In the citing paper
“Historically, a cutoff value of 5 mg/L correlated with GHD phenotypes, particularly pertaining to height velocity and adult height (24).”
From Diagnosis of GH Deficiency as a Late Effect of Radiotherapy in Survivors of Childhood Cancers (2018) · cites this paper as [24]
In the citing paper
“Most of this variability results from the presence of multiple GH variants in serum, including polymeric and fragmented forms, which are differentially detected in various assays (24).”
From Diagnosis of GH Deficiency as a Late Effect of Radiotherapy in Survivors of Childhood Cancers (2018) · cites this paper as [24]
In the citing paper
“While some GH stimulation tests have been applied to younger populations (detailed below), sensitive and specific cut points for the biochemical detection of GHD in children are currently debated, and results of these tests should be interpreted with caution.75”
In the citing paper
“Biochemical assay results can also be affected by nutritional and pubertal status; there is no consensus on priming with sex steroids prior to testing for GHD in transition-age patients.75”
In the citing paper
“Although GH provocation tests are considered the mainstay of GHD diagnosis in transition-age patients, issues with variability, reproducibility, and limited evidence for cutoff values in these patients mean that results should be interpreted cautiously.75”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
