Long-Term Growth in Juvenile Acquired Hypothyroidism:
Abstract
It has been suggested that complete catch-up growth is achieved with treatment in patients with juvenile acquired hypothyroidism. We tested this assumption by examining long-term growth in 18 girls (mean [+/- SD] age, 11.4 +/- 2.7 years; bone age, 6.2 +/- 3.1 years) and 6 boys (age, 10.6 +/- 4.7 years; bone age, 6.4 +/- 2.7 years) with severe primary hypothyroidism (serum thyroxine level 1.1 +/- 0.3 micrograms per deciliter [13 +/- 4 nmol per liter]). At diagnosis, heights were 4.04 +/- 0.5 and 3.15 +/- 0.4 SD below the mean heights for age of normal girls and boys, respectively. The patients were treated with levothyroxine (3.4 +/- 0.3 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day) to maintain normal thyroid function. During the first 18 months of therapy, the children's skeletal maturation exceeded the maturation expected for their statural growth, regardless of whether or not they were undergoing pubertal development. Predictions of decreased adult height were based on these observations. At maturity, girls and boys stood approximately 2 SD below normal adult stature, at 149 +/- 5.0 cm and 168 +/- 5.1 cm, respectively. Heights at maturity were also lower than midparental heights (P less than 0.01) and lower than pre-illness standard-deviation scores for height (P less than 0.01). The deficit in adult stature was significantly related to the duration of hypothyroidism before treatment (P less than 0.01). We conclude that despite treatment, prolonged juvenile acquired hypothyroidism results in a permanent height deficit related to the duration of thyroxine deficiency before treatment.

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.
