SUMMARY

Possibly the most relevant achievement of the Spine Research Unit during 2014 is that we won the Best Full Paper Award of Eurospine with the work entitled “Impact on health related quality of life of adult spinal deformity (ASD) compared with other chronic conditions”. Apart from that, the same work was nominated for the Hibbs Award of the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS).

Also during this year the Spine Research Unit was evaluated by SAB and ANEP and both results were very satisfactory. Last year, two new members were included in the research team.
