Surgical management of neuromuscular scoliosis in paediatric patients: experiences from a tertiary centre multidisciplinary team.

Background: Management of neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) is challenging, with both surgical and conservative options involving risks. This study aimed to evaluate multimorbidity in patients with NMS and how this influences multidisciplinary team (MDT) decisions as well as postoperative outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients referred for assessment by the scoliosis MDT in the 8-year period between 2013 and 2021 from a single tertiary centre.
