Turner's syndrome: challenges of late diagnosis

Lee, Marilyn Cheng, Conway, Gerard S·2014·The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology

Abstract

Girls and women with Turner's syndrome who come to medical attention older than 12 years present a challenge of medical management. Puberty is already delayed and some compromises have to be made in adjusting the timing of artificially induced puberty to optimise overall outcome with respect to stature, secondary sex characteristics, and psychosocial endpoints. Additionally, individuals who present with primary amenorrhoea to adult services might miss the opportunity for effective growth hormone treatment. Further, induction of puberty regimens lack an evidence base or even clear guidelines for the timing and dose of oestrogen replacement. We have searched the scientific literature to inform management of Turner's syndrome.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • When girls with TS are not identified in infancy by characteristic features such as lymphedema and webbed neck, the diagnosis is often made years after growth failure ensues, and sometimes little or no growth potential remains.

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.
