The Setting Scoliosis Straight Foundation and Harms Study Group work together to support discoveries, and advance techniques, in the treatment of spinal deformities in children and adolescents worldwide.
The Database User Program (DUP) provides surgeons with a secure, web-based clinical registry modeled after one of the largest Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) databases. Designed to support both clinical research and continuous quality improvement, the DUP streamlines data collection through standardized research protocols and electronic case report forms for multiple spinal deformity conditions. Whether conducting single-site or multicenter studies, participants can efficiently collect, query, export, and analyze high-quality clinical data while maintaining complete ownership and control of their data.
In addition to serving as a research platform, the DUP transforms your data into meaningful insights through personalized dashboards and risk-adjusted benchmarking reports. Participants can monitor clinical outcomes, compare performance with peer institutions, identify opportunities for improvement, and generate data to support quality initiatives, hospital reporting, presentations, and peer-reviewed publications. The result is a comprehensive solution that advances both research productivity and evidence-based patient care.
