Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Scoliosis is an abnormal side-to-side spinal curve of greater than or equal to 100 Cobb angle. It is the most common spinal deformity in children and adolescents. Epidemiological evidence about scoliosis is scarce in Africa, including Ethiopia. This study was aimed at determining the prevalence of scoliosis among adolescents and analysing its association with age and sex using plain chest radiographs obtained for non-spinal reasons in Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital.
UNASSIGNED: All non-tilted, non-rotated, and non-poorly penetrated digital plain chest radiographs of adolescents aged 10 to 19 years obtained at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital between January 1 and December 31, 2019, were measured for the coronal Cobb angle. The data were cleaned, coded, and entered into SPSS version 26 for analysis. Chi-square, and linear regression, and logistic regression analyses were also carried out to evaluate the effect of sex and age on scoliosis.
UNASSIGNED: The Cobb angles of 1,369 posteroanterior chest radiographs of adolescents were measured. Thirty (2.2%, 95% CI: 1.4%, 3.0%) of these were found to have scoliosis. The mean coronal Cobb angle was 2.270±6.320. There was no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of scoliosis in boys (2.21%) and girls (2.17%) (X2=0.003, P=0.954). Likewise, age did not show any statistically significant difference in the prevalence of scoliosis (X2=2.655, P=0.265).
UNASSIGNED: This study revealed that incidental finding of adolescent scoliosis in plain chest radiographs is common. Further study using whole spine radiography should be carried out to determine the true general population prevalence of scoliosis in Ethiopia.

摘要：
■脊柱侧凸是大于或等于100Cobb角的异常的左右脊柱弯曲。它是儿童和青少年中最常见的脊柱畸形。关于脊柱侧弯的流行病学证据在非洲很少，包括埃塞俄比亚。这项研究旨在确定青少年脊柱侧弯的患病率，并使用TikurAnbessa专科医院因非脊柱原因获得的胸部X光片分析其与年龄和性别的关系。
■所有非倾斜，非旋转，我们测量了2019年1月1日至12月31日在TikurAnbessa专科医院获得的10至19岁青少年的非穿透性不良数字胸片的冠状Cobb角.数据被清理了,编码,并进入SPSS版本26进行分析。卡方，和线性回归，并进行了logistic回归分析，以评估性别和年龄对脊柱侧凸的影响。
■测量青少年1,369位后前胸片的Cobb角。三十（2.2%，95%CI：1.4%，其中3.0％）被发现患有脊柱侧弯。平均冠状Cobb角为2.270±6.320。男生脊柱侧凸患病率(2.21%)与女生(2.17%)差异无统计学意义(X2=0.003,P=0.954)。同样，年龄对脊柱侧凸的患病率无统计学差异(X2=2.655,P=0.265).
■这项研究表明，在胸部平片中偶然发现青少年脊柱侧弯是常见的。应进行使用全脊柱X线摄影的进一步研究，以确定埃塞俄比亚脊柱侧弯的真实人群患病率。
