Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. Long-acting growth hormone (LAGH) offers a potential advantage over daily growth hormone (GH) injections in children with GHD through reduced injection frequency and treatment burden; this may also be associated with improved adherence and treatment outcomes over time

  2. Data on LAGH in pediatric GHD are mostly limited to clinical trials; long-term, real-world data are lacking
