A systematic review and meta-analysis. ⋯ In mild to moderate ADS, we found that the advantages of open surgery include greater improvement in lumbar lordosis and pelvic tilt angle and shorter operative time. The advantages of minimally invasive surgery are less intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and fewer serious postoperative complications. There is no significant difference between the two surgical methods in terms of Cobb angle, clinical pain and SVA improvement.

Retrospective study. ⋯ Patients at a higher risk of presenting to the ED post-operatively should be identified and may benefit from additional counseling and access to the care team virtually to limit unnecessary healthcare utilization. Focusing on patients who reach out via EPP messaging post-operatively may be a good target patient group to address first. Future research is needed to investigate the possible health literacy and other socioeconomic barriers affecting these patients so that appropriate, more cost-effective resources can be utilized to avoid clinically unnecessary and costly ED visits.

Retrospective cohort study. ⋯ Optimal bracing compliance in AIS is significantly influenced by pre-bracing satisfaction and brace compliance at earlier time point. These findings highlight the need to address psychological factors and early compliance in AIS bracing treatment. SRS-22r can be useful to identify the need for psychological support.
