Patients with a Diagnosis of Growth Hormone Deficiency via the Glucagon Stimulation Test
GH category (mean ± SEM) Cutoff for the category | Percentage (N) |
---|---|
sGHD (1.38 ± 0.09) | 45% |
Peak GH ≤3 μg/L | (N = 105) |
mGHD (4.54 ± 0.09) | 17% |
Peak GH 3.1–5.0 μg/L | (N = 41) |
nGHD (10.97 ± 0.60): | 38% |
Peak GH ≥5.1 μg/L | (N = 89) |
The majority of patients had a diagnosis of severe growth hormone deficiency (sGHD).
GH, growth hormone; SEM, standard error of the mean; mGHD. moderate growth hormone deficiency; nGHD, no growth hormone deficiency.
