    Sagittal radiographic parameters demonstrate weak correlations with pretreatment patient-reported health-related quality of life measures in symptomatic de novo degenerative lumbar scoliosis: a European multicenter analysis
    (AMER ASSOC NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS, 2018-01-01) Faraj, Sayf S. A.; De Kleuver, Marinus; Vila-Casademunt, Alba; Holewijn, Roderick M.; Obeid, Ibrahim; Acaroglu, Emre; Alanay, Ahmet; Kleinstuck, Frank; Perez-Grueso, Francisco S.; Pellise, Ferran; Grp, European Spine Study
    OBJECTIVE Previous studies have demonstrated that among patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD), sagittal plane malalignment is poorly tolerated and correlates with suboptimal patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL). These studies included a broad range of radiographic abnormalities and various types of ASD. However, the clinical and radiographic characteristics of de novo degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DNDLS), a subtype of ASD, may influence previously reported correlation strengths. The aim of this study was to correlate sagittal radiographic parameters with pretreatment HRQOL in patients with symptomatic DNDLS. METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study of prospectively collected data, 74 patients with symptomatic DNDLS were enrolled based on anteroposterior and lateral 36-inch standing radiographs. Measurements included Cobb angle, coronal imbalance, pelvic incidence (PI), pelvic tilt (PT), lumbar lordosis (LL), sagittal vertical axis (SVA), thoracic kyphosis, pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis (PI-LL), T1-pelvic angle, and global tilt. HRQOL questionnaires included the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Scoliosis Research Society (SRS-22r), 36-item Short-Form Health Survey, and numeric rating scale (NRS) for back and leg pain. Correlations between radiographic parameters and HRQOL were assessed. Finally, HRQOL and increasing severity of sagittal modifiers (SVA, PI-LL, and PT) were evaluated. RESULTS Weak correlations were found between SVA and ODI (r = 0.296, p < 0.05) and PT with NRS back pain and the SRS pain domain (r = -0.260, p < 0.05, and r = 0.282, p < 0.05, respectively). Other sagittal radiographic parameters did not show any significant correlation with HRQOL. No significant differences in HRQOL were found concerning the increasing severity of PT, PI-LL, and SVA. CONCLUSIONS While DNDLS is a severe disabling condition, no noteworthy association between clinical and sagittal radiographic parameters was found through this study, demonstrating that sagittal radiographic parameters should not be considered the unique predictor of pretreatment suboptimal health status in this specific group of patients. Future studies addressing classification and treatment algorithms will have to take into account the existing subgroups of ASD.

    Adult Spinal Deformity Over 70 Years of Age: A 2-Year Follow-Up Study
    (INT SOC ADVANCEMENT SPINE SURGERY-ISASS, 2019-01-01) Karabulut, Cem; Ayhan, Selim; Yuksel, Selcen; Nabiyev, Vugar; Vila-Casademunt, Alba; Pellise, Ferran; Alanay, Ahmet; Sanchez Perez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Kleinstuck, Frank; Obeid, Ibrahim; Acaroglu, Emre; Grp, European Spine Study
    Background: Treatment of adult spinal deformity (ASD) in elderly patients remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify the factors leading to the surgical treatment by comparing the baseline characteristics of operative versus nonoperative patients, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of surgery, and to compare operative and nonoperative management of elderly ASD patients at the end of the 2-year follow-up period. Methods: Retrospective review of a multicenter, prospective ASD database was performed. Patients over 70 years of age with ASD who were scheduled to undergo surgical treatment and who were treated and/or followed without surgical intervention participated in the study. Demographic, clinical, surgical, and radiological characteristics and health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) (Core Outcome Measures Index {[}COMI], Oswestry Disability Index {[}ODI], Short-Form-36 Mental Component Summary {[}SF-36 MCS], Short-Form-36 Physical Component Summary {[}SF36-PCS], and Scoliosis Research Society-22 {[}SRS-22]) parameters of such group of patients were evaluated pre-and posttreatment. Results: A total 90 patients (females: 71, males: 29

