Background: The long-term impact of reoperations following adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery is still poorly understood. Our aim was to identify the relationship between unplanned reoperation and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) gain at 2 and 5 years of follow-up.

Methods: We included patients enrolled in a prospective ASD database who underwent surgery ≥5 years prior to the start of the study and who had 2 years of follow-up data.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the isolated influence of smoking in patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for adult spinal deformity (ASD) surgery excluding known tobacco-related complications.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of a prospective multicenter ASD database. Patients operated on ASD with 2 year post-operative follow-up were included.

Background: Advancement in screening tools accessible to the general population for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and prediction of its progression is essential for achieving timely therapeutic interventions and conducting decentralized clinical trials. This study delves into the application of Machine Learning (ML) techniques by leveraging paralinguistic features extracted directly from a brief spontaneous speech (SS) protocol. We aimed to explore the capability of ML techniques to discriminate between different degrees of cognitive impairment based on SS.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine mid-long-term outcomes (5 years) following surgery for young adult idiopathic scoliosis (YAdIS).

Methods: This is a retrospective review of a prospective, multicenter adult deformity database including patients operated on idiopathic scoliosis by a single posterior approach, age at surgery between 19 and 29 (considered young adults), and 5-year follow-up. Demographic, radiographic and PROMS were analyzed preoperatively, at 2 years and at final follow-up.
