Results: Mean adult height standard deviation score — midparental height standard deviation score was −1.1 for both sexes.
A: number of species (i.e. species richness), B: Fisher's alpha diversity index, C: Shannon's H index, D: Pielou's evenness index, E: Phylogenetic diversity (PD), F: Phylogenetic diversity rate, G: total number of individuals, H: mean vegetation height, I: vegetation height standard deviation, J: vegetation height coefficient of variation.
Linear growth measured by median height standard deviation score improved from -0.7 before transplantation to -0.2 after transplantation.
The height, height standard deviation score (HSDS), and height velocity (HV) of the patients in the phase III Omnitrope® study entry were 118.7 (12.5) cm, −2.98 (0.6), and 3.86 (1.25) cm/year, respectively.
Auxological parameters [including height, height velocity, and their associated height standard deviation scores (HSDS)] were obtained from 39 patients.
Height standard deviation scores (height SDS) were calculated according to sex-specific reference growth charts for the Spanish population (Carrascosa et al. 22 charts were used for subjects under ages 30 years and Hernández et al. 23 for subjects aged 30 50 years).
To estimate the effect of catch-up growth, the SGA children were reclassified into two additional subgroups according to their corrected height standard deviation scores (SDSs): actual height SDS − midparental height SDS, where midparental height for boys equals father's height + (mother's height + 13)/2 and for girls equals mother's height + (father's height − 13)/2 (9, 10).
HSDS = height standard deviation score; THSDS = target height standard deviation score Table 4 shows how many children in the correctly referred group complied with the 7 different referral criteria mentioned in the DCG (although longitudinal data were used for the analyses a child could only meet a specific referral criterion once).
Growth in height and weight was similarly impaired in both groups (mean weight and height standard deviation scores (SDS) ranging from −1·6 to −1·8).
Participants had a height standard deviation score (SDS) below -2, or between -1 and -2 with a predicted adult height SDS below -2, all without apparent underlying pathology.
The mean age, weight, and height (standard deviation) of the group were 23 (4.2) years, 66.3 (4.6) kg, and 173.5 (33.5) cm.
