Abstract

We have read with great interest the article by Minsk et al. in Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders. However, the authors reported a conclusion that is based on possible selection bias in surgical candidates. Physicians are trained in the interpretation of scientific articles; however, not everybody is able to do this. Especially in open access journals, a biased conclusion may have big consequences and may be misleading for patients and family members who can read these articles for free on the internet.

我们饶有兴趣地阅读了明斯克等人发表在《脊柱侧弯与脊柱疾病》上的文章。然而，作者报告的结论是基于手术人选可能存在的选择偏差。医生都接受过解读科学文章的培训，但并非每个人都能做到这一点。特别是在开放获取期刊上，有偏见的结论可能会产生严重后果，并可能误导患者和家属，因为他们可以在互联网上免费阅读这些文章。

期刊介绍： Cessation.Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders is an open access, multidisciplinary journal that encompasses all aspects of research on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, outcomes and cost-analyses of conservative and surgical management of all spinal deformities and disorders. Both clinical and basic science reports form the cornerstone of the journal in its endeavour to provide original, primary studies as well as narrative/systematic reviews and meta-analyses to the academic community and beyond. Scoliosis and Spinal Disorders aims to provide an integrated and balanced view of cutting-edge spine research to further enhance effective collaboration among clinical spine specialists and scientists, and to ultimately improve patient outcomes based on an evidence-based spine care approach.
