Evolution Of Growth Rate In Children With Growth Retardation Due to Glucocorticosteroid Therapy And Treated By Genotonorm

Height was measured using a wall mounted device (example, Harpenden stadiometer). The standing height of the participant was measured two times and the mean of these measurements was recorded. Height SDS CA Yx = (height Yx - reference mean for CA Yx) / reference SD for CA Yx; Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x. Height in SDS was calculated using Sempe reference means and SD for height. CA calculated as integer (Date of height measurement-Date of birth)/365.25*12.

Height SDS BA Yx = (height Yx - reference mean for BA Yx) / reference SD for BA Yx; Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x. Height in SDS was calculated using Sempe reference means and SD for height. BA was estimated locally using an X-ray from the left wrist and hand.

AGR at Yx was derived by subtracting AGR at baseline from Yx value. AGR was calculated each year and re scaled to 1 year if the interval between Yx and Y[x-1] was not 365 days, as long as a participant remained in the study. AGR at Yx was calculated using the previous height measurements (Y[x-1]) and height recorded at Yx (AGR Yx = [height Yx-height Y{x-1}] / ([date of Yx - date of Y{x-1}] /365.25). Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x.

GR SDS BA Yx = (GR Yx - reference mean for BA Yx) / reference SD for BA Yx; Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x. GR in SDS was calculated using Sempe reference means and SD for GR. BA was estimated locally using an X-ray from the left wrist and hand.

GR SDS CA Yx = (GR Yx - reference mean for CA Yx) / reference SD for CA Yx; Yx refers to the value at particular timepoint x. GR in SDS was calculated using Sempe reference means and SD for GR. CA calculated as integer (Date of height measurement-Date of birth)/365.25*12.

BMI was calculated by weight divided by height squared and measured as kilogram per square meter (kg/m^2).

BA was estimated locally using an X-ray from the left wrist and hand. CA at the date of corresponding X-ray (Date of X-ray - Date of birth)/365.25. Ratio of BA/CA at each annual study visit was calculated.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. AEs include both SAEs and non-SAEs.

Number of participants with clinically significant physical examinations changes since previous visit were reported. Physical examination including estimation of pubertal stage and blood pressure measurement;

Fasting and 2 hours plasma glucose levels were assessed using standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
