Correlation between the lateral and anteroposterior sacral ratios in anorectal malformations

ConclusionEven though the AP and lateral sacral ratios had moderate positive correlation, the mean sacral ratio determined by images in the lateral plane was 0.07  units greater than the AP plane. AP and lateral sacral ratios concluded different risk categories relatively often. Future studies are needed to determine whether AP or lateral sacral ratios correlate better with continence in patients with anorectal malformations.
