Specifies whether the Cobb angle is above or below 30°, or alternatively whether scoliosis has been diagnosed without reference to the Cobb angle. Whenever the Cobb angle is known to be above 30°, registries should provide Cobb angle above 30 as value. If the Cobb angle is unknown, but scoliosis was diagnosed, the value Scoliosis diagnosed should be provided instead. Whenever no scoliosis has been diagnosed or the Cobb angle is known to be 30° or less, the value Scoliosis not diagnosed should be provided. Registries, in particular patient-reported registries, may ask about a scoliosis diagnosis without reference to the Cobb angle in a yes/no question where the replies are mapped to Scoliosis diagnosed and Scoliosis not diagnosed, respectively.
If the value is Scoliosis not diagnosed at the baseline entry, but the individual has had surgery that corrected a previous scoliosis, a backdated value for this item should be provided that indicates the scoliosis status before the surgery.

This is a reference period record: For each record instance, the following dates (consisting of month and year) must be captured:
Begin date specifies the begin of the period to which
the question refers
End date specifies the end of the period to which the
question refers
At baseline, the period should range over the last 12 months before the date of entry; at follow-ups, it should range from the last update to the date of entry. See the introduction for more information.
The first reference period collected at baseline should range from the date of birth of the individual to the date of the baseline entry so that the item Non-spinal fractures diagnosed specifies whether a non-spinal fracture has ever been diagnosed up to that point. For registry updates, the period should range from the previous entry to the date of the current entry, so that Non-spinal fractures diagnosed specifies whether a fracture has been diagnosed since the last update.
Using reference periods allows registries to explicitly state that no fractures have been diagnosed in a certain period.
Specifies whether any fractures other than spinal have been diagnosed.
If the value is Yes, the dates and locations of the fractures must be collected in instances of the record Non-spinal fracture.

Specifies on which side of the body the fracture is located in case Non-spinal fracture location specifies a bone or body part that comes in pairs. For all other values of Non-spinal fracture location (Pelvis, Skull and Jaw), this value must be unspecified.
