  1. Legend: We compared the duration data of each stage for girls with TS undergoing sex steroid HRT and normally developing Chinese girls during puberty and found that it in the girls with TS, breast stage 2 progressed more quickly, while breast Tanner stage 3 progressed more slowly
  2. Footnote: The follow-up intervals of 3–6 months could include two changes in breast stage. We could not identify each change in stage; thus, we could not ensure that the number of patients during each interval remained the same
