    • Worse prognosis with
      • if symptoms progress to the side of curve convexity
      • sagittal plane imbalance
        • sagittal plane balance is the most reliable predictor of clinical symptoms in adults with spinal deformity
    • Progression
      • depends on curve type
        • thoracic > lumbar > thoracolumbar > double major
        • right thoracic curves (1 degree per year)
        • right lumbar curves (0.5 degree per year)
        • thoracolumbar curves (0.25 degree per year)
      • depends on curve magnitude
        • curves <30 deg rarely progress
        • curves >50 deg commonly progress
      • additional risk factors for progression
        • increased risk when intercrestal line is below L4-5
        • preexisting rotational changes exist
