“…Regarding case-control studies judged by the NOS tool, one study 16 was of poor quality, one study 11 was of fair quality, and four studies 10,[21][22][23] were of good quality (Table S4). Based on the NIH Tool guidelines, three studies 1,9,24 were of fair quality and six studies 7,[25][26][27][28][29] were of good quality (Table S5).…”

Introduction/Aims Nerve ultrasound is useful in the diagnosis and follow‐up of peripheral nerve disorders in children. The aim of this study was to explore and analyze the current literature on nerve cross‐sectional area (CSA) in healthy children, with the goal of presenting reference values and discussing their implications. Methods We performed a systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies that reported ultrasound measurements of the upper or lower limb nerves in healthy children through a search of Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus. Results Sixteen studies with measurements of 10 nerves covering a total of 5149 nerves measured in 823 healthy children (445 boys and 378 girls) were included. Mean nerve CSA increased with age in the median nerve at the middle and lower third of the upper arm, mid‐forearm, and distal wrist crease, the ulnar nerve at the middle third of the upper arm and elbow, the radial nerve at the spiral groove, and the tibial nerve at the popliteal fossa. Growth charts for nerve CSA for different age groups were developed. Discussion This meta‐analysis provides robust reference values for nerve CSA at different sites in children, and this can inform clinical practice and assist in identifying nerve enlargement. Moreover, it identifies the strength and quality of the current published data. We recommend future studies divide their samples into smaller age subgroups and standardize the anatomic site of measurement.

“…The MNCSA can be affected by factors such as age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), height, and underlying diseases like diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis [13][14][15][16][17]. The present study was designed to evaluate the association between age and MNCSA.…”

This cross-sectional study was designed considering disagreements on the normal range of Median Nerve Cross-Sectional Area (MNCSA) and its association with age. Methods:In this cross-sectional descriptive study, the upper limbs of 98 healthy subjects (46 men and 52 women) were assessed bilaterally by sonography, and MNCSA was measured at the distal wrist crease. Results:Mean MNCSA values for subjects older and younger than 40 were 11.25 mm 2 and 10.21 mm 2 , respectively. The results showed that the MNCSA significantly increased after 40 years of age. Conclusion:According to the present study's findings, advances in age can increase the MNCSA and affect the diagnostic accuracy of MNCSA measurement in CTS diagnosis.
