Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim was to investigate pulmonary function after surgical correction of adult idiopathic scoliosis. METHODS: This study included 146 adult scoliosis patients aged 20-50 years (main curve in thoracic spine). Respiratory function was assessed as predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s / FVC (%FEV1) preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively and classified as a normal function (≥ 80%), mild impairment (≥ 65% and < 80%), and moderate impairment (< 65%). RESULTS: Preoperative %FVC and %FEV1 were 85.3% and 85.4%, which were 81.5% and 87.5% at 2 years post-surgery. The preoperative %FVC was mild and moderate in 39 (26.7%) and 12 patients (11.6%), respectively. The %FVC significantly improved (+ 6.2% ± 11.4%, P < 0.001) postoperatively for moderate severity but significantly decreased postoperatively (- 6.4% ± 9.4%, P < 0.001) for normal function. The preoperative %FEV1 was mild and moderate in 27 (18.5%) and 0 patients, respectively. The %FEV1 significantly improved postoperatively (6.3% ± 5.3%, P < 0.001) for mild severity but did not significantly change for normal severity. Twenty-three (15.8%) and 41 (28.1%) patients showed improved ⊿%FVC and ⊿% FEV1 > 5%. Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative %FVC and %FEV1 severities were independent factors affecting postoperative recovery of %FVC (OR 0.95) and %FEV1 (OR 0.85). CONCLUSION: Pulmonary function improved in patients with preoperative pulmonary impairment of < 65% in %FVC and < 80% in %FEV1, and the real improvement was limited to patients with severe preoperative impairment.
