A population-based study of scoliosis among males diagnosed with a dystrophinopathy identified by the Muscular Dystrophy Surveillance, Tracking, and Research Network (MD STARnet).

Our retrospective observational study suggests corticosteroids may delay spinal curvature progression and need for scoliosis surgery. Continuing corticosteroids after LoA also showed potential benefits of delaying curvature progression, additional studies are needed to confirm this finding or address the magnitude of benefit.
