Quality of Life Assessment Before and After Growth Hormone Treatment in Adults with Growth Hormone Deficiency
Abstract
McGauley, G.A. (Department of Medicine, United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas's Hospitals, St Thomas's Hospital, London, UK). Quality of life assessment before and after growth hormone treatment in adults with growth hormone deficiency. Acta Paediatr Scand [Suppl] 356: 70, 1989. The effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) treatment on the quality of life w'as studied in adults with growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Twenty‐four adults who satisfied strict criteria for GHD took part in a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, 6‐month trial.‘Quality of life’assessment was performed at entry into the trial and after 1 month and 6 months, by means of self‐rating questionnaires. Entry data were also compared with a control group of healthy subjects matched for age, gender, ethnic origin, socio‐economic class and area of residence. Significantly lower scores on‘quality of life’assessment in the growth hormone (GH) deficient patients were reported at entry into the trial compared with matched controls, indicating that patients with GHD may be psychologically compromised. Preliminary analysis of the results shows that after 6 months patients receiving human growth hormone (hGH) treatment experienced less perceived illness than the placebo group. Significant psychological improvement was noted in the hGH‐treated patients’perception of their energy level and mood compared to the placebo group.

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.
