The impact of posterior spinal fusion (PSF) on physical function and pain and mental health in pediatric patients as quantified by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), developed by the National Institute of Health, is largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to report the changes of PROMIS scores for upper extremity (UE), pain interference (PI), mobility (MOB), and peer relationships (PR) after PSF in patients with idiopathic scoliosis (IS), compare postoperative changes in PROMIS PI and Scoliosis Research Society-30 pain scores, and evaluate associations between curve characteristics and PROMIS scores.
