Study summary

The aim of study: 1. To investigate the prevalence of scoliosis, other spinal deformities, myopia, and visual impairments in adolescents (aged 6-18) in Zhejiang Province.

2.To track 8-year dynamic changes in spinal curvature and analyze associations between scoliosis, vision disorders, and potential risk factors.

3.To deliver scoliosis health education during screenings.

4.To mitigate scoliosis progression through early detection and intervention.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis at their first clinic visit * Skeletally immature (Risser Sign 0-3) * Cobb angle between 11-40 degrees * Age between 6 and 17 Exclusion Criteria: * • Patients with scoliosis other than idiopathic, or with other musculoskeletal or neurodevelopmental conditions that might be responsible for the scoliosis * History of previous spine surgery or spinal injury * Tumor or malignant tumor in the spine * Leg length discrepancy more than 20 mm * Previous diagnosis or treatment of SDB more than 6 months ago * Plans to relocate within the next 24 months

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Scoliosis Curve Angle — Baseline, 24 months (±1 month), and 48 months (±1 month) after enrollment; data will be analyzed through study completion, up to 96 months.]
    A long standard standing whole spine radiograph will be used for measuring curve size in terms of Cobb angle according to the standard Cobb method
  • Angle of Trunk Rotation — Baseline, 24 months (±1 month), and 48 months (±1 month) after enrollment; data will be analyzed through study completion, up to 96 months.]
    In addition to spinal x-rays, a Scoliometer can also help monitor curve progression. The Scoliometer is an inclinometer that measures the asymmetries between the sides of the trunk by measuring axial rotation in degrees. Numerous studies have found a high correlation between trunk axial rotation (ATR) values and the Cobb angles.
