Quality of life measures including Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) and numerical back and leg pain scores were followed. The nonoperative patients did not improve during this time period and a non-significant decline in quality of life scores was common

Average curve correction with surgery was 26.6° (40.7% improvement) and mean total pre-op ODI was 41.2 with average postoperative reduction to 15.7 and mean pre-operative SRS-30 equivalent score was 97.1 with mean postoperative decrease of 23.1. There was 897 complications for 2175 patients (41.2%)and 319 pseudoarthroses (12.9%). Despite the lack of randomized prospective date, this review did conclude that surgery for adult scoliosis was associated with improvement in clinical outcomes and radiographic parameters at the at least two years follow-up

Increasing complication rates were noted with increasing age. When all age groups were examined together, significant improvement in outcomes were noted including ODI, SRS-22, back pain, and leg pain at 2 year follow-up. Improvement in ODI and leg pain were significantly greater amongst elderly patients with greater improvement in SS12 and SRS-22 when compared to younger patients. This study demonstrates the potential benefit for surgical treatment for adult scoliosis and suggests that despite having greater risk for complications, the elderly may obtain greater improvement of disability and pain with surgical reconstruction

They found a high level of evidence to support the use antifibrinolytic medications to reduced blood loss and the need for transfusion during and after adult spine surgery. The use of CellSaver, Recumbent Factor VIIa, activated growth factor platelet gel, and normovolemic hemodilution were all evaluated as methods to prevent blood loss and were found to have very low evidence to support their efficacy
