- Each variable was used in turn to predict the occurrence of scoliosis in a logistic regression model. The size of the first and second doses of HGH (MG per KG1 and 2) and having Turner syndrome were predictive of having scoliosis. Variables for analysis where numbers exceeded 30 –
- a) Age of commencement
- b) Duration of HGH treatment
- c) Dose of HGH in Mg/Kg body weight
- d) First percentile height at commencement of HGH treatment (PCTL)
- e) Last percentile height at cessation of HGH treatment (PCTL)
- f) Presence of Turner syndrome
