Figure 2

Peak GH response according to number of additional pituitary hormone deficiencies (PHD). Horizontal lines represent the median values of the peak stimulated GH concentrations for patients with 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 additional PHDs; *p < 0.0001 for comparison of medians for the group with isolated GH deficiency (no additional PHDs) vs. all others. See “Results” for listing of stimulation tests used. #To avoid compressing the vertical axis, 1 GH value of 57 μg/L (idiopathic patient) is not shown. GH = growth hormone; N = total number of patients in each category (organic vs. idiopathic); n = number of patients in each subgroup.
