Table 3.

Morbidity defined by standard cutoffs versus height-adjusted SDs (measures from all years combined)

Standard cutoff (N = 387) > 2 SDs above mean (N = 387)
Left liver enlarged* 4 (1.0%) 28 (7.2%)
Right liver enlarged 6 (1.6%) 36 (9.3%)
Portal vein enlarged 3 (0.8%) 15 (3.9%)
Spleen thickened 5 (1.3%) 10 (2.6%)
Spleen lengthened 2/83 (2.4%) 1/83* (1.2%)
*

Cutoffs for each measure: left liver lobe, > 90 mm; right liver lobe, > 140 mm; portal vein, > 12 mm; spleen thickness, > 40 mm; spleen length, > 120 mm.

N = 83 (spleen length was only measured in 2007).
