N2 - Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and risk factors for the development and rate of progression of scoliosis and moderate/severe scoliosis in patients undergoing cardiothoracic operations (CTOs). Methods: Included were patients aged younger than 12 years who underwent CTOs in 1995 to 2006 with a preoperative chest roentgenogram (CRG) and a CRG at least 8 years after CTOs. Scoliosis and moderate/severe scoliosis were defined as a Cobb angle of 10 degrees or more and an angle of 25 degrees or more or the need for surgical intervention, respectively. Risk factors were analyzed using nonparametric and parametric survival analyses. For patients that developed scoliosis, progression rate was analyzed using linear regression models for repeated measures using CRG at 6-month intervals. Results: The study included 871 patients (380 girls [44%]). Median CRG follow-up was 11 years (interquartile range, 9 to 13 years). Overall 10-year incidence of scoliosis and moderate/severe scoliosis was 12% and 3%, respectively. Independent predictors for scoliosis included female sex (hazard ratio [HR], 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2 to 2.5), syndrome (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.8), and isolated developmental delay (HR, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4 to 4.2). For development of moderate/severe scoliosis, independent risk factors included female sex (HR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.4 to 5.8), syndrome (HR, 3; 95% CI, 1.5 to 6.1), isolated developmental delay (HR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1 to 9.2]), and prematurity for neonates/infants (HR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1 to 5.2). Rate of angle progression was 0.17 times the current angle per year. Age, syndrome, and developmental delay were risk factors for angle progression. Conclusions: Patients that undergo pediatric CTO, regardless of the operative approach, are at increased risk for development of scoliosis and moderate/severe scoliosis. Long-term follow-up of these patients is warranted, in particular for girls and patients with genetic syndromes or developmental delay.
