摘要
At present, there are no uniform definitions for terms such as "small for gestational age" (SGA) and "catch-up growth" that can be used when evaluating children who are born small. Data suggest that growth hormone (GH) therapy can play a role in helping children born SGA achieve adequate height. For therapy to be successful, however, precise terminology must be defined and standardized, surveillance and identification of potential candidates must be performed, and treatment plans must be tailored to the unique needs of each patient. This manuscript focuses on each of these issues, and also identifies additional concerns that must be addressed as a consequence. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
