Pubertal staging in boys

Biro, Frank M., Lucky, Anne W., Huster, Gertrude A., Morrison, John A.·1995·The Journal of Pediatrics

Abstract

To determine the earliest signs of pubertal maturation, we followed 515 boys, aged 10 to 15 years at intake, every 6 months for 3 years. Changes in age, height, weight, body mass index, and serum levels of sex steroid hormones were significantly related to pubertal stage (PS). The earliest clinical stage of pubertal maturation, designated PS2a, was represented by the absence of public hair and a testicular volume 3 cc or greater; 6 months later, further maturation had occurred in 82% of these boys. Inclusion of PS2a as the earliest stage of puberty may help allay concerns about boys with perceived delayed maturation, and may allow more precise definition of early puberty.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
