    Author: O'Neil J, Fuqua JS.
    Journal: J Pediatr Rehabil Med; 2020; 13(4):549-555. PubMed ID: 32986629.
    Abstract:
    It is estimated that a significant percentage of individuals with spina bifida (SB) are shorter than their age-matched typical peers. Parents of children with spina bifida may ask if human growth hormone is appropriate for their child. This article discusses short stature and the use of human growth hormone among children with SB. This guideline was developed for SB Healthcare Guidelines from the 2018 Spina Bifida Association's Fourth Edition of the Guidelines for the Care of People with Spina Bifida.
