Chest Measurements as an Aid in the Diagnosis of Cystic Fibrosis

Stanley J. Stamm M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and Jack Docter M.D.2

1 Director, Cardiopulmonary Research Laboratory, Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center
2 Medical Director and Director, Cystic Fibrosis Center, Children's Orthopedic Hospital and Medical Center

Surface area and chest circumference of 4,000 school children from five to 14 years of age have been surveyed and compared with a group of 65 known cystic fibrotic children. A direct (SA/C) ratio demonstrated a consistency of placement of all cystic fibrosis patients irrespective of presence or absence of pulmonary involvement.
