Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Change From Baseline in Height Standard Deviation Score According to Chronological Age (SDS/CA) at Year 3 [Baseline, Year 3]

    Height was measured using a wall mounted device (example, Harpenden stadiometer). Height SDS/CA was obtained by measuring the height, subtracting chronological age- and gender-appropriate mean height and dividing the result by standard deviation of that mean (as obtained from chronological age- and gender-specific population reference data). SDS indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive SDS) or lower (in case of negative SDS) participant's value was relative to the mean of the reference population.

  2. Change From Baseline in Height Standard Deviation Score According to Chronological Age (SDS/CA) at Final Height [Baseline, when final height was reached (assessed up to Year 11)]

    Height was measured using a wall mounted device (example, Harpenden stadiometer). Height SDS/CA was obtained by measuring the height, subtracting chronological age- and gender-appropriate mean height and dividing the result by standard deviation of that mean (as obtained from chronological age- and gender-specific population reference data). SDS indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive SDS) or lower (in case of negative SDS) participant's value was relative to the mean of the reference population.

  3. Change From Baseline in Weight Standard Deviation Score (SDS) at Final Height [Baseline, when final height was reached (assessed up to Year 11)]

    Body weight was measured using a balance scale. Weight SDS was obtained by measuring the weight, subtracting age- and gender-appropriate mean weight and dividing the result by standard deviation of that mean (as obtained from age- and gender-specific population reference data). SDS indicated how many standard deviations higher (in case of positive SDS) or lower (in case of negative SDS) participant's value was relative to the mean of the reference population.

  4. Puberty Stage at Final Height [When final height was reached (assessed up to Year 11)]

    Pubertal stage (graded from I to V for breast development and pubic hair development) according to the Tanner's method was collected. A low stage (Stage I) corresponds to a pre-pubertal stage and a high stage (Stage V) to an adult stage.
