Quality of Life, Psychosocial Burden, and Structural-functional Status in Adults With Spinal Deformity. (ASD-QoL)

4 de agosto de 2026 actualizado por: Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

This study examines which factors influence quality of life in adults with a spinal deformity. It looks at imaging findings together with pain, daily functioning, psychosocial factors, and frailty to support more person-centred care.

A total of 320 adults will participate in three groups: conservative treatment, first corrective surgery, or reoperation. All care follows standard practice; no experimental treatments are added. Participants complete questionnaires, and routine FASD tests and existing EOS/X-ray images may be used.

Follow-up lasts up to 2 years, with scheduled assessments depending on whether treatment is surgical or conservative.

Descripción detallada

This study investigates which factors are associated with quality of life in adults with a spinal deformity. Among patients with a comparable spinal alignment, pain, daily functioning, and quality of life can vary greatly. Therefore, the study examines not only the structural abnormality on medical imaging, but also pain, limitations in daily functioning, anxiety and low mood, fear of movement, concern about falling, participation in daily life, and overall frailty. The results may contribute to a more person-centred assessment and treatment of adults with a spinal deformity.

A total of 320 adults with a spinal deformity will be included. The study compares three groups: patients treated conservatively, patients undergoing a first corrective surgery, and patients undergoing a reoperation. Treatment is entirely determined by the regular care team; the study does not add any experimental intervention. Participants complete questionnaires on quality of life, back symptoms, functioning, and psychosocial well-being. Where applicable, the Function Assessment Scale for Spinal Deformity (FASD) is administered, a functional movement test that is part of standard care. Available EOS or X-ray images from routine care are used; no additional images are taken solely for the study.

Follow-up lasts up to 2 years. For surgically treated participants, assessments may take place at surgery and around 6 weeks, 4 months, 1 year, and 2 years post-operatively. Conservatively treated participants are assessed at baseline and, where appropriate within routine care, around 1 and 2 years.

Periodo de tiempo
Cross-sectional associations in QoL between conservative, primary surgery, and revision surgery study groups.
Periodo de tiempo: within a period of 2 year
QoL is measured using the SRS-22r questionnaire during screening visit, at 6-weeks, 4 months, 1 year and 2 year.For Scoliosis Research Society 22 Revised (SRS-22r) questionaire a patient reported measure of health related quality of life in individuals with scoliosis. PROM assessing five domains: Function/Activity, Pain, Self image/Appearance, Mental Health, Satisfaction with Management. The mean score is located between 5 (Best) and 1 (Worst).
within a period of 2 year
Cross sectional associations in QoL between conservative, primary surgery, and revision surgery study groups.
Periodo de tiempo: Withing 2 years
QoL is measured using EQ-5D-5L questionnaire questionnaire during screening visit, at 6-weeks, 4 months, 1 year and 2 year The EuroQol 5 Dimension 5 Level(EQ-5D-5L) include 5-digit health profile: Mobility, Self Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, Anxiety/Depression converting it to an index value using the country-specific value set (range -0.59 to 1.0). EQ-5D-5L score expresses health status as a utility value ranging from <0 (worse than death) to 1 (full health). Higher values indicate better overall health.
Withing 2 years
Cross sectional associations in QoL between conservative, primary surgery, and revision surgery study groups.
Periodo de tiempo: Withing 2 years
QoL is measured using VAS questionnaire during screening visit, at 6-weeks, 4 months, 1 year and 2 year The Visual Anlog Score (VAS) - ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 means "worst imaginable health" and 100 means "best imaginable health." A higher VAS score reflects better self perceived health.
Withing 2 years
Cross sectional associations in QoL between conservative, primary surgery, and revision surgery study groups.
Periodo de tiempo: Withing 2 years
QoL in non-revision ASD patients, adjusted for structural deformity severity, demographic characteristics, treatment pathway, and frailty-related health status. Structural covariates include Sagittal Vertical Axis(SVA), Pelvic tilt(PT), Pelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis mismatch (PI-LL) mismatch, and coronal Cobb angle. Frailty-related health status will be measured using the mFI-5. The modified 5-item frailty index (mFI-5) which assesses five clinical deficits: diabetes, hypertension, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and functional dependence. Each deficit is scored as 0 (absent) or 1 (present). The unit of measure is the total frailty score ranging from 0 to 5, where higher scores indicate greater frailty.
