Efficacy and safety of a 4-year combination therapy of growth hormone and gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue in pubertal girls with short predicted adult height [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
ObjectivesTo improve adult height in pubertal girls with a poor height prediction, treatment with growth hormone (GH) can be used in combination with a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa), to delay closure of the growth plates.

Prediction of adult height [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1978
Different methods of height prediction were compared in healthy subjects of known adult height, 30 males and 30 females. Predictions were made yearly at ages 8-17 years. Epiphyseal bone age (BA) was determined with Greulich-Pyle Atlas (G-P) and TW 2 RUS.
