- W4323047766 abstract "Background: Several studies have evaluated the role of IGF-1 in the diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD). According to a recent study, an IGF-1 concentration of a −1.5 standard deviation score (SDS) appeared to be the best cut-off for distinguishing between children with GHD and normal children. This value should always be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and biochemical parameters for the diagnosis of GHD, since both stimulation tests and IGF-1 assays have poor diagnostic accuracy by themselves. Our study was designed to evaluate the adult height (AH) in children with short stature and baseline IGF-1 concentration ≤ −1.5 SDS. Design: This retrospective analysis included 52 children and adolescents evaluated over the last 30 years for short stature and/or deceleration of the growth rate who underwent diagnostic procedures to evaluate a possible GHD. Only the patients who had baseline IGF-1 values ≤−1.5 SDS at the time of the first test were included in the study. Patients with genetic/organic GHD or underlying diseases were not included. Method: The case group consisted of 24 patients (13 boys and 11 girls) with non-permanent, idiopathic, and isolated GHD (peak GH < 10 μg/L after two provocative tests with arginine (Arg), insulin tolerance test (ITT), and clonidine (Clo), or <20 μg/L after GHRH + Arginine (GHRH+Arg); normal MRI; normal GH; and/or normal IGF-1 concentrations at near-AH). These patients were treated with GH (25–35 μg/kg/die) until near-AH. The control group consisted of 28 patients (23 boys and 5 girls) with idiopathic short stature (ISS, normal peak GH after provocative testing, no evidence of other causes for their shortness). Both groups had basal IGF-1 ≤−1.5 SDS. Results: AH and height gain in both groups were comparable. In the group of cases, mean IGF-1 SDS at the time of diagnosis was significantly lower than the levels found at the time of retesting. Conclusions: In this study, both treated patients with idiopathic GHD and untreated patients with ISS reached similar near-AHs (within target height) and showed similar increases in SDS for their height. Thus, the efficacy of treatment with rhGH in these patients may be questionable. This could be due to the fact that children with ISS are frequently misdiagnosed with GHD." @default.
