Diagnostic Value of Peak-to-Basal Difference or Ratio of Growth Hormone in Children with Growth Hormone Deficiency
To the best of our knowledge, ΔGH has been explored only in a limited number of studies. This study investigated diagnostic accuracy of difference (ΔGH) or ratio of peak-to-basal GH on a large cohort of children with short stature. The supportive diagnostic performance observed in our cohort suggests that ΔGH is clinically useful in routine practice.
