Influence of socioeconomic deprivation and geographic disparities in the management of surgical adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a multicentric retrospective cohort in Northern France.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeFew data are available in the literature in Europe on the possible impact of social health inequalities on the therapeutic management of idiopathic scoliosis. This study aimed to determine whether the adolescent's care pathway in the French health system, affected by idiopathic scoliosis, from the stage of diagnosis to the postoperative stage, could be influenced by socio-economic deprivation.
methodsThis retrospective, multicenter study analyzed 883 patients with surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis between 2009 and 2019. The main clinical outcomes were the Cobb angle at first specialist consultation, brace compliance, the Cobb angle at surgery indication, the time to surgery, postoperative correction, and complications. A multiple linear regression model and multiple logistic regression model were performed to analyze the main outcomes according to the European Deprivation Index (EDI) and Scale Index.
resultsWith the exception of Cobb's angle at the first consultation (OR = 1.03 [1.01-1.04]) and on postoperative correction (OR = 0.997 [0.995-0.999]) socio-economic deprivation did not significantly influence the course of care of the adolescent operated on with idiopathic scoliosis.
conclusionThis study suggested the restricted influence of social deprivation on the management of surgical adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the French health system. It seems that deprivation occurs only before special therapeutic management, strengthening the importance of systematic screening. Further studies are needed to assess the impact of different socioeconomic factors on this pathology.
