Age of menarche and final height in patients with permanent congenital hypothyroidism
While CH patients had a significantly higher age at menarche compared to the healthy population, appropriate treatment changed this age to be similar to that in the healthy group. However, CH patients who experienced delayed treatment had a higher age at menarche. Age at treatment initiation was the only screening-related variable related to age at onset of menarche and puberty.
