Abstract
Introduction. Since the beginning of history of Medicine, it has been possible to learn from the worst and best results of treatments. Our aim was to verify which patients can reach the best and worst results during conservative treatment. Methods. All AIS patients with more than 2 visits included in a prospective clinical database started in September 2003 were reviewed on August 31st 2010. A cut-off of 20 degrees (improvement or worsening) from the first observation was used to select patients. Patients were analysed for diagnosis, morphology, Cobb degrees at start, curve improved/worsened, treatment, gender, Body Mass Index, clinical parameters. Results. Out of 1886 consecutive patients, 62 (3.3%) changed 20° or more: 26 (1.4%) improved (range 20-34°), 36 (1.9%) progressed (20-60°). Relative Risk of progression of 20° or more was increased more than 10 times in cases of thoracic curve or secondary scoliosis, 5 times for Moe scoliosis and BMI
