متن کاملValidation of Prediction Models for Near Adult Height in Children with Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficiency Treated with Growth Hormone: A Belgian Registry Study.
BACKGROUND/AIM To validate prediction models for near final adult height (nFAH) by Ranke et al. [Horm Res Paediatr 2013;79:51-67]. METHODS Height data of 127 (82 male) idiopathic growth hormone (GH)-deficient children, treated with GH until nFAH, were retrieved from the database of the Belgian Society for Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology (BESPEED). nFAH was predicted after first-year G...
متن کاملEffect of growth hormone treatment on children with idiopathic short stature and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency
PURPOSE There are inconsistencies in the results reported in a small number of previous studies into growth hormone (GH) treatment in Korean children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) and idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). Thus, the authors retrospectively compared the effects of GH in ISS and IGHD. METHODS From the medical records of 26 ISS and 30 IGHD children, auxological and b...
متن کاملAdult height in children with growth hormone deficiency who are treated with biosynthetic growth hormone: the National Cooperative Growth Study experience.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the height gain during puberty in children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) who are treated with biosynthetic growth hormone (GH) is similar to that in otherwise healthy children with delayed bone ages and whether the height standard deviation score (SDS), which began to increase before puberty, continues to increase during puberty. METHODS The inclusion cri...
