height gain
The mean (SD) height at baseline was 139.6 (11.9) cm with a A comparison of observed height versus predicted height showed a steady increase of the mean observed height over time, which was at a lower rate than the predicted velocity of height gain at each monthly visit (Mean observed height versus mean predicted height Mean height Mirroring the mean height Z-score, the mean height percentile steadily decreased, with the mean (SD) height percentile decreasing from the 64.9 (26.6) to the 60.7 (27.7) percentile after 6 months in the treatment phase and to the 57.0 (27.7) percentile at 12 months (The mean baseline height Z-scores were 0.18, 0.53, 0.51, and 0.96, for baseline BMI quartiles 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively (Mean height
