Validation of the Korean Version of the 24-Item Early-Onset Scoliosis Questionnaire: A Multicenter Study from the Korean Research Society of Spinal Deformity.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A 24-item early-onset scoliosis questionnaire (EOSQ-24) has been developed as a valid tool for assessing the physical and emotional function of patients with early-onset scoliosis (EOS). Previous studies that conducted transcultural adaptation of the original EOSQ-24 into other languages have demonstrated the high reliability of the questionnaire. However, a Korean version of the EOSQ-24 is not available, limiting optimal patient assessment in this nation. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop and validate a Korean version of EOSQ-24.

Methods

The original English version of the EOSQ-24 was cross-culturally adapted following standard guidelines. The final version of the Korean EOSQ-24 was prospectively applied to a group of patients who were native Korean
