Area of Science:

  • Pediatric endocrinology
  • Neonatal health
  • Anatomy and physiology

Background:

  • Establishing normative data for infant anatomy is crucial for identifying potential developmental variations.
  • Standardized physical examination components ensure consistent assessment of newborns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish standardized measurements for clitoral length and width in newborns.
  • To advocate for the routine inclusion of these measurements in neonatal physical examinations.

Main Methods:

  • Development of standardized protocols for measuring clitoral length and width.
  • Validation of measurement techniques for reliability and reproducibility.

Main Results:

  • Provided clear standards for clitoral length and width measurements.
  • Demonstrated the simplicity, reliability, and reproducibility of these measurements.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed standards for clitoral measurements are practical and beneficial for neonatal care.
  • Routine incorporation of these measurements into the newborn physical exam is recommended.
