Continuous variables are expressed as mean (standard deviation) and analyzed using the independent samples t-test, unless noted otherwise. Categorical variables are analyzed using the Fisher's exact test. Significant P-values are highlighted with bold.
a
Birth data were available for 26 and paternal pubertal growth data for 27 PA females;
b
Continuous non-normally distributed variables are expressed as median (25th−75th percentiles) and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U-test. cMPH, corrected mid-parental height; SGA, small-for-gestational age; SDS, standard deviation score; PA, premature adrenarche.
