GH, growth hormone; SDS, standard deviation score; MPH, mid-parental height; DiffMPH, difference in SDS between the height of the girl and the heights of her parents. SDS calculated versus the Swedish population for the girls (6, 57) and for the parents (58). ITT, intention to treat population; PP, per protocol population; @GHstart, model with available independent variables at GHstart; @puberty, models with available independent variables at pubertal onset.
