title: [Biosynthetic growth hormone and the opinions of pediatricians. The form of the problem after a regional survey].
abstract: An enquiry was undertaken with 35 pediatricians in the area of Bordeaux, concerning the attitudes induced by the future availability of a synthetic growth hormone obtained by genetic engineering and which might allow for treatment of a greater number of children presenting with important growth retardation. Biosynthetic growth hormone is perceived as a innovative technologic advance. However, the pediatricians questioned showed prudence as to the risks of excesses as to indications.
