Key result
Maximum P wave duration and dispersion in healthy children correlate with age but not gender.
Cross-Sectional (n=232)
No
Absolute Event Rate: 103% vs 102%
p-value: p=0.23
In healthy children, P wave duration and P dispersion are not affected by gender but increase with age, which should be considered when evaluating these parameters.

Supports age-adjusted P-wave norms in pediatric ECGs; leaves open outcome associations in disease.
Köse et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy (n=232). Male gender vs. Female gender was evaluated on Maximum P wave duration (p=0.23). In healthy children, maximum P wave duration and P dispersion showed no significant gender differences but were significantly correlated with age.
