Correlation analysis between the pulmonary function test and the radiological parameters of the main right thoracic curve in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Scoliosis causes thoracic deformities, and it is necessary to assess these changes in pulmonary function test (PFT). To determine how measurements of spinal and thoracic cage deformities are related to pulmonary function. Seventy-two patients with main right thoracic curvature in adolescent idiopath...

Description
Summary:Scoliosis causes thoracic deformities, and it is necessary to assess these changes in pulmonary function test (PFT). To determine how measurements of spinal and thoracic cage deformities are related to pulmonary function. Seventy-two patients with main right thoracic curvature in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) underwent a PFT and a radiological parameter evaluation of spinal and thoracic cage deformities. Simple and multiple linear regressions were also used to note whether a combination of variables might better predict PFT values. Means were compared using the two-sample t test or one-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparison methods. Forced vital capacity (FVC)% predicted had significantly negative correlations with main thoracic curve Cobb (MT-Cobb) (R  = 0.648, p
