School screening allows for early detection and early treatment of scoliosis, with the purpose of reducing the number of patients requiring surgical treatment. Children between 10 and 14 years old are considered as good candidates for school screening tests of scoliosis. The purpose of the present study was to assess the epidemiological findings of idiopathic scoliosis in 11-year-old Korean adolescents.
A total of 37856 11-year-old adolescents were screened for scoliosis. There were 17110 girls and 20746 boys. Adolescents who were abnormal by Moire topography were subsequently assessed by standardized clinical and radiological examinations. A scoliotic curve was defined as 10° or more.
The prevalence of scoliosis was 0.19% and most of the curves were small (10° to 19°). The ratio of boys to girls was 1:5.5 overall. Sixty adolescents (84.5%) exhibited single curvature. Thoracolumbar curves were the most common type of curve identified, followed by thoracic and lumbar curves.
The prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis among 11-year-old Korean adolescents was 0.19%.
学校筛查有助于早期发现和治疗脊柱侧弯,以减少需要手术治疗的患者数量。10至14岁的儿童被认为是脊柱侧弯学校筛查测试的合适对象。本研究的目的是评估11岁韩国青少年特发性脊柱侧弯的流行病学调查结果。
对总共37856名11岁青少年进行了脊柱侧弯筛查。其中有17110名女孩和20746名男孩。通过云纹图检查异常的青少年随后接受了标准化的临床和放射学检查。脊柱侧弯曲线定义为10°或以上。
脊柱侧弯的患病率为0.19%,大多数曲线较小(10°至19°)。总体而言,男孩与女孩的比例为1:5.5。60名青少年(84.5%)表现为单一曲线。胸腰段曲线是最常见的曲线类型,其次是胸段和腰段曲线。
11岁韩国青少年特发性脊柱侧弯的患病率为0.19%。
