These reviews of evaluation and care of patients with short stature should provide a framework for addressing the needs of these patients. Continued study of the mechanisms of short stature may facilitate prediction of the efficacy of growth hormone, growth factor, and perhaps other treatments. In addition, long-term studies should continue to examine the medical and psychological effects of treatment so that treatment decisions are as judicious as possible.
