Does age of onset of a normally timed pubertal growth spurt affect the final height of children?
Final height is influenced by both height and the age of onset of the PGS in normal maturing children. A normal but early puberty exerts a negative effect on final height. A delayed PGS exerts a positive effect on final height.

These data suggest that women with AFL between 5.0-9.9 mmol/L with a labor disorder may be amenable to correction using the active management of labor protocol.
