The aim of this study was to provide benchmarks for the rates of complications by type of surgery performed. ⋯ Level III.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Prospectively Collected Comparison of Outcomes Between Surgically and Conservatively Treated Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Retrospective review of a prospectively collected multicenter registry. ⋯ Surgically treated patients with AIS have improved HRQOL outcomes in several domains compared with age-matched and curve magnitude-matched nonoperatively treated patients at two-year follow-up.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Comparison of the Odontoid and Orbital-Coronal Vertical Axis Lines in Evaluating Coronal Alignment and Outcomes in Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery.
Asymptomatic Multi-Ethnic Alignment Normative Study (MEANS) cohort: cross-sectional, multicenter. Symptomatic cohort: retrospective, multisurgeon, single-center. ⋯ ORB-CVA and OD-CVA correlated with radiographic parameters, patient-reported outcomes, and intraoperative complications. ORB-CVA and OD-CVA can be used interchangeably as cranial coronal parameters in adult spinal deformity surgery.

Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Modern Concepts in Sagittal Curve Measurement: Comparison of Spline-based and Fixed Landmark Measurements in a Cohort of 1520 Healthy Subjects.
Retrospective multicenter study. ⋯ Our results suggest that the use of TK T1T12 and LL L1S1 is acceptable to assess spinal sagittal curvatures. However, TK T5T12 is not accurate for the thoracic curve and should be used with caution. LL L1S1 can be used to accurately assess the lumbar curve, except in Roussouly type 1.
