Objective Bone age (BA) is a crucial indicator for revealing the growth and development of children. This study tested the performance of a fully automated artificial intelligence (AI) system for BA assessment of Chinese children with abnormal growth and development. Materials and Methods A fully automated AI system based on the Greulich and Pyle (GP) method was developed for Chinese children by using 8,000 BA radiographs from five medical centers nationwide in China. Then, a total of 745 cases (360 boys and 385 girls) with abnormal growth and development from another tertiary medical center of north China were consecutively collected between January and October 2018 to test the system. The reference standard was defined as the result interpreted by two experienced reviewers (a radiologist with 10 years and an endocrinologist with 15 years of experience in BA reading) through consensus using the GP atlas. BA accuracy within 1 year, root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute difference (MAD), and 95% limits of agreement according to the Bland-Altman plot were statistically calculated. Results For Chinese pediatric patients with abnormal growth and development, the accuracy of this new automated AI system within 1 year was 84.60% as compared to the reference standard, with the highest percentage of 89.45% in the 12- to 18-year group. The RMSE, MAD, and 95% limits of agreement of the AI system were 0.76 years, 0.58 years, and −1.547 to 1.428, respectively, according to the Bland-Altman plot. The largest difference between the AI and experts’ BA result was noted for patients of short stature with bone deformities, severe osteomalacia, or different rates of maturation of the carpals and phalanges. Conclusions The developed automated AI system could achieve comparable BA results to experienced reviewers for Chinese children with abnormal growth and development.

Anders,1 noted that pediatrics and child psychiatry have, in the past, shown little ability to collaborate. The unfortunate effects of this lack of collaboration have been brought into focus in the report of the Task Force on Pediatric Education,2 which notes that "about half of young pediatricians rated their residency as providing insufficient experience with psychosocial and behavioral problems," and indicated a need for information about normal and abnormal growth and development patterns, psychological testing, psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, parenting and behavioral change.

Lima tahun pertama adalah masa penting dalam proses tumbuh kembang anak. Anak lahir dan tinggal di daerah rawan bencana (bencana alam, perang, atau konflik bersenjata) berisiko mengalami kegagalan pertumbuhan dan keterlambatan perkembangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengukur perbedaan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak usia 3 - 24 bulan antara yang tinggal di daerah konflik dan bukan konflik dan menganalisis korelasi tempat tinggal daerah konflik dengan pertumbuhan serta perkembangan anak usia 3 - 24 bulan. Metode penelitian secara potong lintang dilakukan di Kabupaten Poso periode Februari - Maret 2014 terhadap 40 anak usia 3 - 24 bulan di daerah konflik dan bukan konflik. Data dianalisis menggunakan kai kuadrat dan korelasi point biseral. Hasil pertumbuhan berdasarkan berat badan/panjang badan di daerah konflik dan bukan konflik, kurus berturut-turut 32% dan 2% (p<0,001), sedangkan perkembangan yang meragukan berturut-turut 30% dan 5% (p=0,006). Berdasarkan lingkar kepala pertumbuhan tidak normal masing-masing 17% dan 0% (p=0,006). Variabel perancu (jenis kelamin, pendidikan ibu, penghasilan) tidak memengaruhi pertumbuhan anak usia 3-24 bulan di daerah konflik (p>0,05), tetapi jenis kelamin memengaruhi perkembangan (p=0,010). Pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak usia 3-24 bulan yang tinggal di daerah konflik lebih terganggu dibandingkan dengan yang tinggal di daerah bukan konflik. Terdapat korelasi antara tempat tinggal daerah konflik dan jenis kelamin anak dengan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak usia 3-24 bulan.The first five years are an important period in the development of the child. Children born and living in areas prone to disasters (natural disasters, war or armed conflict), risk of growth failure and developmental delay. This study aimed to measure the difference in the growth and development of children aged between 3 - 24 months who live in areas of conflict and not conflict and analyze correlations residential areas of conflict with the growth and development of children aged 3 - 24 months. Method of cross-sectional studies conducted in Poso regency February - March 2014 to children aged 3 - 24 months in areas of conflict and not conflict. Data were analyzed using chisquare and correlation point biseral.The results based on the growth of weight /height in conflict areas and not conflict, successive thin 32% and 2% (p<0.001), whereas the development of the doubt in a row 30% and 5% (p=0.006). Based on head circumference abnormal growth respectively 17% and 0% (p=0.006). Confounding variables (gender, maternal education, income) does not affect the growth of children aged 3 - 24 months in areas of conflict (p>0.05), but influence the development of gender (p=0.010). Conclusions growth and development of children aged 3 - 24 months who live in areas of conflict more disturbed than those living in areas not conflict. There is a correlation residential areas of conflict and gender of children with the growth and development of children 3-24 months of age.
