Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of different lengthening intervals for the Magnetically Controlled Growing Rod (MCGR) in treating Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS) patients and assesses patient-perceived outcomes using the validated EOS 24-Item Questionnaire (EOSQ).
- A cohort of 133 subjects, observed over an average of 3.5 years, was divided into high, medium, and low lengthening interval subgroups, with analysis revealing that the medium interval group had significantly better scores in fatigue, emotion, and parental impact domains.
- Ultimately, results suggest that all lengthening intervals are well tolerated by patients and their families, showing no negative effects on overall health-related quality of life.
