Emotional Deprivation and Growth Retardation Simulating Idiopathic Hypopituitarism: Clinical Evaluation of the Syndrome
Abstract
DURING the past six years we have observed and evaluated 13 children, most of whom initially were believed to have growth failure on the basis of idiopathic hypopituitarism. However, a number of unusual features were noted in the histories that suggested emotional disturbances in the children and abnormal home environments. These were not common to the histories of patients with idiopathic hypopituitarism. When these patients were placed in a convalescent hospital, they demonstrated remarkable growth acceleration without receiving growth hormone or other agents. Detailed studies were performed before and during the period of rapid growth. This paper presents the clinical . . .

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.
