Care of girls and women with Turner syndrome: a guideline of the Turner syndrome study group

Bondy, Carolyn A.·2007·The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this work is to provide updated guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of girls and women with Turner syndrome (TS). PARTICIPANTS: The Turner Syndrome Consensus Study Group is a multidisciplinary panel of experts with relevant clinical and research experience with TS that met in Bethesda, Maryland, April 2006. The meeting was supported by the National Institute of Child Health and unrestricted educational grants from pharmaceutical companies. EVIDENCE: The study group used peer-reviewed published information to form its principal recommendations. Expert opinion was used where good evidence was lacking. CONSENSUS: The study group met for 3 d to discuss key issues. Breakout groups focused on genetic, cardiological, auxological, psychological, gynecological, and general medical concerns and drafted recommendations for presentation to the whole group. Draft reports were available for additional comment on the meeting web site. Synthesis of the section reports and final revisions were reviewed by e-mail and approved by whole-group consensus. CONCLUSIONS: We suggest that parents receiving a prenatal diagnosis of TS be advised of the broad phenotypic spectrum and the good quality of life observed in TS in recent years. We recommend that magnetic resonance angiography be used in addition to echocardiography to evaluate the cardiovascular system and suggest that patients with defined cardiovascular defects be cautioned in regard to pregnancy and certain types of exercise. We recommend that puberty should not be delayed to promote statural growth. We suggest a comprehensive educational evaluation in early childhood to identify potential attention-deficit or nonverbal learning disorders. We suggest that caregivers address the prospect of premature ovarian failure in an open and sensitive manner and emphasize the critical importance of estrogen treatment for feminization and for bone health during the adult years. All individuals with TS require continued monitoring of hearing and thyroid function throughout the lifespan. We suggest that adults with TS be monitored for aortic enlargement, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.

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

  • Numerous important advances in TS care have been noted since the publication of previous guidelines.

    “Previous guidelines have already addressed this, but numerous important advances have been noted since their publication.1-3”
  • CHD occurs in approximately half of individuals with TS, including BAV, aortic coarctation, and an arteriopathy that can lead to rare but often fatal aortic dissections.

    “CHD occurs in approximately half of individuals with TS, including BAV, aortic coarctation, and an arteriopathy that can lead to rare but often fatal aortic dissections.”
  • The prevalence of CHD in TS ranges from 40%-60%, most commonly left-sided obstructive lesions such as BAV and coarctation.

    “Depending on the age and the imaging technique used, the prevalence of CHD in TS ranges from 40%-60%, most commonly left-sided obstructive lesions such as BAV and coarctation (Table 11).3,356,385-388”

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.
