Abstract

Objective To observe growth velocity and influencing factors for first-year of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH)in treating prepuberty children with idiopathic short stature(ISS). Methods Forty-two prepubertal ISS children were treated with rhGH for at least one year.The relationships between gender,age at baseline,height standard deviation score pretreatment,Body Mass Index standard deviation score pretreatment,height standard deviation score of father,height standard deviation score of mother,growth velocity pretreatment,bone age pretreatment and the first year growth velocity were analyzed with correlation analysis. Results rhGH treatment improved all the 42 patients' the first year GV of ISS children in this study.Age at baseline is the independent influence factor on the first year GV. Conclusion rhGH-Treatment for ISS should be performed as young as possible.

Key words
