Spontaneous final adult height in patients with idiopathic short stature

Key Points

• Final adult height can be predicted using prepubertal bone age, providing a reliable estimate for affected individuals.
• Height standard deviation scores at ages 4 and 6 are critical indicators for predicting adult height outcomes.
• Assessment uses predictive models based on bone development and early childhood growth patterns to inform height expectations.
• Results imply early interventions may be guided by these predictive measures to assess growth progress accurately.
