“…Secondly, as the data were collected retrospectively, not all the boys were followed to FHt. However, as all completed puberty (Tanner stage 5) we were able to use their PFHt, which is accurate at bone age 15.5-16, as their FHt (23,26). The mean age at onset of puberty was within the normal range in the SGA group (boys, 12.0^0.9; girls, 10.4^1.5), albeit significantly lower than in the AGA group (P , 0.01).…”

Objective: Few data are available on the pubertal development of children born small for gestational age (SGA) who fail to show catch-up growth. Design: A longitudinal analysis compared the pubertal course of persistently short children born SGA compared to children with idiopathic short stature who were appropriate for gestational age (AGA). One hundred and twenty-eight short children (height SDS , 21.7), including 76 (31 boys) born SGA and 52 (22 boys) born AGA, were regularly followed from early childhood to completion of puberty. Results: Puberty was attained at normal age (10.5 -14 years in boys, 9.5-13 years in girls) for most children in both the SGA and AGA groups (boys, 80% and 77%; girls, 76% and 78% respectively). The duration of puberty was similar in the SGA and AGA groups. Menarche occurred at normal age range but was significantly earlier in the SGA girls (P , 0.01 by ANOVA). Despite the similar total pubertal growth, the patterns of growth differed significantly: SGA group -accelerated growth and bone maturation rates from onset of puberty with peak height velocity at Tanner stages 2-3, followed by a decelerated growth rate and earlier fusion of the epiphyses; AGA group -steady progression of bone elongation and maturation throughout puberty (pubertal growth, P , 0.05 in both sexes; bone maturation, P , 0.001 in both sexes). Final height in the SGA group was compromised compared with their target height (P , 0.001). Conclusion: Children born SGA have a normal pubertal course with a distinct pubertal growth pattern. This pattern may represent an altered regulation of their growth modalities.

“…The remaining boys were followed to completion of puberty. We considered their PFHt at Tanner stage 5 as their FHt, since by that time, their BA was 15.5 -16 years, at which point the PFHt is accurate in both boys with a normal growth pattern as well as short boys, either SGA or AGA, with early or delayed puberty (23,26).…”

“…In children with a BA of >6 years (n = 17, 4 children of group 1 and all children of groups 2 and 3), the final height prediction was calculated using the radius, ulna, short bones method of Tanner et al [23](RUS/TW2) as well as that of Bayley and Pinneau [24], and compared to the parental target height. We gave preference to the presentation of the results based on the TW2 method, because this method has been shown to be the most accurate in children with normal growth potential [25]. …”

Background: Based on the reported favourable effects of growth hormone (GH) treatment on growth and body composition in Prader-Labhart-Willi syndrome, we studied age dependency and the long-term effects on growth dynamics to elucidate the assumed hypothalamic GH deficiency. Methods: We examined 23 children treated with hGH (24 U/m²/week) during a median of 4 (range 1.5–5.5) years; group 1: 10 young underweight (age 0.3–4.1 years), group 2: 8 prepubertal overweight (age 3.7–9.5 years) and group 3: 5 pubertal overweight children (age 9.0–14.6 years). Results: After 4 years of therapy, height gain amounted to 1.8 SD; height (0.0 SD) and hand length (–0.2 SD) were normalised in the 2 prepubertal groups; in children above 6 years, height prediction approached parental target height. Weight for height rose in group 1 (to 0.64 SD) and decreased in group 2 (to 0.71 SD) to normal levels. Bone maturation of the pubertal children was too advanced to show a clear growth response to GH (height gain 0.42 SD). Even in this group, weight for height was reduced, but remained supernormal. Conclusion: Under exogenous GH, growth and body proportions are normalised in prepubertal children. With early institution of treatment, final height prediction reaches the parental target height range after 3 years. Such a growth-promoting effect of exogenous GH has so far only been described in children with GH deficiency.

“…In a direct comparison, the BA as determined by the Greulich and Pyle method is generally about 1 'year' less than that as assessed by the Tanner-Whitehouse technique (86,87,89). One should realize, however, that BA determinations are SEX STEROID TREATMENT OF CTS 543…”
