Background: Up to 75% of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS) report back pain, but the exact contributors are unclear. This study seeks to assess how pain correlates with demographics, radiographic and surface topographic (ST) measurements, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with IS.
Methods: Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference (PI) and Scoliosis Research Society revised (SRS-22r) pain domain from an IRB approved prospectively collected registry containing patients 11 to 21 years old with IS were correlated (Spearman coefficients) with measurements from whole-body EOS radiography and ST scanning, PROMIS 1.0 PROMs, Trunk Appearance Perception Scale (TAPS), and SRS-22r domains. SRS-22r and PROMIS-PI were also compared between different sex, scoliosis severities, and primary curve locations with Mann-Whitney U or Kruskal-Wallis tests, and if significant differences were found, included with the 5 highest univariate correlated variables into stepwise multivariate linear regression models ( P <0.05 to enter, P >0.1 to remove) predicting SRS-22r pain and PROMIS-PI.
Results: One hundred and forty-nine patients (14.5 ± 2.0 y, body mass index 20.6 ± 4.1 kg/m 2 , 96 (64%) female, mean major coronal curve 40 ± 19 deg, range: 10 deg, 83 deg) reported mean PROMIS-PI of 42.2 ± 10.0 and SRS-22r pain of 4.4 ± 0.6. SRS-22r self-image was the most correlated variable with both SRS-22r pain (rho=0.519) and PROMIS-PI (rho=-0.594). Five variables, none of which were ST or radiographic measures, strongly predicted SRS pain domain (R=0.711, R2=0.505, N=138). Two variables (SRS-22r self-image and SRS-22r function) were utilized by a model correlated with PROMIS-PI (R=0.687, R2=0.463, N=124).
Conclusions: SRS-22r function and self-image domains were more strongly correlated with SRS-22r pain and PROMIS-PI than any radiographic or ST measurements.
Level Of Evidence: Level II-retrospective study.

Background: The Scoliosis Research Society-30 (SRS-30) is a questionnaire that was originally developed from the SRS-22r questionnaire and is used to evaluate adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). It comprises two sections, with Section 1 containing 22 items related to the SRS-22r questionnaire and 1 item regarding self-image and Section 2 containing 7 items specifically related to postoperative status. The SRS-30 has been also found useful in evaluating spinal disorders or deformity in adults.

The Scoliosis Research Society-22 revised (SRS-22r) questionnaire is the standard for HR-QoL assessment. However, studies have identified limitations with the SRS-22r, including content and face validity issues, reliability concerns, and language appropriateness.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to track the progression of adult spinal deformity (ASD) over a decade, focusing on factors that affect spinal alignment.
- It involved analyzing full spine radiographs of 204 participants, showing a significant overall deterioration in spinal condition, with only 13% of participants experiencing improvement.
- Key predictors for changes in spinal alignment included low scores on self-assessment questionnaires related to function and severe pelvic tilt, emphasizing the need for personalized treatment approaches based on individual risk factors.
Is Opioid Consumption Impacted by Study Participation? Maintenance of Fewer Opioid Refills With Reduced Prescription Quantity After Posterior Spinal Fusion in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Background: Opioid overprescribing can lead to nonmedical opioid use. In a previous prospective study (STUDY), we showed that a standardized protocol involving preoperative education and reduced opioid prescription quantity decreased opioid use in idiopathic scoliosis patients following posterior spinal fusion (PSF). A potential limitation was the Hawthorne effect, where participant behavior changes due to observation.
