2 INTRODUCTION In Adult Spinal Deformity (ASD), symptoms severity increases in a linear fashion following posifve balance. (Glassman et al. Spine, 2005) Many radiologic parameters were reported. (PI, PT, LL, SS, SVA, LLI, GT ) In recent literature clinico- radiologic correlafon Mandatory to validate a parameter Tends to homogenize ASD whereas issues are varied

3 Literature Review Classifica0on SRS- Schwab des déforma0ons rachidiennes (Schwab et al, Spine 2012) SVA, PT, PI- LL ó Correlate with ODI

4 But SVA can t explain ASD ASD Pain Malalignment The rela0onship between Spinal Deformity malalignment and pain remains: Complex Difficult to generalize

5 Aims 1 / Valid the clinico- radiologic correlafon for Global Tilt and Lumbar Lordosis Index 2 / Understand how radiographic parameters impact ASD management and understanding

6 Material & Methods European Spine Study Group (ESSG) database } 6 European centers Ankara, Barcelone, Bordeaux, Istanbul, Madrid, Zurich } Since 2011 } 755 included pa0ents (with complete data on July 2014) } 613 women / 142 men } 431 non surgical candidates / 324 surgical candidates } Mean Age 52.1 (± 18.8)

7 Methods } Analyzed Variables } Dependent variables: HRQL scores } Demographic variables (DV): age, BMI, diagnosis, past spinal surgery, surgical vs non surgical candidates, coronal curve types } Radiographic parameters: SVA, GT, T1PA, T1ST, PT, PI- LL, LLI } Sta0s0c Analysis } ANOVAs differences in HRQLs among groups of DV } Spearman correla0on between radiographic parameters and HRQLs } MulFvariate linear regression models for each of the HRQLs with sagijal parameters and DV as independent variables } P<0.05 considered sta0s0cally significant

12 } More a parameter is related to severe malalignment and more its univariate correla0on will be important = Best Parameter?? } Useless adding- up compensatory mechanism to obtain an important correla0on factor with HRQL scores

13 No radiographic parameter explains more than 2% ODI variance independently Summing up more than one parameter doesn t impact more ODI variance Specific Radiographic parameters are mandatory to answer specific quesfons

14 Global Tilt Interest Understand balance when SVA and PT seem opposite Ø Nega0ve SVA Ø Important PT Ø GT increase => Anterior Malalignment Obeid et al. Eurospine, 2014

15 Lumbar Lordosis Index Interest Assess LL lack when malalignment is due to a LL issue (Boissière et al. Eur Spine Journal, 2013) Most correlated parameter with LL lack (Boissière et al. Eur Spine Journal, 2014)
