• Study description:
  The auxological parameters of GHD children treated with rhGH are compared with the countries specific growth standards and charts. Those are standardized and regular applied to all children in a unified manner, not attending to specific differences and allocation in differentiated growth groups.Nevertheless the development of children is not homogeneous and especially at the time of puberty, differences arise particularly in the age of pubertal onset, the time of pubertal growth spur and the rate of pubertal growth. Therefor the classification of children according to their pubertal group is of major importance, since children with a late or very late pubertal growth spur onset may be misdiagnosed as non-responders to rhGH and prematurely suspend their treatment, preventing them from reaching their full potential height.The Auxogrowth study intends to include the date of pubertal/post pubertal Spanish children treated with Omnitrope® on the AuxoLog program in order to evaluate their growth.It will include pubescent or post-pubescent children with GHD treated with Omnitrope® for at least two years before the onset of puberty with data available from at least one GH production stimulation test.Its objectives are to assess the increase in stature and growth rate in pubertal/post pubertal GHD children treated with Omnitrope® for a minimum of two years and to classify them according to time of pubertal development. The study will use the online AUXOLOG database program to conduct the work.AUXOLOG is a program that facilitates assessment of auxological parameters data and determination of growth patterns in children.
