Skeletal disproportion in Turner syndrome

McVey L , Fletcher A , Donaldson M D , Wong S C , Mason A

Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate sitting height (SH) and leg length (LL) in girls with Turner syndrome.Methods: Retrospective study of SH and LL SDS, using SHLL SDS (~0 in a proportionate child) as a measure of disproportion in 76 girls with Turner syndrome. Eligible girls were aged at least 4 years, had not started recombinant GH, and had no other chronic disease. 40 girls with measurements prior to pubertal induction and at adult height...

Body surface area estimation in girls with Turner syndrome: implications for interpretation of aortic sized index

Fletcher A , McVey L , Donaldson M , Hunter L , Mason A , Wong S C

Background: Recent consensus recommends assessment of aortic dimensions with aortic sized index (ASI) normalized for body surface area (BSA) defined as absolute aortic dimension/BSA, in girls with Turner syndrome (TS) as young as 10 years. There are currently multiple formulae for estimating BSA without agreement on a preferred method. We assess the clinical validity of each formulae as this may have implications on interpretation of ASI.Method: We calcu...
