Impact of BMI on peak growth hormone responses to provocative tests and therapeutic outcome in children with growth hormone deficiency
Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between peak stimulated growth hormone (GH) and body mass index (BMI), as well as the impact of BMI on therapeutic response in patients with GH deficiency (GHD). A total of 460 patients were enrolled in the study. The patients were divided into four groups as per the etiology and peak GH values: idiopathic (n = 439), organic (n = 21), complete (n = 114), and partial (n = 325) GHD groups. Subsequently,...
