We analyzed the effect of having different BMI and BMI SDS, if any, on linear growth (HtSDS) in a cohort of prepubertal children (n = 102) in different BMI categories. In addition, we studied the effect of weight changes on linear growth in a randomly selected group of underweight children after nutritional rehabilitation (NR).Subjects and Methods: All prepubertal children between 1 and 9 years presented to the general pediatric clin...

Background: Debate still exists about the safety of long-term use of prednisone (PD) versus hydrocortisone (HC) for treating children with CAH. Relatively slight supraphysiologic levels may be enough to blunt growth velocity, increase weight gain.Objectives of the study: We evaluated the anthropometric and biochemical effects of long-term PD versus HC treatment in children with CAH-21OHD.<p class="ab...
