Study of Factors Affecting Quality of Life Improvement One Year After Surgery for Adult Spinal Deformity

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are studying adults with spinal deformity who have undergone surgery to understand what factors predict an improvement in their quality of life one year after the operation. This observational study focuses on patients with specific spinal deformity characteristics, aiming to identify key elements linked to better recovery outcomes. The study involves assessing participants using quality of life questionnaires such as the Oswestry Disability Index, Scoliosis Research Society-22R, and Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire. Participants also undergo spinal radiography in full, face, and profile views. These assessments help track physical and functional changes related to the spinal deformity and surgery. Participants will be followed for up to 15 years, with researchers measuring factors associated with improvement in the Oswestry Disability Score over time. Throughout the study, participants complete questionnaires and have imaging tests to monitor their progress. The study sponsor is Elsan, and the total participation duration may extend over many years to gather long-term data on recovery and quality of life.
