    Thoracic Scoliosis Screening in Adolescent Patients with Chest Radiographs
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Eksi, Murat Sakir; Eksi, Emel Ece Ozcan
    Aim: School scoliosis screening programs (SSSPs) are valuable and common tools to depict scoliosis prevalence and to take appropriate measures to prevent scoliosis. Prevalence of small angle scoliosis (10-20 degrees) could be underestimated via SSSPs due to inter-rater variability of the physical examination after which possible candidates are sent to radiographic work-up. In this study, we aimed to detect the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis in adolescent patients via analysis of posteroanterior chest radiographs. Methods: Adolescent patients, who had been admitted for reasons other than spine and whose posteroanterior chest radiographs had been obtained, were included in the study. Demographics and chest radiographs were screened through picture archiving and communication system of the hospital. Results: Chest radiographs of 326 (163 female, 163 male) adolescents were evaluated (mean age: 15.54 +/- 2.12 years
