The Effect of Scoliosis Orthosis on the Reduction of Cobb Angle in Scoliosis Patients: A Meta-Analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Scoliosis is a spinal deformity that often occurs in adolescents with a prevalence of 0.47% -5.2% worldwide. The prevalence of scoliosis in Asia was about 2.25% of the population. In Surabaya, Indonesia, 6.37% of students from 784 schools who conducted scoliosis screening tests positively had scoliosis. In addition, 9 out of 300 students in Surakarta positively had scoliosis. This study aimed to estimate the effect of using scoliosis orthosis in reducingcobb angle in scoliosis patients by conducting a meta-analysis on theseveral similar articles.Subjects and Method: This study used a meta-analysis by systematically reviewing the several similar articles from PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The keywords were "scoliosis" AND "scoliosis orthosis" OR "scoliosis brace" AND "cobb angle" OR "curve" AND "randomized control trial". The intervention was the use of a scoliosis orthosis with a comparison of non-scoliosis orthosis and the scoliosis patients as the study subjects. The outcome of the study was a reduction of cobb angle. The included articles were full-text articles with a randomized controlled trial design that showed the effect size (mean and standard deviations). The articles were collected using PRISMA flow diagrams and analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application.Results: Based on a meta-analysis result of 9 randomized controlled trial articles from the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, and Hong Kong, scoliosis orthosis reduced cobb angle in scoliosis patients (SMD= -0.67; 95% CI= -1.02 to -0.33; p <0.001). The heterogeneity I2=75%.Conclusion: Scoliosis orthosis affects the reduction of cobb angle in scoliosis patients.Keywords: scoliosis, cobb angle, scoliosis orthosisCorrespondence: Dody Suprayogi.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
