A Framework for Studying Healthcare Equity in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Scoping Review and Meta-Analysis of Existing Literature

CONCLUSION: These studies provide insight into healthcare inequities in AIS, although notable inconsistencies make it difficult to aggregate data and draw the conclusions needed to drive necessary public health changes. However, our proposed framework can provide a guideline for future prospective and retrospective studies to standardize data reporting and allow for improved collaboration, study design, and future systematic reviews and meta-analyses.PMID:37994490 | DOI:10.5435/JAAOS-D-23-00296
