Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the deficiency of one of the enzymes involved in cortisol synthesis. More than 95% of the cases occur as a result of defects in the gene encoding 21-hydroxylase (). 21-hydroxylase deficiency has been divided into classical and non-classical forms.

Between 90% and 99% of cases of CAH are caused by 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) caused by mutations in . Although 21-OHD has been historically divided into classical and non-classical forms, it is now thought to show a continuous phenotype.

Additionally, the study assessed changes in CGM metrics over nine months of CGM use.
Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted across 11 centers in Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the response to growth hormone (GH) therapy of patients with growth hormone deficiency (GHD), idiopathic short stature (ISS), and small for gestational age (SGA).
Materials And Methods: The data of the 202 children who received GH treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Laboratory parameters, puberty stages, annual growth rates, body mass index (BMI), GH side effects, target height (TH), estimated adult height (EAH), and bone age (BA) were obtained during the GH treatment period.
