Study Design: Translation and validation of the Early Onset Scoliosis-24 Questionnaire (EOSQ-24).
Objective: To cross-culturally adapt the English version of the EOSQ-24 to the Dutch language and to assess the questionnaire's reliability and validity.
Summary Of Background Data: Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) has a profound impact on health-related quality of life. The EOSQ-24 is health-related quality of life questionnaire filled in by parents of children with EOS. The EOSQ-24 was already translated into multiple languages and its application was confirmed in clinical studies. However, the EOSQ-24 is not yet translated and validated for the Dutch population.
Methods: The adaption of the EOSQ-24 for the Dutch population was done in three steps: 1) translation to the Dutch language, 2) cross-cultural adaptation, and 3) cross-cultural validation. To ensure that the Adapted Dutch EOSQ-24 is applicable for clinical use, the measurement properties were tested in four steps: 1) floor and ceiling effects, 2) validation, 3) reliability, and 4) discriminative ability. One hundred three parents completed the Adapted Dutch EOSQ-24, the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-28 PF), and the Scoliosis Research Society Questionnaire (SRS-22r). A second EOSQ-24 was completed for test-retest reproducibility.
Results: The EOSQ-24 was successfully translated, adapted, and validated for the Dutch language. Almost all response items showed a normal distribution. The EOSQ-24 showed excellent reliability (Cronbach α of 0.950). The EOSQ-24 was successfully validated against the CHQ-28-PF and the SRS-22r. Test-retest was excellent (ICC ≥ 0.8). Finally, The EOSQ-24 was found capable to discriminate patients with different curve severities (P = 0.003), diagnosis (P = 0.006), and ambulatory status (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: The current Dutch EOSQ-24 proved to be a valid and reliable quality of life assessment tool for patients with EOS. Currently, long follow-up studies using the EOSQ-24, including the Dutch EOSQ-24, are lacking and are needed to fully validate the EOSQ-24 for use in a clinical setting.
Level Of Evidence: 2.

Outcomes of Growth-Friendly Surgical Treatment of Early Onset Scoliosis in Children With Prune Belly Syndrome: A Preliminary Report.
J Pediatr Orthop
December 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor, MI.
Background: Prune belly syndrome (PBS) is a rare condition characterized by absence of abdominal musculature, cryptorchidism, and obstructive uropathy. The most common orthopaedic problem is scoliosis, yet no reports on growth-friendly surgical treatment of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) exist. Our purpose was to evaluate outcomes of distraction-based implants in children with PBS.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: The STOP questionnaire was developed to document reasons for discontinuation of growth-friendly (GF) treatment in early onset scoliosis (EOS). This study investigated the incidence of parental request (PR) on the STOP questionnaire and compared clinical information and Early Onset Scoliosis 24-Item Questionnaire (EOSQ-24) scores of PR patients with those whose parents did not request discontinuation (non-parent request [NPR]).
Materials And Methods: An international pediatric spine registry was queried for EOS patients with STOP questionnaires completed by their surgeon.
Complications and Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Various Etiologies of Early-Onset Scoliosis Treated with Magnetically Controlled Growing Rods-A Multicenter Study.
J Clin Med
July 2024
Department of Spine Disorders and Pediatric Orthopaedics, Poznań University of Medical Sciences, 28 Czerwca 1956 r. Street, no. 135/147, 61-545 Poznań, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) is diagnosed in children under 10 and surgery aims to stop curvature progression, improve correction, and support spinal growth, with magnetically controlled growing rods (MCGRs) as a treatment option.
- A study with 161 patients investigated complications from MCGR surgery and assessed their quality of life, using the EOSQ-24 questionnaire for evaluation.
- Results showed a 66% complication rate, with 26% of patients needing revision surgery, and emphasized that certain groups (like those with neuromuscular scoliosis and severe curvature) are at higher risk, indicating that reducing elective surgeries could improve overall satisfaction and quality of life.
Rib-on-Pelvis Deformity and Reported Pain in Neuromuscular Early-Onset Scoliosis.
J Pediatr Orthop
October 2024
Department of Orthopaedics, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA.
Background: Neuromuscular early-onset scoliosis (N-EOS) often presents with a long sweeping thoracolumbar scoliosis and pelvic obliquity. With severe pelvic obliquity, the ribs come into contact with the high side of the pelvis, termed rib-on-pelvis deformity (ROP). The goal of this study is to evaluate whether ROP is associated with reported pain and other health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measures.

Background: EOSQ-24 is a parent proxy questionnaire designed to assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of early-onset scoliosis (EOS) patients during their childhood years. EOSQ-SELF, a novel self-reported questionnaire, assesses HRQoL in older children (>8 y) and adolescents. So far, the same group of EOS patients has not been evaluated with both EOSQ-24 and EOSQ-SELF.
