Although scoliosis is commonly seen in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome, the patterns and extent of the deformity may change along their growth. Increased body weight is another issue in these patients, and its relationship with scoliosis is still controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate scoliosis in patients with PWS, and its relationship with BMI. This was a retrospective cohort study in which a series of radiographic images and BMI from each patient were collected, and the data were rearranged following the age at which they were recorded. These patients were subsequently labeled as non-Scoliotic (<10°), Moderate (10° - 39°), and Severe (≥40°) according to their final Cobb angle, also as Normal (≤85%), Overweight (86%-95%), and Obese (≥95%) according to final BMI percentage. Thirty-four patients with age from 1 to 20 years old were recruited for this study, and the mean length of follow-up was 6.6 years. The prevalence of scoliosis was 71% (24 patients in Moderate, and 9 patients in Severe), and 65.6% were either overweight (11 patients) or obese (10 patients). The mean BMI percentage in non-scoliotic patients was 93.10 ± 13.84, which was significantly higher than that of the scoliotic groups ( P = 0.0180). When looking at the longitudinal change, the non-Scoliotic group had high BMI since childhood, and obese patients had less spine deformity also from early childhood. In this study, we found that the prevalence of scoliosis in Taiwanese population with PWS was 71% without gender preference. Not every patient had a high BMI, and obese patients seemed to have significantly less chance to develop scoliosis. Level III., (Copyright © 2022 The Author(s).
