The goal is to establish a clinical baseline to optimize screening and surgical planning. Methods: A preliminary systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, WOS, and Cochrane Library identified 24 studies (n=2,793). Meta-analysis used the Inverse Variance method with a Restricted Maximum-Likelihood (REML) random-effects model. Statistical analysis was performed using R software version 4.3.2. Proportions were analyzed as untransformed values to maintain data integrity. Results: Among Single Curve Patterns, the pooled prevalence was: Thoracic 41.09% (n=2,713), Thoracolumbar 33.70% (n=2,689), and Lumbar 22.03% (n=2,305). For Multiple\/Complex Patterns, Double Major curves accounted for 30.26% (n=666) and Triple curves 7.44% (n=472). Gender analysis revealed a Female prevalence of 79.07% and a Male prevalence of 20.93% (ratio \u223c4:1). The cumulative prevalence exceeds 100% due to the independent meta-analytical modeling of each pattern, reflecting clinical overlaps where complex curves involve multiple regions. Conclusions: Thoracic and thoracolumbar patterns are the most frequent manifestations of AIS, with a consistent 4:1 female predominance. The overlapping prevalences underscore the complexity of classification and the urgent need for standardized reporting criteria to harmonize global epidemiological data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti260755","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T09:28:41Z","timestamp":1781515721000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Preliminary Results of the Prevalence of Scoliotic Curves and Gender Distribution in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: Meta-Analysis of Untransformed Proportions"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3180-336X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vanja","family":"Dimitrijevi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Functionally Aware Motoric Activity (FAMA) Center, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7065-8401","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nikola","family":"Jevti\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Scolio Centar, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia; njevticns@gmail.com"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9110-2103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bojan","family":"Ra\u0161kovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"},{"name":"Performance Zone, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-8868-2299","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samra","family":"Pjani\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physical Medicine, Rehabilitation and Orthopedic Surgery \u201cDr Miroslav Zotovi\u0107\u201d,78000 Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0251-8933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Borislav","family":"Obradovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sports and Physical Education, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Research into Spinal Deformities 12"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI260755","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]],"date-time":"2026-06-15T09:28:41Z","timestamp":1781515721000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI260755"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]]},"ISBN":["9781643686677"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti260755","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,15]]}}}
