focusing on factors like Cobb angle measurements, brace compliance, and surgical outcomes, using regression models to assess socioeconomic influences.
- - The findings indicated that socioeconomic deprivation had a limited impact on treatment management, with significant effects only observed at the first consultation and on postoperative correction, highlighting the need for improved screening practices and further research on socioeconomic factors.
