NSP was associated with deterioration in SRS-22 scores, indicating that NSP is a clinically significant long-term issue in PSF for thoracic AIS. Restoring or maintaining the TK and T1 slopes, which are controllable factors during PSF, may improve cervical lordosis and alleviate NSP at 10-year follow-up.
