Stature Prediction in Short Boys

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 1977

The errors were less than 3 cm for 20 of the B-P estimates and 27 of the RWT estimates with the RWT method tending to overpredict slightly and the B-P ...

A careful history, physical exam, and sometimes laboratory and radiographic studies and/or provocative testing may help to determine ...
