The school scoliosis screening programme at Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children, Dublin, has provided material for an ongoing prospective natural history study of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. An examination of the clinical course in 339 girls showed that observation of progression of at least 10 degrees, which occurred in 46 girls (13.6%), depended on the timing of diagnosis and related primarily to the child's position on her growth rate curve and her pubertal status, and much less to skeletal maturity as interpreted by iliac crest ossification or bone age. This has implications for the understanding of results in conservative management, screening programmes and natural history.
都柏林的圣母儿童医院脊柱侧凸筛查项目为青少年特发性脊柱侧凸的前瞻性自然史研究提供了资料。对 339 名女孩的临床病程进行检查发现，至少进展 10 度的观察（发生在 46 名女孩中，占 13.6%）取决于诊断时间，主要与孩子的生长速率曲线位置和青春期状态有关，而与髂嵴骨化或骨龄判断的骨骼成熟度关系不大。这对理解保守治疗、筛查计划和自然史的结果具有重要意义。
