- Abstract: Background: The progression of scoliosis has been observed in skeletally mature patients with cerebral palsy (CP). The aims of this systematic review were to determine the incidence of curve progression of untreated scoliosis after skeletal maturity, to estimate the average annual increase and to identify factors that influence the progression. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library for original research articles published between 1968 and May 2024 with a retrospective, prospective or cross-sectional design, investigating CP patients that were followed up beyond the age of 15 years. The search was limited to articles in English, French, German and Dutch. Articles were excluded if the study population concerned neuromuscular diseases other than CP. After an assessment of the methodological quality of each study, estimates of annual curve progression and the effect of the investigated risk factors for progression were recorded systematically and synthetized. Results: Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, resulting in a total sample size of 2569 participants. The study populations of the included original research articles were small and heterogeneous in terms of patient age and the type and severity of CP. Curve progression after skeletal maturity occurred in all included studies. A greater curve magnitude at the end of adolescence and a severe motor deficit (an inability to walk or GMFCS IV-V) were identified as significant risk factors for the progression of scoliosis after skeletal maturity. If at least one of these risk factors was present, scoliotic curves progressed after skeletal maturity in up to 74% of patients, with an average annual increase of 1.4 to 3.5 degrees per year. No significant association was found between curve progression and the physiologic type of CP, the type of scoliotic curve, previous hip surgery, positioning and gravity, weight and length, sex, epilepsy, or pelvic obliquity. Findings on the effect of hip instability were inconsistent: a positive correlation was found with the progression of scoliosis overall, but not after skeletal maturity in particular. A significant selection bias should be considered in the calculation of average annual curve progression, as patients that received interventions to halt curve progression were excluded from follow-up. Conclusions: The identification of risk factors in patients with CP and scoliosis can aid in predicting curve progression and managing follow-ups in clinical practice. Based on the findings in this review a radiographic follow-up once every 3 years is recommended for skeletally mature CP patients with at least one risk factor, and once every 5 years if no risk factors are present.
