A correlation study between in-brace correction, compliance to spinal orthosis and health-related quality of life of patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis

Table 9 Cobb angle difference between Visit 1 (pre-brace) and Visit 2 on subjects who had different curve patterns adjusted for age and bracing hours (per log sheet)

Predictor	Regression coefficient	p value	95% C.I.
Curve pattern
Thoracic curves	5.40	0.002	(2.14, 8.66)
Thoracolumbar curves	0
Bracing hour	2.04	0.09	(−0.34, 4.43)
Age	0.44	0.54	(−0.99, 1.86)

Independent variables Risser sign and menarchal status were not included in the final model as they were not significant (p > 0.025).
