Efficacy and Safety of Three‐Years Growth Hormone Treatment in Girls With Turner Syndrome and Growth Hormone Deficiency: A Case‐Control Study
In conclusion, GH treatment in both TS and GHD girls is an effective, safe treatment for short stature, improving both height and growth rate, especially during the first year of treatment. Moreover, although growth outcomes were significantly better in GHD girls in the first year of treatment, over time no significant differences were observed between TS and GHD girls.
