Abstract

Background:. Longitudinal pulmonary outcomes after surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) are not well reported. This study aims to evaluate change in serial pulmonary function in children with EOS after surgery. Methods:. A retrospective review was performed at a single academic hospital. All patients who had surgical treatment of EOS and repeated pulmonary function test (PFT) data were included. Pulmonary function test (PFT) measures included forced vital capacity (FVC), FVC % of predicted norms (FVC%), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and FEV1% of predicted norms (FEV
