Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is measured during clinical visits, measured using the Korean version of the Scoliosis Research Society 22 revision (SRS-22r) questionnaire. The SRS-22r contains 22 questions in five domains: function (5 items), pain (5 items), self-image (5 items), mental health (5 items), and satisfaction with management (2 items). Each item contains 5 response levels from worst (1 point) to best (5 point), and the results are expressed as the mean score of each domain and total score of the scale. A higher total score indicates a higher level of quality of life.	—
