Research Article: Self-puberty staging in endocrine encounters during the COVID pandemic

Date Published: 2024-10-28

Abstract:
Background: Evaluation of pubertal development is crucial in Endocrinology. The rise in telemedicine during COVID-19 has made conduct of physical examinations more challenging, especially for pubertal assessment. Previous studies on validity of pubertal self-staging versus clinical examination have yielded mixed results. This study aimed to determine validity and reliability of self-staging of puberty, with potential application during telemedicine visits. The present study is the first to assess pediatric self-rated pubertal staging during the pandemic.
