Final height in congenital adrenal hyperplasia: the dilemma of hypercortisolism versus hyperandrogenism.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify factors that might interfere with reaching the final height in patients with 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD).

Subjects And Methods: Thirty-one patients with classical 21-OHD who reached their FH in our Institution were evaluated in order to compare the Z score for final height (FHZ) with: (1) the target height, (2) the standard height for the population, and (3) the hydrocortisone treatment schedule.

Results: The FHZ of -2.