    Relative lumbar lordosis and lordosis distribution index: individualized pelvic incidence-based proportional parameters that quantify lumbar lordosis more precisely than the concept of pelvic incidence minus lumbar lordosis
    (AMER ASSOC NEUROLOGICAL SURGEONS, 2017-01-01) Yilgor, Caglar; Sogunmez, Nuray; Yavuz, Yasemin; Abul, Kadir; Boissiere, Louis; Haddad, Sleiman; Obeid, Ibrahim; Kleinstuck, Frank; Sanchez Perez-Grueso, Francisco Javier; Acaroglu, Emre; Mannion, Anne F.; Pellise, Ferran; Alanay, Ahmet; Grp, European Spine Study
    OBJECTIVE The subtraction of lumbar lordosis (LL) from the pelvic incidence (PI) offers an estimate of the LL required for a given PI value. Relative LL (RLL) and the lordosis distribution index (LDI) are PI-based individualized measures. RLL quantifies the magnitude of lordosis relative to the ideal lordosis as defined by the magnitude of PI. LDI defines the magnitude of lower arc lordosis in proportion to total lordosis. The aim of this study was to compare RLL and PI - LL for their ability to predict postoperative complications and their correlations with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) scores. METHODS Inclusion criteria were >= 4 levels of fusion and >= 2 years of follow-up. Mechanical complications were proximal junctional kyphosis/proximal junctional failure, distal junctional kyphosis/distal junctional failure, rod breakage, and implant-related complications. Correlations between PI - LL, RLL, PI, and HRQOL were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Mechanical complication rates in PI - LL, RLL, LDI, RLL, and LDI interpreted together, and RLL subgroups for each PI - LL category were compared using chi-square tests and the exact test. Predictive models for mechanical complications with RLL and PI - LL were analyzed using binomial logistic regressions. RESULTS Two hundred twenty-two patients (168 women, 54 men) were included. The mean age was 52.2 +/- 19.3 years (range 18-84 years). The mean follow-up was 28.8 +/- 8.2 months (range 24-62 months). There was a significant correlation between PI - LL and PI (r = 0.441, p < 0.001), threatening the use of PI -LL to quantify spinopelvic mismatch for different PI values. RLL was not correlated with PI (r = -0.093, p > 0.05)

    The Influence of Diagnosis, Age, and Gender on Surgical Outcomes in Patients With Adult Spinal Deformity
    (SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2018-01-01) Ayhan, Selim; Yuksel, Selcen; Nabiyev, Vugar; Adhikari, Prashant; Villa-Casademunt, Alba; Pellise, Ferran; Sanchez Perez-Grueso, Francisco; Alanay, Ahmet; Obeid, Ibrahim; Kleinstueck, Frank; Acaroglu, Emre; Grp, European Spine Study
    Study Design: Retrospective review of prospectively collected data from a multicentric database. Objectives: To determine the clinical impact of diagnosis, age, and gender on treatment outcomes in surgically treated adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients. Methods: A total of 199 surgical patients with a minimum follow-up of 1 year were included and analyzed for baseline characteristics. Patients were separated into 2 groups based on improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) parameters by minimum clinically important difference. Statistics were used to analyze the effect of diagnosis, age, and gender on outcome measurements followed by a multivariate binary logistic regression model for these results with statistical significance. Results: Age was found to affect SF-36 PCS (Short From-36 Physical Component Summary) score significantly, with an odds ratio of 1.017 (unit by unit) of improving SF-36 PCS score on multivariate analysis (P < .05). The breaking point in age for this effect was 37.5 years (AUC = 58.0, P = .05). A diagnosis of idiopathic deformity would increase the probability of improvement in Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) by a factor of 0.219 and in SF-36 PCS by 0.581 times (P < .05). Gender was found not to have a significant effect on any of the HRQOL scores. Conclusions: Age, along with a diagnosis of degenerative deformity, may have positive effects on the likelihood of improvement in SF-36 PCS (for age) and ODI (for diagnosis) in surgically treated patients with ASD and the breaking point of this effect may be earlier than generally anticipated. Gender does not seem to affect results. These may be important in patient counseling for the anticipated outcomes of surgery.
