Text: The following statistically significant findings supported the use of six injections per week compared with three injections per week : the mean (+ / - SD) increment in height during 2 years was 11. 3 cm (3. 8 cm) with six injections vs 8. 6 cm (3. 4 cm) with three injections ; the increment in height standard deviation score was 0. 9 cm (0. 5 cm) vs 0. 6 cm (0. 3 cm) ; the growth velocity was 6. 6 cm/y (2. 0 cm/y) vs 5. 2 cm/y (1. 7 cm/y) in year 1 and 4. 7 cm/y (2. 0 cm/y) vs 3. 4 cm/y (1. 7 cm/y) in year 2 ; and the increment in height standard deviation score for bone age was 0. 8 cm (0. 5 cm) vs 0. 4 cm (0. 6 cm).
