Detailed Description

All patients who applied to the orthopedics and traumatology department between July 2017 and June 2018 for a medical board examination were evaluated by physical and radiological examination. According to the Cobb method, individuals with a Cobb angle greater than 10° were diagnosed with Idiopathic Scoliosis. In the same period, healthy individuals who applied for the same examination and met the inclusion criteria were determined as the control group by random sampling method. All participants were evaluated by a senior psychiatrist. Before the interview, all subjects fully informed about the purpose and scope of the study. After their permission was obtained the study and control groups completed a socio-demographic data form consisting of questions about detailed personal and medical history and, the participants were asked to fill in the TCI.

Radiation: X-ray radiograghy
Cobb angles of the patient and control groups were determined by using X-Ray radiography used in the radiological examination routinely applied to the individuals who applied for the health board examination.
