TI  - Reliability and validity of a kyphosis-specific spinal appearance questionnaire.

AB  - PURPOSE: Hyperkyphosis, including Scheuermann and postural kyphosis, is 
      associated with decreased perceived cosmesis and well being. No patient reported 
      outcome questionnaire specific to kyphosis exists. We sought to assess the 
      internal consistency, test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of a new 
      Kyphosis-specific Spinal Appearance Questionnaire (K-SAQ). METHODS: A K-SAQ was 
      developed from a modified SAQ to measure kyphosis-specific aspects of appearance. 
      Patients with hyperkyphosis (ages 10-20 years) curves >/= 50 degrees  completed the K-SAQ 
      and SRS-22R at baseline and the K-SAQ 2 weeks later. RESULTS: 55 patients 
      completed the K-SAQ and SRS-22R. 28 patients completed the K-SAQ 2 weeks later. 
      The K-SAQ total averages showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's 
      alpha = 0.91) and test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.84). Moderate associations were 
      seen between the SRS-22R subtotal average score and K-SAQ total average score and 
      (r = - 0.62, p < 0.001) and the SRS-22R self-image domain with the K-SAQ total 
      average score (r = - 0.57, p < 0.001). Higher BMI and increased age scored worse 
      on the K-SAQ total average, whereas only higher BMI scored worse on the SRS-22R 
      subtotal average. CONCLUSION: The K-SAQ is a reliable patient reported outcome 
      measure of kyphosis-specific aspects of appearance.
