We did a prospective study of 291 children and adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis to identify possible correlations between clinical (scoliometer value, age, height) and radiographic (Cobb angle, Nash-Moe rotation, Risser iliac apophysis classification) parameters to predict the curve angle. There was a statistically significant correlation between thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar scoliometer values and the thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar Cobb angles, respectively (Pearson's r-0.685, 0.572, and 0.677, respectively). There was a statistically significant correlation between Cobb angle in the thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar spine and the patients' age and height. Mathematical formulas that predict the Cobb angle of thoracic, thoracolumbar, and lumbar scoliosis using the scoliometer measurements are reported.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
