title: Non-conventional growth hormone treatment in short children.
abstract: Despite the fact that GH has been available in sufficient amounts to allow treatment in non-conventional indications during childhood, results on final height are not available or are available in only very small groups of patients. Much has to be done to answer the question of how to optimize GH treatment, with respect not only to final height, but also to normal psychosocial development.
