Evidence-based approach to growth hormone replacement therapy in adults, with special emphasis on body composition.
In the past decade, a large number of controlled clinical trials have reported positive effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy in GH-deficient adults. The majority of these studies have been carried out in accordance with the guidelines for Good Clinical Practice. The data thus accumulated offer a solid baseline for practicing evidence-based medicine within this area of endocrinology.
