Sex and racial/ethnic disparities in children presenting for short stature evaluation: in-depth analysis at a single center
Disparities in overall short stature referrals were less evident in the subset of children with heights <-2 SD from mean. There was no significant sex bias in GHST, but racial/ethnic disparities remained. Improvement in referring and evaluating females and children from minority groups is still crucial as they remain under referred.
