Introduction: Children with idiopathic short stature (ISS) are known to have varying responses to growth hormone (GH) treatment (GHT).
Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis to identify clinical characteristics predictive of good and poor response during year 1 of GHT. Data from the NordiNet® IOS (NCT00960128) and the ANSWER Program (NCT01009905) were used.

Article Synopsis
- Weekly injections for treating growth deficiency in children are just as effective as daily injections, showing similar growth rates.
- The safety of weekly injections is comparable to daily injections, indicating no significant risk differences.
- It's important to note that treatment decisions should consider all evidence, not just one study, and approval for the drug may vary by country.
Background: The exceptional growth rate during adolescence demands increased dietary intake. We aimed to compare diet and lifestyle of pre-adolescents with height and weight below the 10 percentile, with those of pre-adolescents of higher height and weight.
Methods: This case-control study included healthy pre-pubertal girls (≥9 years) and boys (≥10 years).
Introduction: The long-term effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on body weight has not been sufficiently analyzed. This study aimed to analyze changes in body mass index (BMI) during and after the COVID-19 pandemic among a large pediatric population attending health care clinics.
Methods: This retrospective longitudinal cohort study utilized electronic medical data of 106,871 children (52.
Background: Periodical BMI measurement during visits with primary care pediatricians (PCP) can be central to diagnosing, managing, and treating overweight/obesity. The aim was to evaluate among children and adolescents with similar BMI percentiles, whether recording a formal diagnosis by PCP, of overweight/obesity is associated with improved performance rates of obesity-related care.
Methods: The electronic database of the largest health maintenance organization in Israel was searched for all patients aged 2-18 years with BMI recorded at a visit with the PCP during 2017-2023.
