Discriminatory performance of insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 by correlating values to chronological age bone age and pubertal status for diagnosis of isolated growth hormone deficiency

摘要

The discriminatory performance of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) was investigated by correlating their values with chronological age (CA), bone age (BA), and pubertal status (PS) for diagnosis of isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD).
