Growth hormone state after completion of treatment with growth hormone. [PDF]
After completion of treatment with growth hormone (GH) 19 patients with isolated 'idiopathic' GH deficiency and 15 with post-irradiation GH deficiency underwent retesting of GH secretion with an insulin tolerance test or an arginine stimulation test, or both. Patients with post-irradiation GH deficiency comprised 13 patients with central nervous system

Comparison of two prediction models in a clinical setting to predict growth in prepubertal children on recombinant growth hormone [PDF]
Objective: Prediction models that calculate the growth response in children on recombinant growth hormone (GH) have shown to be helpful tools in deciding who should start treatment, as identifying GH deficiency can be a challenge. The aim of the study is

TREATMENT OF GROWTH-HORMONE DEFICIENCY WITH GROWTH-HORMONE-RELEASING HORMONE
18 prepubertal growth-hormone (GH)-deficient children were treated with twice-daily subcutaneous injections of a growth-hormone-releasing hormone analogue, GHRH (1-29) NH2. In 12 of the children the height velocity rose on GHRH treatment, and 8 were judged to have shown a worthwhile response to therapy in that their height velocities during the first 6

Treatment with Growth Hormone [PDF]
Treatment with growth hormone in children is a very effective promotor of growth. The psychosocial environment of children may influence the results of this treatment. It has been shown that there is a clear relationship between the knowledge and understanding a child has of the treatment and the degree of compliance and acceptance.

Comparison of growth response and adverse reaction according to growth hormone dosing strategy for children with short stature: LG Growth Study [PDF]
Objective: Growth hormone (GH) dosage in children is conventionally determined either by body weight (BW) or body surface area (BSA). However, there is no consensus on the calculation method for proper GH treatment dose.
