Study Design: Retrospective propensity score matching (PSM) study. Objective: To investigate the perioperative outcomes comparing adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and adult idiopathic scoliosis (AdIS) patients following posterior spinal fusion (PSF). Methods: 425 female AIS and AdIS patients who were operated (between January 2015 to March 2020) using a dual attending surgeon strategy were stratified into G1 (AIS aged 10-16 years old) and G2 (AdIS > 20 years old). PSM analysis with one-to-one, nearest neighbor matching technique with match tolerance of 0.001 was used to matched 357 AIS patients to 68 AdIS patients. Operation duration, intraoperative blood loss (IBL), blood loss percentage, hemoglobin drift, blood salvaged, postoperative wound length, allogenic blood transfusion requirement, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative Cobb, correction rate and postoperative complications were documented and reported. Results: Following PSM, G1 and G2 each had 50 patients with comparable and balanced covariates. As anticipated, G2 patients were heavier, taller and had higher body mass index compared to G1 patients (P < 0.05). We could not find any significant differences in the perioperative outcome comparing this 2 groups. AIS and AdIS patients had similar operation duration (125.9 +/- 27.2 min vs 127.3 +/- 37.8 min), IBL (749.8 +/- 315.7 ml vs 723.8 +/- 342.1 ml) and length of hospital stay (3.3 +/- 0.4 days vs 3.5 +/- 0.8 days) (P > 0.05). Hemoglobin drift and amount of blood salvaged were comparable (P > 0.05). G2 had stiffer curves. There was a trend toward a lower correction rate in G2 in the immediate postoperative period, however it did not reach statistical significance (61.8 +/- 11.2% vs. 66.3 +/- 11.6%, P = 0.051). No patients required blood transfusion and none had any postoperative complications. Conclusion: Adolescent and adult female scoliosis patients had comparable perioperative outcome following PSF surgery that was carried out using a dual attending surgeon strategy.
