Scoliosis significantly impacts Quality of Life (QOL). Current quality of life questionnaires for adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) have limitations. A new questionnaire for measuring QOL in AIS called the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) has been developed to address these limitations but the English translation has not yet been validated. To determine the ceiling and floor effects, and the convergent validity of the ISYQOL questionnaire against established QOL questionnaires and Cobb angle in AIS. One hundred consecutive females with AIS, (10-18 years old), treated non-operatively. The English translation of the ISYQOL was compared to the following established questionnaires: Scoliosis Research Society-22r and the Spinal Appearance Questionnaire. The participants were 100 females (13.89+/-1.8 years) with 28.75+/-13.9° curve angles. The convergent validity of the ISYQOL score (60.3+/-12.44) was supported by significant correlation with the SRS-22r total score, function, pain, self-image, and mental health scores (r = 0.70, 0.54, 0.57, 0.52 and 0.50, respectively), and with the SAQ general, waist, and expectations domains (r = -0.6. -.52, and -0.56, respectively). Correlation with the Cobb angle was (r = -.37)(see Table 1). No ceiling effect was observed in the ISYQOL. Ceiling effects were observed for the SRS-22r and the SAQ. The ISYQOL demonstrated evidence of convergent validity. This study supports its suitability for QOL research in AIS. ISYQOL appears more likely to detect changes in evaluative studies than the SRS- 22r and the SAQ.
脊柱侧凸显著影响生活质量（QOL）。目前针对特发性脊柱侧凸（AIS）青少年的生活质量问卷存在局限性。为解决这些局限性，开发了一种新的用于测量 AIS 患者生活质量的问卷，称为意大利脊柱青年生活质量问卷（ISYQOL），但尚未对其英文翻译进行验证。目的是确定 ISYQOL 问卷的天花板和地板效应，以及与已建立的生活质量问卷和 AIS 中 Cobb 角的收敛效度。连续 100 例接受非手术治疗的 AIS 女性（10-18 岁）。将 ISYQOL 的英文翻译与以下已建立的问卷进行比较：Scoliosis Research Society-22r 和 Spinal Appearance Questionnaire。参与者为 100 名女性（13.89+/-1.8 岁），曲线角度为 28.75+/-13.9°。ISYQOL 评分的收敛效度（60.3+/-12.44）得到支持，与 SRS-22r 总分、功能、疼痛、自我形象和心理健康评分显著相关（r = 0.70、0.54、0.57、0.52 和 0.50），与 SAQ 一般、腰部和期望领域也显著相关（r = -0.6、-0.52 和-0.56）。与 Cobb 角的相关性为（r = -.37）（见表 1）。ISYQOL 未观察到天花板效应。SRS-22r 和 SAQ 观察到天花板效应。ISYQOL 具有收敛效度的证据。这项研究支持它在 AIS 生活质量研究中的适用性。ISYQOL 似乎比 SRS-22r 和 SAQ 更有可能在评估研究中检测到变化。
