[Comparison of different bone age assessment methods in 5 573 children aged 3-18 years].
Abstract
The TW3 and CHN BA showed considerable deviations from chronological age (CA), particularly pronounced in pubertal children. Although the China 05 BA exhibited relatively smaller deviations from CA, the height corresponding to a given skeletal maturity level were different; thus, the impact of secular growth trends should be considered when interpreting growth potential based on skeletal maturity. In clinical practice, scientific comprehensive interpretation of BA standards requires the integration of multi-dimensional indicators and dynamic growth trends, so as to provide evidence-based references for diagnosis and treatment of growth disorders.
