The purpose of this study was to examine the health status of early adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis using depression-anxiety scales, a generic Quality-of-Life Inventory as well as the Scoliosis Research Society-22 (SRS-22) questionnaire to search for the most comprehensive approach for the measurement of outcomes. Thirty-seven early adolescent patients with idiopathic scoliosis were analyzed within 6-12 months of the postoperative time period. There was no statistically significant correlation between the total score of SRS-22 and the total scores of the pediatric quality-of-life inventory. However, the total scores of SRS-22 were positively correlated with the self-esteem level and negatively correlated with the depression level and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children scores. In early adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis deformity correction, SRS-22 may be inadequate in terms of mental health and physical activity parameters to evaluate overall quality of life.
