Short stature associated with intrauterine growth retardation : Final height of untreated and growth hormone-treated children

Short term studies have demonstrated the acceleration of growth velocity after the administration of GH in short children born with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). We report the final heights of 70 IUGR children whose short stature was attributed to idiopathic GH deficiency (peak plasma GH
