Predicting pulmonary function using thoracic deformity parameters in early onset scoliosis patients. by Mattan R Orbach, Patrick J Cahill, Annalise Noelle Larson, Ron El-Hawary, Oscar H Mayer, Sriram Balasubramanian

“…<h4>Introduction</h4>Thoracospinal deformities in early onset scoliosis (EOS) patients often lead to thoracic insufficiency syndrome, in which respiration or lung growth is impaired. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are used to assess pulmonary deficits but are challenging to comply with for EOS patients, who typically are between 5 and 10 years old. …”
