The present work is the result of a multicentric study performed at Hoima and Kitgum Hospitals in Uganda on a group of 20 children with Kwashiorkor. Bone age was evaluated on the X-ray film of the children's left hand and wrist, according to Tanner and to De Roo, by 2 different evaluators. The final results were compared. Eighty-five % of the patients presented delayed bone maturation: such a result confirms the importance of malnutrition on skeletal development. The data reported by other authors are also discussed.
本研究是在乌干达霍伊马和基特古姆医院对一组20名夸休可尔症儿童进行的多中心研究的结果。根据坦纳和德鲁的方法,由两名不同的评估人员对儿童左手和手腕的X光片进行骨龄评估。并对最终结果进行了比较。85%的患者出现骨成熟延迟:这一结果证实了营养不良对骨骼发育的重要影响。本文还讨论了其他作者报告的数据。
