XXXX and @entity191 : prevalence and associations with disease severity.

@entity1 @entity1635 @entity191 @entity179 @entity158 @entity85 @entity893
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: @entity191 ( @entity191 ) is a progressive @entity179 . @entity1 with @entity191 often present with abnormal posturing. PURPOSE: To investigate coronal @entity85 in @entity1 with @entity191 , and to evaluate the correlation between clinical features, coronal parameters related to spine alignment, and disease severity. STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. @entity1 SAMPLE: Eighty-nine @entity1 with @entity191 and 89 controls were included. OUTCOME MEASURES: A medical history was collected from the medical records. METHODS: This study was a prospective assessment of consecutive @entity1 with @entity191 . Clinical and demographic parameters were collected from medical records and outpatient interviews. Full-length standing anteroposterior and lateral spine radiographs were used to assess the spinal parameters. The threshold for @entity1635 was set at a 10   Cobb angle, and the curve type was classified using Schwab classification. RESULTS: A total of 178 @entity1 (89 in @entity191 and 89 in control groups) were included. @entity1635 was identified in 27 @entity1 (30%) and 22 controls (p=.502). However, coronal imbalance was more common in @entity1 with @entity191 than in controls (11 vs. 0 @entity1 , p=.001). @entity1635 was more common in @entity1 than in @entity1 (male:female=8:19, p=.04). Back @entity158 was more common in @entity1 with @entity1635 than in those without @entity1635 (14 of 27 vs. 17 of 62, p=.036). Schwab Type IV (thoracolumbar major) was the most common type of @entity1635 in @entity1 with @entity191 and Type V (lumbar major) was the most common type in controls. With adjustment for @entity1 age and gender, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that severity of @entity191 (Unified @entity191 Rating Scale, p=.037) and magnitude of global @entity893 (p=.003) were associated with the @entity1635 Cobb angle (p=.037, B=0.139). Direction of @entity1635 and side of global @entity893 were not significantly correlated with the laterality of predominant @entity191 symptoms (p>.05). CONCLUSIONS: Global @entity893 is more prevalent in @entity1 with @entity191 than in controls. Greater severity of @entity191 was significantly associated with greater magnitude of @entity1635 Cobb angle, even after adjusting for the effects of @entity1 age and gender. However, direction of @entity1635 and side of global @entity893 were not significantly associated with the dominant laterality of @entity191 symptoms.
