Afwijkingen van de wervelkolom bij adolescenten : een epidemiologisch cohort onderzoek vanuit de jeugdgezondheidszorg
The rationale for the studies presented in this thesis was the whish to answer the question whether an extra scoliosis screening should be added to the two periodical medical examinations during adolescence. It was decided to use data collected in a prospective follow-up study conducted since 1984 to answer the following subquestions: 1. What is the prevalence of trunk abnormalities, including scoliosis and Scheuermann's disease? 2. What is the incidence of trunk abnormalities? 3. What ace the determinants of trunk abnormalities? 4. Are the current frequency of periodical medical examinations during adolescence, and the applied method of examining posture and back, adequate for early detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis? 5. Is it feasible to have scoliosis screening performed by school nurses? 6. What happens in the period between referral for scoliosis by the school physician and the onset of observation or treatment by the orthopedic surgeon?
