Defining ascending aorta dilatation in pediatric bicuspid aortic valve: Comparison of known classical and new z-score nomograms, and anthropometric parameters indexing for its assessment
There was good correlation and concordance between HZ and PHN nomograms, the latter resulting in higher z-scores. PHN has better agreement with BSA-I than HZ, with the PHN > +3 z-score threshold being the highest predictor for BSA-I dilatation definition, also showing higher specificity and sensitivity. BSA-I classified fewer patients as dilated than nomograms in adult-sized children but not in the younger cohort. Clinicians should be aware of this effect of BSA when normalizing diameters.
