Abstract
This brief report is a preliminary review of the interpretation of 'fi nal height' in a large study of children, some of whom have been treat ed with recombinant human growth hormone for as long as 8 years. Most of the children in this study have not attained final height, so we hi ghlight the issues relating to the definition of final height, study c ompletion and diagnosis.
