Study Notes
Risk Factors for Curve Progression in Scoliosis
- Young age at diagnosis, especially before 10 years old, increases the risk of curve progression
- Large curve magnitude ( Cobb angle ≥ 25° ) at diagnosis is associated with a higher risk of curve progression
- Rapid growth spurts during adolescence can lead to rapid curve progression
- Girls are more likely than boys to experience curve progression
- Family history of scoliosis is a risk factor for curve progression
- Certain genetic syndromes, such as Marfan syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, increase the risk of curve progression
