Table 2.

Effect of rhIGF1 therapy on height SDS in the treatment-naïve/prepubertal (NPP) subgroups with or without LS (registry population). Mean (s.d./95% CI) are not reported if the n is < 5. Responders were defined as patients with a change in height SDS in year 1 of ≥ 0.3. Poor-responders were defined as patients with a change in height SDS in year 1 of < 0.3.

aNPP-non-LS vs NPP-LS mean height SDS. bNPP-non-LSe-responders vs NPP-non-LS-poor-responders mean height SDS.

n, number of patients with available data at each time point. LS, Laron syndrome; SDS, standard deviation score.
