OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that might interfere with reaching the final height in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Thirty-one patients with classical 21-OHD who reached their FH in our Institution were eva

OBJECTIVE: To determine final height (FH) in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) patients and investigate conditions allowing better height outcome. METHODOLOGY: 13 salt-wasting (SW) and 14 simple virilizing (SV) patients were studied. FH and target height (TH) were transformed into standard deviation score (z). Data were analyzed according to sex, clinical form, age at treatment onset and length of treatment before attaining FH. RESULTS: zFH (n= 27) was -1.57 ± 1.01. FH (-1.50 ± 1.03) was below TH (-0.78 ± 0.84) […]
