Pituitary abnormalities in patients with pediatric growth hormone deficiency in a single tertiary center
The sensitivity and specificity of each cutoff value of IGF-1, IGF-1 SDS, IGFBP3, and GH peak levels were good and statistically significant in predicting brain MRI abnormalities. However, it was insufficient to predict all brain abnormalities with these variables. Therefore, we would like to recommend performing a brain MRI if a child is diagnosed with GHD.
