Distinguishing risk of curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with bone microarchitecture phenotyping: a 6-year longitudinal study.
Low bone mineral density and impaired bone quality have been shown to be important prognostic factors for curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). There is no evidence-based integrative interpretation method to analyze high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) data in AIS. This study aimed to (1) utilize unsupervised machine learning to cluster bone microarchitecture phenotypes on HR-pQCT parameters in girls with AIS, (2) assess the phenotypes' risk of curve progression and progression to surgical threshold at skeletal maturity (primary cohort), and (3) investigate risk of curve progression in a separate cohort of girls with mild AIS whose curve severity did not reach bracing threshold at recruitment (secondary cohort). Patients were followed up prospectively for 6.22 ± 0.33 years in the primary cohort (n = 101). Three bone microarchitecture phenotypes were clustered by fuzzy C-means at time of peripubertal peak height velocity (PHV). Phenotype 1 had normal bone characteristics. Phenotype 2 was characterized by low bone volume and high cortical bone density, and phenotype 3 had low cortical and trabecular bone density and impaired trabecular microarchitecture. The difference in bone quality among the phenotypes was significant at peripubertal PHV and continued to skeletal maturity. Phenotype 3 had significantly increased risk of curve progression to surgical threshold at skeletal maturity (odd ratio [OR] = 4.88; 95% CI, 1.03-28.63). In the secondary cohort (n = 106), both phenotype 2 (adjusted OR = 5.39; 95% CI, 1.47-22.76) and phenotype 3 (adjusted OR = 3.67; 95% CI, 1.05-14.29) had increased risk of curve progression ≥6° with mean follow-up of 3.03 ± 0.16 years. In conclusion, 3 distinct bone microarchitecture phenotypes could be clustered by unsupervised machine learning on HR-pQCT-generated bone parameters at peripubertal PHV in AIS. The bone quality reflected by these phenotypes was found to have significant differentiating risk of curve progression and progression to surgical threshold at skeletal maturity in AIS.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR) publishes highly impactful original manuscripts, reviews, and special articles on basic, translational and clinical investigations relevant to the musculoskeletal system and mineral metabolism. Specifically, the journal is interested in original research on the biology and physiology of skeletal tissues, interdisciplinary research spanning the musculoskeletal and other systems, including but not limited to immunology, hematology, energy metabolism, cancer biology, and neurology, and systems biology topics using large scale “-omics” approaches. The journal welcomes clinical research on the pathophysiology, treatment and prevention of osteoporosis and fractures, as well as sarcopenia, disorders of bone and mineral metabolism, and rare or genetically determined bone diseases.
