Update of guidelines for the use of growth hormone in children: the Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrinology Society Drug and Therapeutics Committee.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Lawson Wilkins Pediatric Endocrinology Society Drug and Therapeutics Committee guidelines for the use of growth hormone were first published in 1983, near the end of the era of human pituitary-derived growth hormone (GH), and again in 1995, a decade after the introduction of recombinant human (rh)GH. The LawsonWilkins Pediatric Endocrine Society also endorsed an international consensus document led by the Growth Hormone Research Society published in 2000. This report serves to update those guidelines with an emphasis on new recommendations. The recommendations included here are limited primarily to the use of GH in infants, children and adolescents.

Instead, Baron et al. [2] convincingly argued that disorders of this axis represent only a small part of the spectrum of growth disorders. In fact, the majority of growth disorders are as...
