Multicenter Study
Do All Patients With Cerebral Palsy Require Postoperative Intensive Care Admission After Spinal Fusion?
Retrospective review of a prospective cohort. ⋯ Level III.

Comparative Study
Spine Deformity With Fused Ribs Treated With Proximal Rib- Versus Spine-Based Growing Constructs.
Retrospective review of prospectively collected data. ⋯ Patients underwent a mean of eight lengthening surgeries before final fusion or cessation of lengthening with a modest 2.3-cm increase in T1-T12 height. Compared with proximal rib anchors, proximal spine anchors controlled kyphosis and improved Cobb angle correction for early-onset scoliosis with rib fusions.

Perioperative Complications After Spinal Fusion in Pediatric Patients With Congenital Heart Disease.
Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have been reported to be at increased risk of developing scoliosis following cardiac surgery. Previous sample studies have reported that these patients may safely undergo posterior spinal fusion (PSF) with low complication rates. The goal of this study is to provide an updated analysis of the perioperative complication profile for posterior spinal fusion in a large cohort of pediatric patients with CHD, using a nationwide database. ⋯ Level III.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing spine fusion (SF) had their data prospectively collected. The SRS Spine Appearance Questionnaire (SAQ) was the primary outcome measure. The data were reviewed in a retrospective manner. ⋯ Level 2.
