Preliminary data from the French SAGhE study of 6928 pts with isolated idiopathic GH deficiency (IsIGHD), idiopathic short stature (ISS) or born small for gestational age (SGA) who started GH treatment during childhood (1985–1996) & were followed up in 2009, suggested increased mortality vs the French general population (pop; standardized mortality ratio (SMR): 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.1–1.6; 116 403 person-years (PY))1.<p class="abstex...
