OBJECTIVEThe best predictors of height gain due to surgical correction are the number of fused vertebrae and the degrees of the corrected Cobb angle. Existing studies of predictive models measured the radiographic spinal height and did not report the clinical height gain. The aims of this study were to determine the best predictive factors of clinical height gain before surgical correction, construct a predictive model using patient population data for machine learning, and test the performance of this model on a validation population.METHODSThe authors reviewed 145 medical records of consecutive patients who underwent surgery that included placement of posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion for idiopathic scoliosis between 2012 and 2016. Standing and sitting clinical heights were measured before and after surgery in patients who had been surgically treated under similar conditions. Multivariate analysis was then performed and the results were used to develop a predictive model for height gain after surgery. The data from the included patients were randomly assigned to a learning set or a test set.RESULTSIn total, 116 patients were included in the analysis, for whom the average postoperative clinical height gain in a standing position was 4.2 ± 1.8 cm (range 0–11 cm). The best prediction model was calculated as follows: standing clinical height gain (cm) = 1 − 0.023 × sitting clinical height (cm) − 0.19 × Risser stage + 0.058 × Cobb preoperative angle (°) + 0.021 × T5–12 kyphosis (°) + 0.14 × number of levels fused. In the validation cohort, 91% of the predicted values had an error of less than one-half of the actual height gain.CONCLUSIONSThis predictive model formula for calculating the potential postoperative height gain after surgical treatment can be used preoperatively to inform idiopathic scoliosis patients of what outcomes they may expect from posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion (taking into account the model’s uncertainty).

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to evaluate the association between the dental arch dimensions and the incisal abnormalities or anomalies, to the consonant mis-articulations in children with unilateral cleft palate with the involvement of lip, before and after surgical correction.50 Non-syndromic children with unilateral cleft palate belonging to various experimental groups and 25 non-cleft children (control group) between the age group of 7-9 years were selected for the study. Dental arch dimensions were measured on the dental casts & the selected consonants were evaluated from all the four groups, by 3 qualified speech pathologists and then statistically analyzed. Reduction in the dental arch dimensions was observed in children with untreated cleft palate which further decreased after surgery. The correct production of all the selected consonants /ta/, /da/, /tha/, /dha/, /na/, /na/, /la/, /sa/ and /sha/ which was observed to be 15% in the untreated CP group, improved upto 52.4% after surgical correction in spite of the reduction in the dental arch dimensions. Speech analysis showed a high percentage of distorted sounds were maximum in untreated CP patients which decreased in surgically treated CP patients. Substituted sounds which was found to be absent in untreated cleft palate patients was observed in children who had undergone surgical correction of the palate Conclusion: the reduced arch dimensions and incisal abnormalities may be contributing factors which do not allow 100% normal speech in children with oral clefts.
