To study the frequency of various causes of short stature and their etiological contribution in a referral endocrinology and metabolism clinic at a tertiary care hospital.
352 children with growth retardation attending endocrine clinic between Feb 1999 to Mar 2001 were investigated for etiology of short stature. Agrawal's growth chart was used for percentiles and height velocity. Various relevant radiological, biochemical and hormonal investigations were performed.
Normal variant short stature was the most common cause of short stature followed by endocrine causes.
In males most common cause of short stature was constitutional growth delay, while in females most common cause of short stature was familial short stature.
在一家三级护理医院的转诊内分泌与代谢门诊研究身材矮小各种病因的发生频率及其病因学贡献。
对1999年2月至2001年3月期间在内分泌门诊就诊的352例生长发育迟缓儿童进行身材矮小病因调查。使用阿格拉沃尔生长图表确定百分位数和身高增长速度。进行了各种相关的放射学、生化和激素检查。
正常变异型身材矮小是身材矮小最常见的原因，其次是内分泌原因。
在男性中，身材矮小最常见的原因是体质性生长发育延迟，而在女性中，身材矮小最常见的原因是家族性身材矮小。
