Efficacy and Safety of PEGylated Recombinant Human Growth Hormone in Children With Growth Hormone Deficiency and Idiopathic Short Stature: A Real-World Cohort Study. [PDF]
Background Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and idiopathic short stature (ISS) are common causes of short stature in children. In China, PEGylated recombinant human GH (PEG‐rhGH, Jintrolong) has been approved for the treatment of both conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PEG‐rhGH in children diagnosed with GHD or ISS and ...
