This study examined the prevalence of sex-stratified outcomes in pain reporting following SF for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic database review was conducted in accordance with a pre-registered protocol to identify studies (January 2015\u2013January 2025) evaluating pain management in pediatric posterior spinal fusion. Eligible studies reported sex-stratified outcomes related to pain scores, reporting frequency, or management modalities.

Twenty studies disaggregated pain scores by sex, 23 reported sex-specific pain management, and only two reported both. Several studies identified greater pain burden and chronic postoperative pain in females, whereas others found no sex differences. Some studies reported higher opioid or benzodiazepine use among males, while others demonstrated prolonged postoperative opioid use in females. Eleven studies reported no differences. Heterogeneity in pain assessment tools and analgesic regimens limited comparability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sex-stratified outcomes remain under-reported and inconsistently analyzed in AIS patients undergoing SF. Only 20% of studies provided sex-specific outcomes, and fewer reported both pain score and pain management data.
