The aim of this study was to identify groups of users according to their degree of satisfaction with geriatric care services and determine the primary factors associated with satisfaction. This was a cross-sectional study of 181 people enrolled in 36 modules pertaining to the State Workers Social Security Institute (ISSSTE) in Mexico. Degree of satisfaction was measured according to the following three areas: general characteristics of services offered, friendliness of staff and infrastructure. A cluster analysis was performed to identify groups of users according to their level of satisfaction, and an ordinal logistic regression model was used to determine the associated factors. Fifty-three percent were satisfied with the services, 34.3% were fairly satisfied and 12.7% were dissatisfied. The main characteristics associated with a greater degree of satisfaction were being female, older and the head of household. The health system must address this growing population and ensure the development of quality care to meet their needs.

Can Surgery Be Proposed to Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients With Structural Lumbar Curves Associated With Nonreducible Iliolumbar Angle?
J Pediatr Orthop

Department of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Robert Debré University Hospital, Assistance Publique des Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP).
Background: Lower instrumented vertebra (LIV) selection for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) with structural lumbar curves (Lenke 3, 5, and 6) remains debated. The iliolumbar angle (ILA) measurement is useful for assessing the lumbosacral junction flexibility. If it is nonreducible, surgeons need to make a difficult choice between a potential "imperfect" L4, associated with a residual lumbosacral curve, or a more distal fusion performed later in life due to poorer functional outcomes.
