Abstract

Results suggest that a BSMAS score of 24 is the optimal clinical cut-off score for future research that measure SMD and its impact on health among adolescents. Furthermore, criteria of "mood modification", "conflict", "withdrawal", and "relapse" are the most relevant to the diagnosis of SMA in Chinese adolescents.
