Although lumbosacral orthosis (LSO) is designed to correct single thoracolumbar or lumbar (TL/L) curves, its effectiveness remains underexplored. This novel article aims to compare the effectiveness of LSO with TLSO in treating AIS with main TL/L curves. Methods This prospective controlled cohort study enrolled patients with AIS with main TL/L curves and minor thoracic curves who were treated with either TLSO or LSO. Demographic and radiographic data were compared between the two groups. Treatment outcomes were also assessed. Risk factors for minor curve progression were identified, and a cut-off value was determined within the LSO group. Results Overall, 82 patients were recruited, including 44 in the TLSO group and 38 in the LSO group. The initial TL/L curves showed no difference between both groups. However, the baseline thoracic curves were significantly larger in the TLSO group compared to the LSO group (25.98° ± 7.47° vs. 18.71° ± 5.95°, P < 0.001). At the last follow-up, LSO demonstrated similar effectiveness to TLSO in treating TL/L curves but was less effective for thoracic curves. The initial magnitude of thoracic curves was identified as a risk factor for minor curve outcomes in the LSO group. The ROC curve analysis determined a cut-off value of 21° for thoracic curves to predict treatment outcomes. Discussion In contrast to TLSO, LSO exhibits comparable effectiveness in treating main TL/L curves, making it a viable clinical option; however, it is less effective for thoracic minor curves. The initial magnitude of the minor thoracic curves may guide the selection of the appropriate brace type for patients with AIS with main TL/L curves.","PeriodicalId":510143,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Pediatrics","volume":"23 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140753490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is typically asymptomatic but can occasionally lead to life-threatening and serious complications. Case description We present a case of a right atrial aneurysm in an eight-year-old child who experienced complications including rupture of the atrial aneurysm, thrombosis, and recurrent large pericardial effusions over a one-month period. Following surgical treatment, the child had a favorable prognosis. Conclusion A congenital right atrial aneurysm may manifest as either a widespread enlargement of the right atrium or a localized, smaller sac-like protrusion. In the latter case, diagnosis can be challenging to confirm through transthoracic echocardiography alone, and may require a cardiac computed tomography angiography examination for a definitive diagnosis. For patients experiencing recurrent large volumes of bloody pericardial effusion within one month, and exhibiting no atrial enlargement but showing abnormalities of the atrial wall in echocardiography, it is important to be vigilant about the potential for atrial aneurysm rupture in the heart. Timely treatment is essential to prevent the progression of the condition, which could otherwise result in a poor prognosis.","PeriodicalId":510143,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Pediatrics","volume":"39 19","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods The correlation of these variables with the prognosis and recurrence risks was analyzed by binary and multivariate logistic regression. Besides, a nomogram was constructed based on the multivariate logistic regression calculation. After the model was verified by the C-statistic, the ROC curve was plotted to evaluate the sensitivity of the model. Finally, the decision curve analysis (DCA) was conducted to estimate the clinical benefits and losses of intervention measures under a series of risk thresholds. Results Preoperative automated peritoneal dialysis (APD), preoperative urinary tract infection (UTI), preoperative renal parenchymal thickness (RPT), Mayo adhesive probability (MAP) score, and surgeon proficiency were the high-risk factors for the prognosis and recurrence of UPJO. In addition, a nomogram was constructed based on the above 5 variables. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.8831 after self cross-validation, which validated that the specificity of the model was favorable. Conclusion The column chart constructed by five factors has good predictive ability for the prognosis and recurrence of UPJO, which may provide more reasonable guidance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this disease.","PeriodicalId":510143,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Pediatrics","volume":"31 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140752604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
