Effects of Prolonged Cortisone Therapy on the Statural Growth, Skeletal Maturation and Metabolic Status of Children
Abstract
OBSERVATIONS on children suffering from Cushing's syndrome have indicated clearly that adrenocortical steroids of the cortisone type may have a marked tendency to suppress growth.1 , 2 The present study was undertaken, therefore, when it became apparent that the symptomatic relief afforded patients by cortisone might result in the prolonged administration of this hormone to growing children. The chief purpose of the study has been to determine if possible what effect long-continued cortisone therapy might be expected to have on ultimate stature and metabolic status.Material and MethodsThe patients studied were children receiving cortisone because of adrenocortical virilism, panhypopituitarism, hypoadrenocorticism or . . .

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.
