Children with short stature born small for gestational age - a new indication for treatment with growth hormone = Otroci z nizko rastjo, rojeni majhni za gestacijsko starost - nova indikacija za zdravljenje z rastnim hormonomPéter, FerencIn approximately 10% of newborns born small for gestational age the catch-up growth into the normal height range during the first 2-3 years of life does not occur. The majority of these children ... become short adults. In recent yearsseveral studies have been carried out to eliminate this type of short stature. This review article summarizes the international experience in this field. It is emphasized that growth is not the only problem in small for gestational age children. This review concentrates on human growth hormone treatment. Attention is drawn to the main prognostic factors: the starting age, dose and duration of human growth hormone therapy. Further important parameters are the growth and bone age retardation at the start of treatment as well as the target height. Today, an early start, a moderately elevated dose, and long-term (continuous or intermittent) therapy are proposed. In thisgroup, systematic control of carbohydrate metabolism is especially important. Key words: growth hormone therapy, children born small for gestational age.Source: Slovenska pediatrija : revija Združenja pediatrov Slovenije in Združenja specialistov šolske in visokošolske medicine Slovenije. - ISSN 1318-4423 (Letn. 11, št. 3, 2004, str. 63-74)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2004Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 19057625
