Health-related quality-of-life in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients 25 years after treatment

Conclusion: HRQOLs, as measured by the SRS22R and SF-36, of adult AIS patients treated with Boston brace or PSF during adolescence were similar to the general population. No clinical progression of the deformity has been detected during the 25-year follow up period. The PSF group had a small but statistically significant higher score in the Satisfaction domain compared to the braced group.Trial registrationS-20110025 Regional Committees on Health Research Ethics for Southern Denmark.
