Abstract

Abstract Objectives: Brace treatment in children with pectus carinatum has become the method of choice during the last decade. The authors evaluate the role of anthropometric measurements in diagnostic and treatment processes. Methods: A prospective study, analysing a compressive brace treatment for pectus carinatum, performed between January 2018 and September 2020. Demographic data, anthropometric dimensions and indexes of the chest, data connected to an orthosis usage, as well as ongoing treatment outcomes were analysed. Results: Forty-seven consecutive patients aged between 10 to 18 years with pectus carinatum were prescribed a compressive brace. Thirtynine of them (83 %) reached clinically positive results while wearing the orthosis for 6 ± 3 months. An improvement in the sagittal chest diameter was 0.5 cm – 2.8 cm (mean 1.0 cm ± 0.5 cm) and an improvement of the Thoracic Index was 0.8 % – 25.1 % (6.4 % ± 4.5 %) by using the brace on average for (6 ± 2) hours a day. Conclusion: Clinical anthropometric measurements can evaluate the dimensions of chest wall and treatment progress in patients with pectus carinatum precisely and thus replace the need for more complex examinations requiring X-rays.

人类学测量在胸突支架治疗评价中的作用

摘要目的：在过去的十年里，支架治疗儿童隆突已成为首选方法。作者评估了人体测量在诊断和治疗过程中的作用。方法：一项前瞻性研究，分析了2018年1月至2020年9月期间对隆突的加压支架治疗。分析了人口统计学数据、胸部的人体测量尺寸和指数、与矫形器使用有关的数据以及正在进行的治疗结果。结果：47名年龄在10至18岁之间的隆突患者连续接受了加压支架治疗。其中30例（83%）在佩戴矫形器6±3个月后达到临床阳性结果。平均每天使用支架（6±2）小时，矢状胸径改善0.5 cm–2.8 cm（平均1.0 cm±0.5 cm），胸部指数改善0.8%–25.1%（6.4%±4.5%）。结论：临床人体测量可以准确评估隆突患者的胸壁尺寸和治疗进展，从而取代需要X光检查的更复杂检查。
