*Least square means. Based on the full analysis set.
†Patients in group B were not treated during the first 6 months of the study and received growth hormone during the second 6 months of the study.
CI = confidence interval; Ht-SDS = height standard deviation score; Ht-V = height velocity; IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor 1; IGFBP-3 = insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3; SD = standard deviation.
