Abstract
The growth pattern, pubertal course, and adult height are reported for 85 girls born with appropriate size for gestational age who were referred to Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel between 5 and 8.8 years of age for precocious adrenarche (PA). The clinical course of these girls provides reassurance that although PA had impact on the pre-pubertal growth pattern, it was not associated with early/rapid progression of puberty or reduced adult height. This cohort and outcomes are in contrast to those of girls with PA who were born small for gestational age.
