First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at adults with spinal deformity to understand which factors—like pain, daily functioning, mental health, and frailty—most influence quality of life. It follows 320 people receiving either conservative care, first-time corrective surgery, or a reoperation, using questionnaires and routine imaging. The goal is to support more personalized, person-centered treatment decisions.
