The Impact of Growth Hormone Treatment on COVID-19 Susceptibility and Severity in Children with Short Stature: A Survey Study with Mendelian Randomization Analysis
GH treatment was associated with somewhat decreased COVID-19 susceptibility but was not statistically significant. Higher GH levels were causally associated with a significantly lower rate of COVID-19 susceptibility and hospitalization.
