Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are crucial for assessing adult spinal deformity surgery, with improved sagittal alignment correlating to better quality of life. Standardizing PROs will enhance global comparisons and value-based care.

Patient-Reported Outcomes

Background:

Adult spinal deformity outcome assessment has shifted from radiographic measures to patient-centered health-related quality of life.
Oswestry Disability Index and Scoliosis Research Society-22 Patient Questionnaire are primary patient-reported outcome (PRO) tools in deformity surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the evolution of outcome assessment in adult spinal deformity.
To highlight the importance of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and their correlation with surgical correction.
To discuss emerging outcome measurement methods and the need for standardized core domains.

Main Methods:

Literature review of outcome assessment in adult spinal deformity.
Analysis of predominantly used patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurements.
Discussion of the correlation between radiographic parameters and PROs.
Exploration of newer functional and accelerometer-based outcome measures.

Main Results:

Correction of sagittal alignment in adult spinal deformity surgery correlates with improved patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
Established PROs like Oswestry Disability Index and SRS-22 are widely used.
Newer methods like functional outcomes and accelerometer data show potential but require further validation.

Conclusions:

Patient-centered outcome assessment is paramount in adult spinal deformity.
Standardizing a core set of outcome domains is essential for international comparison and benchmarking.
Adoption of standardized outcomes will advance value-based healthcare in spine surgery.
