Developing a new tool for scoliosis screening in a tertiary specialistic setting using artificial intelligence: a retrospective study on 10,813 patients: 2023 SOSORT award winner.

Purpose: The study aims to assess if the angle of trunk rotation (ATR) in combination with other readily measurable clinical parameters allows for effective non-invasive scoliosis screening.

Methods: We analysed 10,813 patients (4-18 years old) who underwent clinical and radiological evaluation for scoliosis in a tertiary clinic specialised in spinal deformities. We considered as predictors ATR, Prominence (mm), visible asymmetry of the waist, scapulae and shoulders, familiarity, sex, BMI, age, menarche, and localisation of the curve.

Measuring Quality of Life in Adults with Scoliosis: A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing SRS-22 and ISYQOL Questionnaires.

Idiopathic scoliosis is common in adulthood and can impact patients' physical and psychological health. The Scoliosis Research Society-22 Questionnaire (SRS-22) has been designed to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in idiopathic scoliosis, and it is the most used disease-specific outcome tool from adolescence to adulthood. More recently, the Italian Spine Youth Quality of Life (ISYQOL) international questionnaire was developed, which performs better than SRS-22 in adolescent spinal deformities.

How good is the diagnostic test accuracy of telehealth assessment for dementia and mild cognitive impairment? A Cochrane Review summary with commentary.

Background: It is estimated that 50% to 80% of people living with dementia worldwide remain undiagnosed and undocumented and have no access to care and treatment. Telehealth services can be utilized as one of the options to improve access to a diagnosis, especially for people living in rural areas or affected by COVID-19 containment measures.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of telehealth assessment for dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
