Abstract
Adult spinal deformity (ASD) may be classified as idiopathic (ID) or degenerative (DD) (or other) based on classifier's perception, the reliability of and factors inherent to which remain unknown. The aim of this study is to evaluate the inter- and intra-observer reliability of surgeons' perception in differentiating ID from DD and to identify the determinants of this differentiation. From a multicentric prospective database of ASD, 179 patients were identified with the diagnosis of ID (n = 103) or DD (n = 76); without previous surgery; and a lumbar coronal curve larger than 20°. Standing antero-posterior and lateral X-rays of these patients were sent to five experienced spine surgeons to be identified as DD or ID (or other); followed by a second round after reshuffling. Weighted kappa statistics were used, the strength of agreement for the kappa coefficient was considered as; 0.81-1 = almost perfect, 0.61-0.8 = substantial, 0.41-0.60 = moderate, 0.21-0.40 = fair, 0.01-0.20 = slight, and ≤0 = poor. Patients were then stratified based on the number of agreements on a total of 10 rounds as excellent (10 out of 10), good (more than 7 out of 10) and fair/poor (7 and less). These excellent and good agreements were further compared f...Continue Reading
