Predicting outcomes for a chest brace in pectus carinatum
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at what factors help predict how well a dynamic compression brace works for people with pectus carinatum (a chest wall that sticks out). It uses past patients’ records and later patients to see which early details relate to better or worse results.
