Résumé
This was a retrospective observational study. The objective of the study was to evaluate the spinal and extraspinal factors responsible for pulmonary dysfunction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. Development of thoracic deformity due to scoliosis results with the restrictive ventilatory pattern and the reduced pulmonary function. To prevent pulmonary function deterioration, it is imperative to understand which factors are causing the restrictive lung disease in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients. An online database search was conducted in a hospital computerized archive between 2008 and 2018 years. Cobb angle of >30 degrees, Lenke type 1 and 2 patients treated in a single spine unit were included. Coronal and sagittal Cobb angle, bending correction rate for evaluation of flexibility, Risser score, apical vertebra rotation (AVR), and pulmonary function test of patients were obtained. There was a moderate negative correlation between forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity, and AVR. There was no correlation between forced expiratory volume in the first second and forced vital capacity with age, sex, Cobb angle, Risser score, kyphosis, and bending correction rate. When considering the results of the current study and the other studies in the literature there is not any strong correlation between the features of scoliotic curvature and respiratory functions. In the current study, 52 (72.22%) of 72 patients with moderate to severe scoliosis had mild to severe respiratory dysfunction. Considering the age-related physiological respiratory loss, to evaluate the necessity of surgical treatment in patients with moderate and severe scoliosis, especially in patients with high AVR, the respiratory functions of the patient should also be evaluated.

STUDY DESIGN
This was a retrospective observational study.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study was to evaluate the spinal and extraspinal factors responsible for pulmonary dysfunction in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.
SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA
Development of thoracic deformity due to scoliosis results with the restrictive ventilatory pattern and the reduced pulmonary function. To prevent pulmonary function deterioration, it is imperative to understand which factors are causing the restrictive lung disease in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
An online database search was conducted in a hospital computerized archive between 2008 and 2018 years. Cobb angle of >30 degrees, Lenke type 1 and 2 patients treated in a single spine unit were included. Coronal and sagittal Cobb angle, bending correction rate for evaluation of flexibility, Risser score, apical vertebra rotation (AVR), and pulmonary function test of patients were obtained.
RESULTS
There was a moderate negative correlation between forced expiratory volume in the first second, forced vital capacity, and AVR. There was no correlation between forced expiratory volume in the first second and forced vital capacity with age, sex, Cobb angle, Risser score, kyphosis, and bending correction rate.
CONCLUSIONS
When considering the results of the current study and the other studies in the literature there is not any strong correlation between the features of scoliotic curvature and respiratory functions. In the current study, 52 (72.22%) of 72 patients with moderate to severe scoliosis had mild to severe respiratory dysfunction. Considering the age-related physiological respiratory loss, to evaluate the necessity of surgical treatment in patients with moderate and severe scoliosis, especially in patients with high AVR, the respiratory functions of the patient should also be evaluated.
