| Factor | Right Thoracotomy on the Convex Side of a High Thoracic Curve |
| Description | The surgical treatment of congenital heart disease is reported to be associated with a high prevalence of scoliosis, although the detailed etiology is unknown. Surgical interventions involving the rib cage are considered to increase the risk of scoliosis. However, whether the cardiac condition or the procedure performed makes patients more susceptible to the development of spinal deformity is controversial. |

| p Value | 0.039 |
| Conclusion | Surgery for the treatment of congenital heart disease during the first year of life was associated with a high prevalence of scoliosis (≥40%). While female sex was one of several predictors of ≥10° scoliosis, cardiomegaly was the sole predictor of ≥45° scoliosis. |
