“…In general, spinal deformities lead to psychological, cosmetic and therapeutic problems and above all affect the quality of life of these scoliotic children and their families. [ 43 44 ] These children are marginalised in our community. This has an impact on school results, absenteeism and sometimes school dropouts.…”

Introduction: Scoliosis is the most frequent spine deformity in children. Epidemiological data are available in Western countries due to the systematic screening policies implemented at school. Unfortunately, in our country, there are neither national data nor screening policy for scoliosis. Are the epidemiological and diagnostic characteristics of scoliosis in our practice similar to the data in the literature? Patients and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 106 medical records of patients under 19 years old between 2010 and 2019 at the 'Vivre Debout' Centre for structural scoliosis confirmed by spine X-ray with a Cobb angle ≥10°. The epidemiological and diagnostic characteristics were noted. The data were treated with Excel 2010. Results: The mean frequency of scoliosis was 10 cases/year. The male-to-female sex ratio was 1:1.3. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.2 ± 2.13 years. There was a family history of scoliosis in two cases (1.8%). Twenty-four girls (39.3%) out of 61 had had menarche at the time of diagnosis. The mean time from noticing deformity to consultation was 17.9 ± 21.9 months. Lateral deviation of the spine ( n = 77; 72.6%), hump ( n = 12; 11.3%) and pain ( n = 3; 2.8%) were the main complaints for consultation. In 14 cases (13.2%), the discovery was fortuitous during a medical examination for another complaint. The curvature was single in 88 cases (83%) and double in 18 (17%). The convexity was right in 69 cases (65.1%) and left in 37 (34.9%). Curvatures were thoracic ( n = 57; 53.8%), lumbar ( n = 10; 9.4%) and thoracolumbar ( n = 39; 36.8%). The average Cobb angle was 35.2° ±10.71° (range: 11°–90°). Curvatures were moderate (20°–40°) in 49 cases (46.2) and severe (>40°) in 18 (17%). The aetiologies were predominated by idiopathic causes ( n = 79; 74.5%), followed by congenital ( n = 16; 15.1%) and neuromuscular ( n = 11; 10.4%) causes. Conclusion: Scoliosis is uncommon in our practice. It is characterised by single curvature. The predominance of moderate and severe curvatures was due to delayed consultation.

“…The cognition and sensation of deformity with IS should be considered cautiously, for the best treatment methods can be applied to reduce the spine curvature or stop the progression of IS [ 39 , 40 ]. Having good cognition help students redress their bad habits and took corrective measures initiatively.…”

Background Idiopathic scoliosis (IS) affects patients’ quality of life, yet there have been few reports of its morphology and epidemiological study in the southeast region of China. The aim of this study is to access the curve characteristics, prevalence, and factors associated with IS in Chaozhou city. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed in 2018, in which scoliosis screening was conducted among 5497 primary school students in Chaozhou city. Then, a case-control study based on the screening involving 2547 children was followed for the exploration of the associated factors. The questionnaires covering demographic characteristics, postural habits, cognition and self-sensation of scoliosis, and physical conditions were addressed for the investigation. ORs with 95%CIs were calculated based on logistic regression analysis to evaluate the factors associated with scoliosis. Results The prevalence of IS among primary school students was 6.15% in Chaozhou city, with 4.04% for males and 8.71% for females. The average Cobb angle was 15° (range 8 to 37°). Multiple logistic regression analysis suggested that female (OR=2.45), BMI (OR=0.67), having myopia (OR=1.49), self-sensation of scoliosis with symptoms (OR=5.52), insufficient sleep time (OR=2.65, 3.33), and less exercise time (OR=7.09, 7.29) were significantly associated with IS. Conclusions The prevalence of IS among primary school students in Chaozhou was at an average level, and it was significantly higher in females than in males. Lower body mass, having myopia, insufficient sleep time, and lower physical activity were associated with IS.

“…In contrast to the compared studies [19,20,25,26], where FTRB was the only treatment, in our study population continuous PSSE, supervised at regular intervals, was standard of care, as in a short-term follow-up study [27] (satisfaction with treatment MS 3.9). In addition to the positive impact of PSSE on the effectiveness of the treatment described elsewhere [8][9][10], PSSE might also lead to higher satisfaction with the treatment [8].…”

Health related quality of life and perception of deformity in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis

Abstract: In addition to radiographic assessments, quality of life, aesthetic perception, functionality, satisfaction with management, psycho-social status should carefully be taken into consideration by health professionals in the teratment of AIS.
