(A) Amount of time required to increase height SD score by 2 was 2.5 years for hGH therapy administered at a dose of 67 mcg/kg/day and 5.5 years for hGH therapy administered at a dose of 33 mcg/kg/day in children born SGA. Figure 2A reprinted with permission from [82]. (B) After 6 years, similar height SD scores were achieved using 2 years of high-dose (100 mcg/kg/day) hGH therapy and 6 years of low-dose (33 mcg/kg/day) hGH therapy for children born SGA. hGH, human growth hormone; SD, standard deviation; SGA, small for gestational age.
