The transition period in children with growth hormone deficiency: A patient association’s viewpoint - 2022.
27
For 20 years, growth hormone therapy has been available for adults with growth hormone deficiency. Recommendations and multiple tools have been put in place to offer the best possible support during the transition period, which is the obligatory passage for children with a chronic disease from pediatric care to the adult sector. Nevertheless, the fact remains that many adults are not treated or even monitored for their growth hormone deficiency, which is not without consequences for their health.
