Population

Scoliotic patients

Intervention

Method and formula for calculating height loss due to scoliosis in relation to the angulation of the primary curve

Outcome

Calculation of height loss and prediction of spirometric values

Provides a formula to correct body height measurements in scoliotic patients, which is useful for predicting spirometric values.
