The sciatic notch/acetabular index and its rule of thumb application was tested on two European skeletal series of documented sex. The results showed poor consistency between documented and estimated sex. Of the two variables comprising the index, it appeared that sciatic notch width was a particularly poor discriminator of sex. It is suggested that this may be due to differences in the relationship between sciatic notch form and body size in different ethnic groups.
在两个已记录性别的欧洲骨骼样本系列上测试了坐骨切迹/髋臼指数及其经验法则应用。结果显示，记录的性别与估计的性别之间一致性较差。在构成该指数的两个变量中，坐骨切迹宽度似乎是特别差的性别判别指标。有人认为，这可能是由于不同种族群体中坐骨切迹形态与体型之间关系存在差异所致。
