Clin Exp Pediatr. 2009;52(11):1249-1259.   Published online November 15, 2009
Purpose : From a societal perspective, we evaluated the cost-effectiveness of a novel sustained-release injection of recombinant human growth hormone (GH) administered on a weekly basis compared with that of the present daily GH injection for the treatment of children with GH deficiency. Methods : Health-related utility for GH therapy was measured based on the visual analogue scale. During July...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(3):305-311.   Published online March 15, 2006
Purpose : GnRH analogues(GnRHa) are used to treat central precocious puberty(CPP). However, in some patients, the GV decrease is so remarkable that it impairs predicted adult height(PAH); and there fore, the addition of growth hormone(GH) is suggested. We analysed the growth changes during two years and final adult height(FAH) in girls with idiopathic CPP treated with combined therapy, compared with...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(5):585-592.   Published online May 15, 1998
Purpose : The accuracy of bacteriologic diagnosis of beta-hemolytic streptococcal pharyngotonsillitis depends on the degree of carrier rate in that area. It is the purpose of this study to obtain the carrier rate from seven different areas and to find results and epidemiologic factors. Methods : Throat swab was obtained from the tonsillar fossa of normal school children during March through...
