Clin Exp Pediatr. 2020;63(12):491-498.   Published online July 13, 2020
Question: What is the normal renal size of Thai children and is the renal nomogram comparable to those of Western and Chinese cohorts?
Finding: The renal length of Thai children was moderately correlated with that of Western children, while the age-specific renal volume was significantly smaller than that of Chinese children.
Meaning: Renal size in children can vary among regions and sociodemographic backgrounds; hence, a local reference standard is needed.

Question: Hospitalization in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with life-threatening hazards. What factors associated with neonatal length of stay (LOS) in the NICU?
Finding: Breastfeeding, phototherapy, acute renal failure (ARF), mechanical ventilation, and central venous catheter (CVC) access were identified as factors associated with NICU length of stay.
Meaning: Protective effects of breastfeeding and CVC access, whereas increase effects of phototherapy, ARF, and mechanical ventilation in LOS can be supporting evidence to establish effective interventions to reduce length of NICU stay.
Kidney size estimation in Korean children with Technesium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid scintigraphy
Min Jung Lee, Mi Kyung Son, Byung Ok Kwak, Hye Won Park, Sochung Chung, Kyo Sun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2014;57(1):41-45.   Published online January 31, 2014
Purpose

Renal size is an important indicator to determine adequate organ growth in children. The aim of this study was to estimate renal size with Technesium-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan and propose a simple formula for predicting renal length in normal Korean children.

Methods

This study included 346 children (148 boys and 198 girls; age range, 1 month to 17 years) in whom...

Evaluation of kidney size in children: a pilot study of renal length as a surrogate of organ growth
Boo Won Kim, Min Kyoung Song, Sochung Chung, Kyo Sun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2012;55(2):54-57.   Published online February 14, 2012
Purpose

Somatic growth is an important indicator of health in children. Adequate organ growth is essential in growth and directly related to body growth. We consider renal length as a surrogate of organ growth in growing children. Measurement of weight, height, and many anthropometric indices, such as body surface area (BSA), body mass index (BMI), and Rohrer and Kaup indices, are...

An analysis of one-year experience of pediatric observation unit: The first report in Korea
Jee Young Lee, Ui-Yoon Choi, Soo Young Lee, Ji-Young Lee, Byong Chan Lee, Hui Sung Hwang, Hye Rin Mok, Dae Chul Jeong, Seung Yun Chung, Jin Han Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(7):622-628.   Published online July 15, 2007
Purpose : While pediatric observation units (POU) have become a common practice in hospitals throughout developed countries, there has been no report about POUs in Korea so far. The aims of this study were to analyze our one-year's experience of the POU and to decide which disease entities are suitable for the POU. Methods : All children admitted from...
Analysis of anthropometric data for premature infants of 26 to 35 weeks of gestation; comparison with the data of 1960's
Ji A Aum, Hee Jin Jung, Jae Won Huh, Sang Hee Son
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(6):543-548.   Published online June 15, 2007
Purpose : The anthropometric data of newborns published by Lubchenco et al in the 1960's have been most commonly used in Korea as a standard of newborn growth. We hypothesized that Lubchenco's data have limitations for Korean premature infants born in the 2000's. We analyzed and compared the data of birth weight, length, and head circumference. Methods : The medical records...
Normal Values for Neonatal Periumbilical Skin Length
Young Pyo Chang, Hyung Suk Lim, Hye Won Park, Woong Huem Kim, Hee Ju Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1994;37(7):924-927.   Published online July 15, 1994
Malformations of umbilicus are feature of many dysmorphic syndromes and the measurement of periumbilical skin length should be considered as the basic step in the description of the umbilical malformations. So, we measured the periumbilical skin length in the 103 normal neonates and obtained the following results. 1) The means(+SD) of the periumbilical skin length were the 11.7mm(+3.0)in the cranial site...
A Genetic Linkage Study of Wilson Disease in Korean Families
Jong Won Kim, Sang In Kim, Jeong Kee Seo
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1993;36(11):1596-1612.   Published online November 15, 1993
Wilson disease gene (WND) locus is presumed to be located in chromosome 13q. There are studies on the clinical heterogeneities and variations between ethnic groups in Europe, North America, and the Middle East and it requites the study of another ethnic group, especially Asian population for the confirmation. This study was an analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism of the Wilson's...

Measurement of 1298 Korean Children in Seoul (male 661; female 637) resulted in normal standard data for ear length and width by their age and sex. 1) Ear length and width were as follows respectively : 36.0¡¾2.5mm 21.5¡¾2.5mm in male neonate, 56.3¡¾3.1mm 30.6¡¾3.2mm at 6yr boy, 63.2¡¾3.5mm 33.4¡¾3.2mm in 14 yr adolescent male, 35.5¡¾2.0mm 21.2¡¾2.1mm in female neonate, 54.6¡¾3.1mm 28.7¡¾2.4mm in...
A study on the length of the human umbilical cord.
Min Hee Kim, Young Hyuk Lee, Kyo Sun Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1991;34(12):1641-1646.   Published online December 31, 1991
A short umbilical cord is defined as 35 cm or less, whereas a long cord is 80 cm or more. Short umbilical cords have been associated with a delay in the second stage of labor, irregular fetal heart tones, placental abruption, rupture of the umbilical cord, inversion of the uterus, birth asphyxia, umbilical hernia and long umbilical cord have been associated more frequently...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(6):773-778.   Published online June 30, 1989
Sensitivity and specificity of detection of Mitral Regurgitation (MR) was assessed by Color Doppler. The degree of MR was also estimated by the Regurgitant Jet Length and Maximum Regurgitant Jet Area/Left Atrial Area (Max. RJA/LAA)% and compared with that assessed by Left Ventriculography. The following results were obtained: 1) Of 108 patients with an adequate Color Doppler study, 90 han no MR by Ventriculography. All were...
