Abstract
National Cooperative Growth Study (NCGS) substudy VIII was designed to determine the characteristics of children who are referred to pediatric endocrinologists for evaluation of short stature but are not treated with growth hormone (GH). No specific course of treatment is required to enter the study. Data on the subjects' characteristics at enrollment, the diagnostic procedures used by the investigators, and the occurrences of various medical conditions and intercurrent illnesses will be collected prospectively and will be compared with the corresponding data on children in the NCGS who are treated with GH.
