[Final body height affecting factors in Turner syndrome].
The treatment with growth hormone of girls with Turner syndrome can only be improved further if the factors promoting growth are identified and the treatment is adjusted to the patient's special needs. From among these factors the authors have examined the correlation of age, bone age, target height and height SDS existing at the beginning of the treatment on the one hand, and the projected final height determined at the beginning of the treatment on the other. Relationship of data were determined with linear regression analysis. According to the recent scientific literature early initiation and correct dosage of growth hormone treatment is emphasized.
