Current study aims to investigate podiatric risk factors for AIS in flatfoot patients and evaluates the efficacy of comfort nursing on postoperative nausea and vomiting following corrective surgery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method<\/jats:title>\n \n A two-phase study was conducted. First, 193 flatfoot patients were categorized into AIS (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009144) and non-AIS (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200949) groups to analyze risk factors via logistic regression. Second, the AIS patients undergoing PCS were randomized into a control group (routine care,\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200972) and a comfort nursing (CN) group (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u200972). The incidence, frequency, and severity of PONV, vital signs, medication use, and recovery outcomes were compared.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Age, hallux valgus angle asymmetry (\n \u0394<\/jats:italic>\n HVA), and Meary's angle asymmetry (\n \u0394<\/jats:italic>\n MA) were identified as independent risk factors for AIS in flatfoot patients. The CN group exhibited a significantly lower incidence of PONV [13\/72 (18.06%) vs. 35\/72 (48.61%)] and lower frequency of episodes compared to the control group (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). The CN intervention also resulted in significantly reduced pain VAS scores, improved vital signs (temperature and urine output), less severe PONV-related symptoms, decreased antiemetic use, and enhanced overall recovery and patient satisfaction (all\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Asymmetric foot morphology (\n \u0394<\/jats:italic>\n HVA and\n \u0394<\/jats:italic>\n MA) is a significant risk factor for AIS in adolescents with flatfoot. Implementing a multidimensional comfort nursing protocol effectively mitigates PONV, alleviates discomfort, and promotes postoperative recovery after PCS, suggesting that this approach could represent a valuable strategy for improving clinical outcomes in similar settings.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2025.1696612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,3]],"date-time":"2025-12-03T06:40:14Z","timestamp":1764744014000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Risk factors and postoperative comfort nursing in adolescents with flatfoot complicated by idiopathic scoliosis"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Suzhen","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meiya","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaofang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"269","DOI":"10.1016\/j.fcl.2020.02.002","article-title":"Treatment of stage 4 flatfoot","volume":"25","author":"Heyes","year":"2020","journal-title":"Foot Ankle Clin"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"255","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-012-1884-4","article-title":"Change in flatfoot of preschool-aged children: a 1-year follow-up study","volume":"172","author":"Chen","year":"2013","journal-title":"Eur J Pediatr"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"441","DOI":"10.1007\/s00296-023-05439-7","article-title":"Exercise programs for scoliosis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a randomized-controlled study","volume":"44","author":"Kisa","year":"2024","journal-title":"Rheumatol Int"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8247","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19148247","article-title":"Risk factors of flatfoot in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"19","author":"Xu","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"555","DOI":"10.5435\/jaaos-d-14-00416","article-title":"Nonsurgical management of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis","volume":"24","author":"Gomez","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Am Acad Orthop Surg"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"19","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-D-14-00416","article-title":"Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: common questions and answers","volume":"101","author":"Kuznia","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am Fam Physician"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"483","DOI":"10.1097\/cm9.0000000000000652","article-title":"Research progress on the etiology and pathogenesis of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis","volume":"133","author":"Peng","year":"2020","journal-title":"Chin Med J (Engl)"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e582","DOI":"10.5546\/aap.2018.eng.e582","article-title":"Effects of corrective, therapeutic exercise techniques on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
