A Survey of the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis in Taiwan

Objective: Survey the prevalence of thoracic scoliosis through the chest x-ray examination of labor’s annual health.
Using univariate logistic regression was found that, the odds ratio for female was 2.61(95% CI: 1.93-3.51), old age and obesity (BMI＞27) had protective effect.
We can see that a study of surveying some regarding the chest x-ray examination of labor’s annual health is a interesting matter in healthcare.
If we could use another method like somehow the Rasch analysis to examine the abnormal interactions on items and persons, a newly developped resarch may be devived from that would-be published paper we have read in this week.
