Puberty in growth hormone-treated children born small for gestational age (SGA).
Seventy-five small for gestational age (SGA) children were studied in a randomized, double-blind, dose-response GH trial with either 1 or 2 mg GH/m(2).d. Mean (SD) age at the start of GH therapy was 7.3 (2.2) yr. Data were compared with Dutch reference data. In SGA boys, mean (SD) age at onset of puberty was 12.0 (1.0) and 11.6 (0.7) yr, and in SGA girls it was 10.9 (1.1) and 10.6 (1.2) yr when...

No data are available on longitudinal renal growth in twin infants born small for gestational age (SGA). The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to estimat...

متن کاملAuxological and Biochemical Continuum of Short Children Born Small for Gestational Age (SGA) during Growth Hormone (GH) Treatment
Introduction: The role of growth hormone (GH) on body composition in Japanese children born small for gestational age (SGA) has not been fully elucidated. Methods: Every six months, the total GH dose was adjusted: SGA, 33-66 μg/kg/day, or GHD, 25-30 μg/kg/ day. Changes in metabolic parameters (HbA1c, leptin, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cho...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Small for Gestational Age (SGA) at Birth and Developmental Delay in Children Aged 4 to 60 Months
