Popis: BACKGROUND Cross-cultural studies on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) populations are limited. This study evaluated the discriminate validity of the Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (SRS-22) in Ghana between adolescents with and without AIS. SRS-22 outcomes from AIS and normal adolescents in Ghana were also compared with scores from AIS and normal adolescents in America. METHODS A retrospective review of preoperative SRS-22 questionnaires from Ghana and New York City was completed. In Ghana, 84 adolescents without scoliosis (healthy-G) (32 female adolescents; mean age, 13.3 y) and 61 patients with AIS (AIS-G) (76 female adolescents; mean age, 15.4 y) were administered with the SRS-22 questionnaire. From the New York City, 450 healthy adolescents (healthy-US) (279 female adolescents; mean age, 16 y) and 302 patients with AIS (AIS-US) (227 female adolescents; mean age, 14.9 y) also completed the SRS-22 questionnaire.
