Abstract

CONTEXT: Prediction of AH is frequently undertaken in the clinical setting. The commonly used methods are based on the assessment of skeletal maturation. Predictive algorithms generated by machine learning, which can already automatically drive cars and recognize spoken language, are the keys to unlocking data that can precisely inform the pediatrician for real-time decision making.
