Predicting adult height in Turner syndrome [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2005
Like Wasniewska et al. (1) we also have an interest inthe effect of growth hormone (GH) on growth andfinal adult height in Turner syndrome. Predictingfinal adult height in any individual is far from anexact science, but we believe that Wasniewska’s calcu-lations are flawed; first due to the inappropriate use ofheight standard deviation scores (SDS), and ...

Predicting the adult height of girls with central precocious puberty [PDF]

Medical Science Monitor, 2011
There are no absolute criteria for identifying those girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (CPP) who will benefit from gonadotropin-releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) treatment. Our objective was to predict at initial evaluation the differences between adult height (AH) and target height (TH) and (for untreated girls) the time between puberty ...
