The Reliability and Concurrent Validity of the Scoliosis Research Society-22r Patient Questionnaire Compared With the Child Health Questionnaire-CF87 Patient Questionnaire for Adolescent Spinal Deformity

Abstract

In a spinal deformity population 8 to 18 years of age, the score distribution and reliability, internal consistency, and reproducibility of the SRS-22r were at least as good as the CHQ-CF87. The SRS-22r function, pain, and mental health domains were concurrently valid in comparison to relevant CHQ-CF87 domains, but the SRS-22r self-image and satisfaction/dissatisfaction domains were not, thereby providing health-related quality-of-life information not provided for by the CHQ-CF87.
